Message: [QUOTE="Wolfie, post: 3100125, member: 8770"] No contradiction whatsoever. 2019 form means nothing at all in terms of selection for 2020. How can it? That doesnt mean you have to forget it, but its got no bearing on players getting picked in 2020. You judge what they are doing at that moment in time, so like it or not, its a wait and see proposition at the moment. The 2019 form can only be used really by our coach as a tool to say " perform as poorly as you did last year, and you wont be in my plans " The trial form will decide what happens imo. And where has anything ever been said Coates or Herbie have just 2 games to prove themselves? I certainly havent. At the same time though, they didnt make enough of an impression to demand selection. Thats really what we need them to do. Any player that gets picked for round 1 probably needs 4 or 5 games minimum to get a good idea of what they can do. If you have an issue with a non performing Boyd, thats an issue you need to take up with the coach. He picks the team after all. And for somebody apparently not scapegoating Boyd, you bring it back to him a lot. Why not have the argument about Macca, or Issako, who was comfortably as poor as Boyd was. Oates wasnt great either. TPJ let us down badly with his poor discipline. The coach was poor as well. Boyd not performing was just one of many issues we had. Our failures shouldnt just be pinned on him because people are down on him. The test, going forward, is do we have a coach strong enough to make the big calls and reward players who deserve to be in the team. For what its worth, Boyd, Macca and Issako wouldnt be in my side for round 1 based on my current opinions of them, but i'd rather wait and see what they bring in the trial games before i write them off.
