Message: [QUOTE="bent, post: 2390942, member: 1894"] Ive got to be honest I hated the idea of Beale being in our centres for game 1 this year, what i had seen of his defence in the past looked terrible. After seeing him at fullback I understood why we are putting so much time in to this guy now. He is still very young and he hasnt figured out how to build on confidence yet. He also doesnt look like he has played a lot of wing and doesnt know how to finish tries yet. Part of what makes a good winger is confidence to make things happen when nothing is on to give a playmaker a kick option when the defence is crowding them. Defence is also a confidence thing, Beale is struggling with this as well. I think boringly enough as far as development goes Beale and Gagai are at roughly the same level, they both have good attack they both have ordinary defence. Gagai looks like a more natural winger than Beale, but looks like he hasnt got the consistency to be a first grader yet. The question will be will Beale gain in confidence and improve as a winger before Gagai catches up to him with more experience in first grade. If we persist with Beale I think he will repay the team in time. [/QUOTE]
