Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3407965, member: 2290"] Exactly. We have 3 really good future spine players coming through at the same time which is great but the challenge is finding the balance of giving them game time before they get inpatient (eg Walsh) and debuting them all at the same time leaving you with an inexperienced spine (eg the Titans). The dragons are in a similar position with Amone, OSullivan, and Sloan. Potentially all stars of the future but they’re really struggling to manage their development while not unbalancing the NRL team. We are very fortunate with Cobbo (assuming/praying he extends) because unlike most kids he isn’t demanding we rush him into a spine position. He seems content to build his confidence in the outside backs - the big challenge here is we may have to carry his contract being expensive. This being the case I don’t see any need to rush him and we actually have the luxury of playing an established player at fullback (whether that be Martin or someone else). Which means we can blood Mam first. With Reynolds retirement on the horizon, I think our main focus should be getting Mam established before this occurs. Mozer is an easy one because Paix will do fine until he is ready and he can have short stints off the bench and drop in and out of first grade as he develops. There’s no great rush there either.
