Message: [QUOTE="HarryAllan7, post: 3476501, member: 9372"] I agree that Mam would have benefitted from more time in QCup before starting first grade, but unfortunately that ship has sailed. He's now, for better or worse, sinking or swimming at NRL level and there's no value in taking a backwards step and demoting him. That's the problem with blooding these young rookies so early - it's a bell that can't be un-rung... Not only would it potentially deflate and shatter his confidence and harm his game, but he's now got the expectation that he's a first grade player and if he doesn't get playing time he will just go somewhere else. Having said all that, Mam is very impressive for such a young guy. His defence is exceptional given his age and size and while his decision making can be erratic, that's to be expected of such a young half... It will come with time, age and experience. Even Cleary was no different when he first started. While Mam can make poor decisions sometimes, the one thing that's really impressive for such a young player is that he doesn't often try too hard or overplay his hand - he seems calm and composed and that's a fantastic quality for a half that you can't teach. I think he's going to come on alot this year. [/QUOTE]
