Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3235868, member: 9853"] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I][B]Kevin Walters [/B]clears the air, without saying much:[/I] "What we’re very conscious of is making sure Tom gets the right support around him to be successful at this club. We want him coming into a winning team and an environment he is comfortable playing. He is still only a young fella in age and also experience as well. The NRL is a tough environment for halfbacks and any young player to be learning their skill and that’s our main head space around Tom. I’ve looked at all of our great halves from the last 10 years. Cooper Cronk, Johnathan Thurston, Daly Cherry-Evans. These guys are all Queenslanders of course but they’ve all come through the competition in the Intrust Super Cup or NSW Cup whichever competition they were playing in, they did some time there, they learnt some things about themselves and about the game then applied that into the next level." [ATTACH type="full"]12124[/ATTACH] [I]Gaining confidence[/I] "We are in no hurry to rush Tom, we know he is a good talent and he will play lots of NRL for us this season, there is no doubt about that. But we’ve got to make sure he is coming through in the right environment. He is a big part of our future and we want to nurse him through this initial period of his career where he is gaining confidence every week in his ability. We are bringing him through the right way and nurturing Tom to be that player we believe to be our long-term No.7." McHunt[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
