Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2423191, member: 1899"] When JT & Smith were selected all they had was potential. If you could make a modern comparison it'd be like selecting Ray Thompson & Andrew McCullough. Slater was basically like Barba when he was initially selected in '04. Point is, they weren't the players they became when we selected them and I believe the confidence shown in them allowed them to become the players they did. When some of those NSW sides ran out you knew that the likes of Campese, Mullen & initially Pearce were under all sorts of pressure and were so petrified with f**king up they went into their shells. Fortunately NSWRL have seemingly realised this and have stopped this constant cutting and changing but really I reckon they ruined a lot of careers with some very cruel selection decisions. [/QUOTE]
