Message: [QUOTE="Culhwch, post: 3562759, member: 1983"] I was genuinely asking, by the way, I wasn't sure if I'd missed earlier games, and I knew you'd know. I'm not saying they shouldn't play him, or that he's not ready - I don't know him from a bar of soap, clearly, so I have no idea about that. Just that it could be a high-pressure situation to throw a young and inexperienced at this level player into. As I said, it's probably not going to eventuate given the opposition this week. But it's set up to potentially end badly. A debut a couple of weeks ago that got everyone across the league calling him the next big thing. His next game is a sudden death semi-final, where he's coming onto the bench - in place of the much-storied Paps, no less. He could very well be thrown in to the action when they are down, and be expected to add that unmeasurable quality, 'spark'. Or possibly worse - put on when they are up, and commit an error that sees them lose. It's all speculation and and what-ifs at this stage - but it's just something that stuck me. And of course there's nothing to say that if any of these worst-case scenarios eventuate it would even affect him adversely. [/QUOTE]
