Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2598888, member: 1899"] Rumour going around that Brenko Lee will make his debut tonight for the Raiders. While I haven't been impressed with his progress in the reserves, I like that Ricky is trying something because I don't think either Allwood or Sauiluma have the natural ability to play first grade. I would have liked to have seen Hawkins get the first shot but then again, that's purely a 'greener grass' scenario and what I saw from him in the NYC. Still think he should consider giving Mago a go off the bench. Another very talented backrow prospect and with Papalii out, worth a shot off the bench. Speaking of giving young talent a go, I hope you guys got a chance to check out Ari's 'This is how you fix' Newcastle post. It's a good read and I agree with a lot of his points. Usually, I'm a big proponent of minimal roster changes, achieving balance and all that boring 1%er say your prayers, eat your vitamins rhetoric but considering Bennett plays such a one-out style based on individual talent, I believe changes should be made. I can't begin to express my disappointment for them that Bennett basically stuck with the same 17. Sadly, it will probably be rewarded with victory since the Cowboys lost two of their best players in Tate & Scott but I thought it would have been a good opportunity to push Mamo to the wing, in place of McManus who I believe has been relatively useless so far in 2014 and promote Sims in place of Fa'alogo. I think young Korbin would have relished the opportunity to take on his brothers in a starting spot and while I wouldn't consistently give him long minutes, this would have been one of those games where I'd unleash him.
