Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2914701, member: 1769"] there is a big difference in giving him a run in the trials against weakened oppositions to making him a "weekly inclusion" in the toughest most competitive rugby league competition in the world ... he hasn't played ISC yet (in fact only named on the bench for his first game this weekend) Let's see how he goes in his first competitive game playing against men instead of other kids and if we need to rely on a young forward that hasn't even played reserve grade yet ... then our pack is in worse shape than i thought. I believe he will eventually be the foundation of our pack ... but only if we develop him properly and not rush him ... Have a look at the way we handled development of Shane Webcke, he didn't make his debut until he was 21 (Haas is only 19) ... but it is a different time ... fans see the Hype about a rookie player and how he is portrayed in the media, and want him rushed into the side at all costs (especially after a loss), even if those same fans have only see him play 20 mins in a trial against a very under-strength opponent [/QUOTE]
