Message: [QUOTE="Shane Tronc, post: 3300354, member: 9655"] This point is moot because of the restrictions anyway, but confidence is so important to us as a team going forward. We have so many players in our team who are playing on ZERO confidence currently, obviously Croft is a prime example of that (not saying that’s his only problem). I would prioritise keeping players in cup if possible to keep building their confidence for next year. You seriously cannot emphasise the importance of confidence to our team. I would much prefer players like Ezra continue killing it in cup rather than having their confidence destroyed in NRL. Restrictions make it really difficult for players like Cobbo, Bullemor etc. Ideally them being out of the NRL team would give some positives because they’d be building confidence in cup, but obviously they can’t do that at the moment. I do wonder if Bullemor’s NRL play time has been limited so much this season for confidence reasons. Maybe it’s better if he gets 20 minutes here and there and kills it as opposed to having fluctuating performance at longer minutes? I think it’s really important to scaffold NRL for younger players, Bennett is the exemplar for this as a coach. What probably makes it look unfair for Bullemor is that in previous years we’ve just thrown blokes like Flegler, Carrigan in. So we wonder why Bullemor doesn’t get the same since he’s performing so well. I hope his role expands next year. [/QUOTE]
