But sooner or later SPF, we have to pull the trigger, what is the point of drafting this talent while we keep on keeping on with the same old same old crew delivering rubbish like last weekend?
Even if they are crap, at least I get to see a new face delivering it!
LP I think one or both are very close to selection. They have only just finished the last round of practice games, this unfortunately was the only hit out they had prior to now. If you're going to play them, perhaps now is not a bad time, the other teams are still getting their fitness base up after the season start, however I think you would have to manage them. Either of Kerr or McKay for instance could be played off a wing or half forward flank, this would mean the defenders have to run with and give the young guys a run at the ball. Parking them in the forward 50 would simply invite rebounds from our forward half.
If you going to park anyone in the forward 50, it has to be either Casboult of Rowe IMHO. They are the best we have right now. Alex Silvagni on the lead, also bash and crash them inside 50. This would keep the defense honest at least. They would not be able to zone off at will.
