Agree completely. It would be preferable if the first year players play reserves only in 2016, developing the understanding and fitness to compete properly and contribute. I fail to see the benefit in 18 year olds getting games because they were high picks. The club therefore needs to ensure the reserves are being coached properly and they are building the same approach and culture in the NBs.
We have too many players that were chucked in too early. Gibbs stands out as the example of what not to do. The guy was getting jabs in his injured ankle in his first year.
The 'have a go' mentality is a recipe for trouble. Having an opportunity when the hard work has been done and the levels required to receive the opportunity are understood is where the club must head toward.
