Agreed

I think we should at least give him chance to show what he can do before he gets slated on social media!

Agreed.
80% of people on this site have him written off before he had laced his boots. We could sign the entire Aussie pack and we would still write them off! Come on give the lad a chance.

We don't need to sign "never have beens", give the academy guys a chance of first team action for the rest of the season. What's the worst that can happen? There's no relegation. Give the young guns some essential game time and assess their potential for 2021.

Well said.

The kids will get games this season have you seen the fixture list when we get into October/November it would be stupid to go into them without utilising a full squad

Problem is theyve nowhere else to play. Its ok saying they will play in Oct/Nov, they wont have played for 7 or 8 months by then and thats why they need game time now. In fact Sam Walters hasnt played since February so could be 9 months for him.

This. The odd game here is not enough. I want these youngsters playing 80% of the remaining games.

They cant physically do 80% of the games. They have to be brought thru gradually especially forwards.

9 months without a game is damaging for a players development, I really hope we see these players soon as dropping them in in October is not great planning

Firstly Boden Thompson is not a never have been, has played at a good level in some good teams. Players can transform from ok to great and back again when they are at different clubs with different coaches. Lets give the lad a chance.
Secondly saying they havent played in 6-9 months is the clubs fault is ridiculous, no one had played in 4.5 months. Please have realistic expectations during a global pandemic

Agreed, but what they could do is play half the remaining games and play roughly half the minutes in those games. With no relegation there isn’t a better time to play the kids.

I think this may well happen and hopefully the coaching team will target games for them to be used in.

Agar says exactly that and explains why they went for Bodene Thompson and it makes a lot of sense.

Relying on kids and not using a full squad when the fixture list is goimg to be very heavy on the players is IMO irresponsible.

No, what's being said is that by oct/Nov there will have been 2-3+ months of rugby, they should definitely be introduced before then. Of course nobody is blaming the club for 5 months of not playing, but someone suggested they'd get there chance in oct/Nov massively extending their lack of match practice!!! Please have a reasonable grasp as to whats actually being said.

Also, what good teams has thompson played in?
