It's no good bringing fire to the enemy when you're the best part of thirty points down. Had he reserved his aggression for the opening ten minutes he might have been useful.
I suppose Magennis has to do SOMETHING to attract attention. Like Wheeler he's playing with the clock ticking in his ear. Sans some nugget of consistent form he's heading rapidly toward the exit. Maybe he'll flesh out, or his confidence will grow. But right now he's too small to threaten those ahead of him.
We really do need to think seriously about the number of forwards we're promoting from the academy who quite clearly don't have the frame to develop into players who can challenge the established pros. It's not healthy for competition and makes players too safe for our good.
