You've got to bear in mind with highlight reels, that it is only the best bits that get shown. Kevin Penny's highlights are up there with the best, but the reason he's not starting every week is the stuff left off the highlight reel.

I'm not saying Maneely's necessarily got a 'shocker' reel - I've never seen him play - just that we can't take that video as proof that he is amazing.

If you were building a team from scratch and were told you can only have one world class player, which position do you pick?
For me it's hooker, the play starts at the ptb, a world class hooker will win you more games than any other position.

Hooker is definitely a specialised position.

certainly something in that Yed.
Cunningham and Roby
very influential on everything Saints.

It certainly does needs sorting and quickly, nothing underneath or weak foundations it will surely implode, in the great scheme of things the cost of running a under 21's can be affordable, a few older players being allowed to gain match fitness, more time for late developers a host of benefits, as Walter states short sighted in capitals.

Haven´t we only just signed the lad from London ?

Richard Harris.

He plays FB or centre, Nine. And he is on trial (last I heard), don't know if he has signed yet. Walter may know if he reads this.
