| Quote vastman="vastman"I do understand where you’re coming from but I honestly don’t think your boy or any of them are ready. Not more than a few first team games between them. I know Senior is hardly a seasoned pro but if you’re honest he’s still a fair way ahead.
Don’t get me wrong, if we looked half decent and we were not knee deep in injuries I’d welcome the youngsters getting a run. However at the moment it’s probably a good thing they don’t even if it doesn’t seem like it.
I hope the above is how CC sees it, sadly I can’t quite get the thought that he’s in panic mode out of my head. As I say I’m convinced it’s not the right time to blood youngsters, I’m less convinced that this lad is quite what we need.
We will see soon enough.'"
Innes is a lot better than green smith

| If you never play the likes of greensmith you will never know how good they are some dont develop until later in their 20s others like andy farrell could play in any team at 16 its just how they progress and develop but if they are never thrown in the deep end how do you know if they can swim?

Throwing them in the deep end is a sure fire way if killing your kids.
You develop them and bring them in when they are ready.
I like Croft a lot but he needs time develop and occasional games.
Apart from Catalan you wouldn't drop Lyne or Tupou for either of the young ones, especially if it's only to give them a game.

No reason this season for us to do the same

| Greensmith is a centre. I think most people would agree he is behind Atkins and Croft in the pecking order. His time will come. It was a winger we desperately needed due to injuries. Putting Greensmith on the wing would be detrimental to his confidence. Look at Croft when he was played out of position on the right wing, or indeed Atkins first game of the season.

If you was placing him in the pack and facing impacts I could understand it but come on how the hell are they going to learn

| OK As his dad I’m going to sound bias, played in an unbeatable junior side that didn’t lose a game for almost 3 years, 2 yorkshire cups, 3 league 1 titles and 2 YJARL challenge cups, at 16 he represented Yorkshire U17’s and at 17 represented Yorkshire U19’s and also represented England U18’s community lions, was picked up by Wakey at 17 when playing for PONTE college v Wakefield college (basically the academy side) and ripped them apart, he’s the same age as senior and is also 6ft 4in not a natural winger but can play there and better than other centres played out of position. Last years CC game v Saints saw the debut of Jack Croft, not sure this is any more of a pressure game than that.

Very frustrating pal told my lad you need to try and take the emotion out of playing for your home club, I think it shows a lack of faith in our own academy if your going to bring in others from other clubs whats the point in doing one

Il give your lad some advice here if he thinks he’s hard some to or things arnt going his way then make them go his way.
Work at his fitness and get as strong and fast as possible and conditioned to last the full 80 and he must work endlessly on his own at his game, trust no one but his family and don’t trust anyone involved in the game, 90 per cent of people in the game can’t lay In bed straight and are not interested. If your after favours from Chester you’ll get none and it’s the same at other clubs he’s only interested in his job. The bitterest pill is hard to swallow, don’t let anyone take it away , single minded and determination

| I say throw a few of kids in cant possibly do any worse than last weekends shenanigans agree might knock confidence a bit but playing in a team that has only won 4 or 5 in last 25 is not exactly a team full of confidence anyway but the experience it will bring will certainly help them
