WAKEFIELD v ST HELENS

Quote: vastman "Thought that myself, yet Agar is expected to keep giving Wildie (substitute for which ever player is being obsessed about) a chance after 20+ SL games in which he's shown no more promise than Ryan in 5 and way less than Godinet in 5.

I'm all for giving the Academy lads a chance but surely anyone can see Godinet has played ver well in 4 from 5 - the only player from the "try scorer" youth who I can think of who has had anything close to than impact is Anakin - the others like it or not are nowhere near.

If Harry plays and he's gash then I would expect to see him get another chance and then if he isn't the real deal Wildie gets his spot back. However for now any NRL contracted player haas to be considered as better than a fringe player at a SL club and Agar would be committing a serious dereliction of his duty if he didn't at least try him out - surely that is obvious.

Where it would be wrong is if he persisted with a rubbish Aussie and ignored a better British player - but we don't know that do we.

If Harry ends up being another Aussie gem then my message to Wildie is watch, learn and become as good - isn't that how its always worked.'"

Disagree that Wildie hasn't shown promise. The only time he has ever got a run of games was in 2011 when he won awards at the end of season ceremony for his performances. He looked like he was going to be the real deal. Since then he has never had a proper go, getting 20 mins here and there, usually against a wigan or saints away when others have been rested. I really don't think he has had a fair go and after two perfectly good performances in the last two games he has been dumped again. I just don't think he had done anything to deserved losing his place.

I'm not for picking the kids regardless, many, like Trout haven't proved they don't deserve a place over others. But neither for me has Siejka over Wildie. I suppose though it is easier to drop the local lad.
