I thought it was a good decision to play Lyne, if you can't play your young upcoming players against a bottom of the team table when can you? If you are going to stick with the same old every week you'll get the same old every week. It was upto the experienced to ensure Lyne wasn't exposed and at least Whiting passed to him which is more than he would of got from Yeaman. Briscoe has rarely been dropped since starting as a 17 year old, you don't know unless you try.

Agreed.

Excellent post, totally agree

Im not an Agar lover but totally agree with this,
The whole team should take a look at themselves after that performace.

Not wanting to offer any backing for Agar here but I think a few need to look beyond their own hate agenda against our coach.

There was a clammer on here for Lynes inclusion. Agar is damned if he gives a young local kid a chance and damned if he doesn't.

This situation is similar to when Lee and Washbrook were in the academy side and loads wanted them in the first team.

Lyne is 17 years old, a year older than Rich Horne when he made his debut. Horne was thrown in at the deep end, at full back against Leeds. Lyne was given the opportunity against what many saw as lesser opposition. Yes, he made some mistakes, but if anyone thinks Lynes inclusion in the team was the reason for our defeat and see it as an opportunity to slate Agar, then a few need to open their eyes to our glaring issues.
