I agree.

I think you have to give them a crack when they're ready as much as when they're required. If he progresses rapidly then great. But if you're anticipating pain then that suggests to me that you're not that confident. I'm not convinced by the SmokeyTA-esque argument that the quickest path to success is sending lambs to the slaughter so they become lions. You just get covered in blood and wool that way. Rovers colours at least.
Where was I? Ah, Marsh - couple of games here and there, more if he's ace, no problem. Relying on him if he's not ace and Kelly is out for 10 weeks injured - not so good.

Not from me, good signing this. Bit of a hero of mine given his Matai bashing.

Wasn't it just one punch flush on the chin that stunned him for a second before he came back at him ?

crud signing.bit of a pudding and I haven't used pudding since roy holdstock.

Not even when describing Hutch Maiava?

There were no words to describe him, apart from UGH!!!

Matai's legs buckled and he drew blood, good enough for me. I ing hate Manly and anyone that wants to slap a player of theirs is ok by me.

I remember Roy stuffing FC on more then one occasion.

You're absolutely appalling at this.

I suppose the 70 odd first team appearances at a relatively young age for a prop, and 2 potential NRL suitors supposedly interested in signing him absolutely backs up your argument of a crud signing there me old china
