Do you expect the the club to keep all our half backs like Smith, Hampshire, Powell, Williams, Sharrock, Doran and others coming from the Under 16's.Wandering Warrior wrote:A reasonable comment but never the less as a further example, what if one of the young half backs go, the great philosophy is again thrown out of the window!?Whelley Warrior wrote:Any different than Hargreaves, O'Carroll, Spencer etc?Wandering Warrior wrote:All the logic of bringing young lads through will unravel if players like Sutton go, and will furthermore show the spin is bs!
All consider to be good props, but were released as we can't keep them all, only the ones that the club think are better.
Just a differing view!
We can't keep them all, hence examples like Mellor at Widnes, Leatherbarrow at Batley.
The same applies to all positions when we have so many quality young players. We pick out the best and allow others to leave. Having said that the club does make the odd mistake like Matty Russell and we all now know the reason for that mistake. A certain player choosing to go down under and another being the son of a former famous player being higher in the pecking order but since has not progressed as expected.
