Take the chances when you get them, I wouldn't have thought Matt Davis would get 17 matches this year.

Plenty of time on Matty Ashton's side, he's only just turned 21.

Exactly, Davis has been great value & I wouldn’t of expected him to play so many games but he’s been consistently good for us. Just shows you the gulf between Championship & SL level rugby isn’t exactly lightyears away. A player with the talent and the right attitude can go a long way (Walmsley/Hill/Bullock).

I’m hopefully he gets his opportunities on the wing when the time is right, he has the one thing you can’t learn or teach and that’s raw natural pace. A lot of watchers of the Championship rate him very highly.

Scored a good try against us at their place a couple of months ago but cant remember much more as I think he went off injured. Highly thought of in the Championship. Good luck to him! Hope it goes well

Not read the entire thread, but where does he fit in if charnley and lineham are fit? Not many top SL sides will give him that much space to run anyway.

In a healthy squad, the 2 players out of the 3 showing the best form get the shirts and if they play well then they keep them, if they have a poor match then we have an able replacement on the bench desperate to get the shirt. It doesn't always happen like that but it's always good to have competition for places.

Thanks for explaining basic coaching/team selection to me!
