[quote="Sacred Cow"]I think though your first paragraph is the crux of the problem. Innes Senior (and his twin brother) are a little ahead of players like Croft & Greensmith but why is that? It’s because they got the first team exposure when Huddersfield had injuries. They didn’t go out picking players out of other teams squads, they backed their own and are now reaping the rewards. And lets be honest the Giants were hardly a team at the top of their game then either. Fact is Senior is more advanced but i believe at least a year younger than both Croft & Greensmith. Obviously different players mature at different rates but this is a recurring theme with us and it is a massive bug bear of mine. It’s always the Jowitts, the Crowthers or the Batchelors of the squad that seem to be the fall guys. It’s a coaches easy way out. He’s proved he doesn’t give then runs in the team when things are going well. He’s proved he doesn’t play them when thing are going badly. When is he going to give them a chance?[/quote]
You are spot on the Seniors,Wardle,Wilson ,Russell,Wood,English,Kirby and Hewitt all have played numerous Super League games due to our injury crisis of last season and the one before. They are all still young men and although we got some pastings it has stood us in good stead moving forward as they can all be called on now to play without any worries about how they are going to perform. The only down side was last season as they were asked to play week in and week out which is no good for lads of their age. I am sure Innes will give you 100% if he is selected he is a good lad. I wish you all the best for the weekend against Catalan I am sure you can put last week behind you and get a result ,Good Luck
