Not sure what the issue is with people thinking he's taking a kids place.
We are so down on numbers that even if Senior plays we'll still be playing Croft.

I see the back line now as

1 Hampshire
2 Senior
3 Atkins
4 Croft
5 Tupou
6 Miller
7 Jowitt

I don't think we have anyone else who could reasonably fill the wing spot with the list we have out.

There's Alex Walker too for FB. They seem very good in the air and utilise that well. I've said before about Hampshire being a victim of his own success of being decent in several positions so he could end up anywhere to help the team. However I'd like to see him get a run at 7 when everyone is fit. Max has done a shift at 1,2,6 as well and I'm not sure where he likes the most now. As a former Albert Goldthorpe winner we know he has what it takes. Senior is a decent player and will hopefully help under that high ball.

Waste of time having an academy

Max didn't win the Albert Goldthorpe medal.

I do understand where you’re coming from but I honestly don’t think your boy or any of them are ready. Not more than a few first team games between them. I know Senior is hardly a seasoned pro but if you’re honest he’s still a fair way ahead.

Don’t get me wrong, if we looked half decent and we were not knee deep in injuries I’d welcome the youngsters getting a run. However at the moment it’s probably a good thing they don’t even if it doesn’t seem like it.

I hope the above is how CC sees it, sadly I can’t quite get the thought that he’s in panic mode out of my head. As I say I’m convinced it’s not the right time to blood youngsters, I’m less convinced that this lad is quite what we need.

We will see soon enough.

Innes is a lot better than green smith

Re: Innes Senior : Wed Aug 19, 2020 9:36 pm  

If you never play the likes of greensmith you will never know how good they are some dont develop until later in their 20s others like andy farrell could play in any team at 16 its just how they progress and develop but if they are never thrown in the deep end how do you know if they can swim?
