The post was lauding him for playing the kids as if he would've anyway had injuries not forced his hand - if you believe that then you're delusional....
Whether this is down to him or the remnants of the Hardwick regime having too much say in selections we'll find next year when hopefully most of them have been moved on....
This i agree with.
My biggest gripe with him he has continually played horrible underperformers with immunity and i think the injury toll has been a good out for him on this. People are falling for it as well oh look he is playing a lot of kids when the reality is he has set a low standard for seniors and keeps playing them rather than being prepared to cop a hiding and play more kids. Most of the time ignoring kids who are performing in the seconds.
Keep playing so many underperformers at your peril. If not for injuries the whole season is a waste.
He needs to set a standard that is applicable not only to the younger players but to the seniors as well. Imo he has failed abysmally in this so far.
Personally i don't give a poo if we cop our share of beltings just as long as i can see we are actually embracing where we are at.
We have not done that imo not with a lot of our selected teams anyway.
