Our best first year player? Rohan Marshall. Fair enough. I like him. But we only give the kid a single game.

Just not good enough imo.

Very poor development program.
Long played 2 games, Marshall 1 game and Battle 1 game. That was it for new players wasn't it? White played 3 I think after one last year. Not enough debutantes for a middle of the table (or lower) side. Smacks of Richo playing favourites and not developing the side.
Long played 4 games.
But the impact he had, it was as if he only played 2.

What it smacks of is Richo believing that we were better than what we actually were. Either our kids are terrible or our development program is terrible. Otherwise how do we justify not giving our kids any game time?
Richo was probably in that difficult space between playing finals and development. We were never out of it until quite late, and if you include a real desire to get some of our (soon to be retiring) champions some success i.e. Roo, Monty, Gilbert, Armitage and co then I can understand that development could suffer. Next year would be different, being that most that play will be in the development class
