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.

Re: Critical look at our list
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 classMoods wrote: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?Jacks Back wrote:Long played 2 games, Marshall 1 game and Battle 1 game. That was it for new players wasn't it?
