Agree
Be nice to give the lad a run out

Re: Hooley : Fri Sep 21, 2018 9:25 pm  

Been playing quite well at Rochdale by all accounts, no reason why he can’t get a run out.

When he gets his chance, he won't be Billy Slater and will make mistakes, plenty over time but it doesn't mean he's not good enough, just like England Knights player Jowitt. People wanted rid of Lynne and Johnstone because 'They were garbage'. Patience and support goes along way!

He'll get his chance in preseason.
Now isn't his time.
Grix injured Max plays.

Probably because on his first mistake he's dropped!
IMO that's not the way to develop a player. The top clubs don't drop young talent because of a mistake, they're given encouragement on the field.
I remember Gelling playing at Wigan and I thought why are Wigan persevering with this kid-he made error after error but they did and he turned out to be a good player.

Maybe a good call in giving him a chance, and has to be given one at some point.

You need to be patient with the kids, as they need time to grow in confidence and stature. TJ did make a few errors at the start of how career, as will have others.

An example of being patient with a player is Reece Lyne, and also the ex Australian cricketer Steve Waugh, one of the finest batters of all time, but has stats in his first 20-30 tests were pretty average
