I'm all for developing young talent for the future but this is a bit absurd. What's the definition of insanity? "Trying the same thing over and over again but expecting different results"? Obviously it's painful to watch the Warriors right now given the diabolical state of the club, but I would be more willing to defend the team if Brown actually tried something
different. The results are far from what everyone wants, so why do we keep doing the same thing? By all means have faith in the players, but they have to earn the right to be on an NRL field first. I'm sorry to say, at the moment,
Berry and
Pompey don't deserve a shirt. And
Harris is a nice, ball-playing loose yet for some reason he finds himself on the edge with
Murchie of all people taking the 13. I think I'm quite indifferent towards
Murchie, but I'm sure he's not a better 13 than
Harris. And if he can't play on the edge, then
Sironen or
Katoa can do it - granted they're both good for a few errors a game, but if we're gonna develop players I think
Katoa probably shows more promise than
Berry or
Pompey at this present time. Fundamentally, I believe we have reached a point where Brown should walk us through why he has chosen the team from 1-18. I want to understand why certain players are omitted and others get the nod. I want to understand why tactics aren't changing every week. I want to understand what he hopes they will achieve.
It can get very frustrating at times.
