Sheens isn't responsible for the ignorance from the likes of Jason Taylor, Justin Pascoe, Kelly Egan and Ivan Cleary surrounding our pathways and junior development. Hartigan began to clean up the mess and Sheens, Noddy and Matt Betsey have fixed it. right now this roster isn't good enough. plain and simple. we have some quality but it's scattered and at varying levels of first grade experience.
the consistent quality that exists sits in the lower grades. the likes of Fonua Pole, Justin Matamua, Michael Tannous, Kitione Kautoga and Lachlan Galvin are all potential superstars. the common denominator? they're all kids. I give it 2-3 years until the majority of the names I just mentioned become regular first graders, and we need to make a clear path for them. that's why we have to be patient.
