Staines was in the team when he perforated his bowel.
He then returned for a single game in reserves following an extended lay off and then immediately jettisoned into the starting side the following week.
How is that not 'showing respect' in terms of selection?
Additionally, when is it the role of the head coach to 'show respect' with who he selects each week?
Weird take.
It's professional sport and players like Staines who are trying to establish themselves shouldn't have any expectations of being gifted marquee spots in the team.
