@jirskyr said:I don't think it's such a big gamble. Against arguably the worst team in the comp at the moment, why not give the kid a shot?
The only other forseeable options were Lawrence FB / Collis C or Morris HB, the latter which everyone complained about for weeks and weeks and weeks.
So either way it's a gamble when one of your core attacking positions is weakened through injury.
If Lui cannot manage, we can switch Moltzen to half in attack and defend fullback, kind of like he did last week.

it's a gamble because we only get one crack at a team that's struggling, we'll probably win anyway but what happens next week if he's not up to scratch?
We than have to make a decision that could have been done this week and built on for next week.
i suppose what i'm trying to say is that the odds are greater that Lui will work, while leaving Moltzen at halfback we know is a proven winner while we have guys that can play fullback like Hanbury and Lawrence.
It's a gamble, make no mistake, we haven't played the odds on this one. It sort off irritates me because when we should have been blooding guys like Lui and others we were playing the same old squade, now that we should play the odds we're not.
Any way i really hope Lui has a blinder and stars. I've certainly been impresed with him in the under 20's.
@cnx_tigers said:He's potentially a very, very good player. You can see he's class in the TC.
However, despite the fact he looks quite old (he's kind of like the Greg Oden of the Toyota Cup :laughing: ) he is still a kid.
I've also noticed that he is just about always cramped up post game…when the other guys are doing stretching, Robert is normally having his calves massgaed / clearly very tired.
First grade is a big call at this stage...but it is against a very poor Sharks team + Morris is on the bench and can cover things if anytthing dramatic goes wrong. It's a good time to play him.
We've all criticised Tim this season...everyone...but he has done a good job with the youngsters. Moltzen is going to be a star, Ayshford looks the goods and Lui will be an excellent player soon enough. That's 3 top class backs long term.
The Ben Barba example above is a perfect one of a coach NOT putting a young guy in at the right time.
