He is just throwing anyone in there in the hope they will look good. I will put money on it Big Steph would not have started last week if he wasnt picked in the origin camp. He did it because Freddy can see something in him and gives him belief. Thats what most of our guys need.
You mean except the part where Madge already started Stefano in Rd 6-7, 2 months before Origin?
So from round 8 till last week he wasnt good enough but after origin camp he is. I reckon he is making it up as he goes with no clear direction.
It's called giving the kid a spell. Probably don't want to play your junior props in the starting front row every single week of their first full season.
But you'd know of course, being both a highly accredited coach and former rep-level prop.
Sorry for having an opinion mate, i forgot i was on a forum there for a minute. I agree the kid needs a spell every now then. Not disputing that. I just find it funny that he gets picked to start after origin camp. Cant remember what he did in the weeks previous weeks to warrant a starting spot apart from getting picked in the camp. Personally i would be picking him before Tamou every week.
Sorry might have been a bit harsh there in an attempt to be sarcastic.
