Rubbish. A few games here and there would have been fine. Playing the majority of the season is another story.

GNR They rushed him, we should have done a better job and worked on his game before we put him into First grade.

If he didn't score that try vs Panthers he wouldn't have been seen until late in the season. Trial form is both a blessing and a curse

very correct

Of course we rushed him. Hence why he played the majority of the season. 5 or 6 would have been fine though.

Im not convinced of that. His debut game last year he looked very strong. I think there was every chance he started the year in the NRL regardless of that trial.

Playing centre was probably ill-advised. Should have started him on the wing in FG.

The injuries to the backline collectively ruined their form and cohesion.

Yeah I reckon that try sealed the deal. And although we can debate what might’ve happened one way or the other I think we can all agree he was not ready to face men of NRL calibre every week.

Very true. I admire the way he kept taking the hits though. He knew he was targeted and getting smashed, yet he didnt shy away from it. Thats the biggest sign for me that he will make it. He needs to be put in the lower grades now until he smashes the door down with consistent strong performances. If they now make him earn his spot by doing that, he will come back ready.

could played off the bench instead of been a starter, yes he got some experiences, he was exposed in defense and his positional player on both sides of the ball showed that.

I've said it before but it really gave me the shits that none of the senior players were coming in with some push and shove to show they cared about him after he was consistently getting whacked.

Adam would be a good fit at the Bulldogs. Maybe a trade for Burton could work.

Nice thought, but I don’t think the Bulldogs would go near him after his antics this season. Ciraldo wouldn’t put up with his BS.

Several times he had to come off for a HIA for a high shot that wasn't penalised too.

Yeah we seem to be the only club that puts up with that.

Thats the story of the Wests Tigets isnt? We never run in to protect our team mates. Drives me mad.

He was 18 going on to 19 rushed into the centre position. No NRL experience.
A very important position defence wise and put there out of necessity at the time. It failed big time.
His current form is poor, possibly a mental hangover.
In hindsight, the wrong decision.
Let's hope there were some lessons learnt so there's no repeats?

Warriors TMM likley to go to November 1. Thoughts?

Wishful thinking I know, but they took Galvin with bigger problems, and Parra were dumb enough to take Luai.
