I wish we could keep him either on the bench or in reserves till he is 21.
Seriously the NRL need to limit game time for under 20's their bodies are still growing and forming. Do we really need more Alex McKinnon's or Simon Dwyer's!
Honestly restrict them to 20 minute game time or just reserve grade only. Let our superstars make it to superstardom.
Seriously? Mckinnon was a freak accident and as was Dwyer. Had nothing to do with the age they debuted.
Agree with you Milky - Million to one what happened to Dwyer.
Mckinnon, well that would have happened to a 45 year old put in the position. Age played no part in those injuries.
As for, only give then 20 minutes is a ridiculous suggestion - these injuries can happen in one minute, 20 minutes or 80 minutes of a game or do you only leave them out for the minute they are going to get injured.
