Latapy know what Theobald can do, he know what Leon and trent can do as well, and we still need to integrate Birchall hopefully for the next rounds.
I do not think Leon, Trent, Theobald are the answers because of their age and the level at which they play. They were unable to land contacts with more competitive leagues.
We need to keep them around and use them now but we need to do so allowing new players to be given a chance
which is what latapy is doing.
he benching Daniel and giving Peletier a run, giving Hector a run etc etc
It is walking a tight rope you connot completely drop the experience men in case we start getting licks, but we need to try youngsters who might be able to take us to heighs the experienced men were not able to.
Latapy has the right approach.
It is not about who start or even who go on tour.
It is about building a squad.
That means 30-40 players both foreign and domestic who can fit into the system and do the job when called upon.
Bleeder can do the Job, 2006 world cup prove that,
That dont mean he should start, what we need to do is to find a man who better than bleeder but keep bleeder as insurance until that man is found.
This is the only approach we can use to ensure improvement over time.
latapy has the correct approach!
