It is frustrating no-one saw the potential and instead we persisted with guys who weren't up to that level (Lynn, Battye). He didn't necessarily have to be rushed into the side but offered a contract and/or looked at options for getting him game time while staying in the fold (loaned to Japan maybe?).
