Most of the club players hold down jobs as well as play rugby and advance warning for their employers and themselves would have been one of the considerations when putting a team together, also no matter how well they were playing could the commit eight weeks to the team.
This comp has always been about giving as many club players a chance to put their hands up for higher honours not winning although that would be nice.
This comp was to give more time to Burton and Koteka, but injuries have brought Jooste on earlier than expected but with year 12 exams under way shortly he cannot commit full time, so not sure about being told when players will come on play is fair maybe which week they were likley to get a go.
Brad Lacey had a chance for two weeks and did not show, yet Daley and Onehunga took their opportunities last week and were noticed.
This comp is for the greater good of the Future of the Force and not the here and now.
I will be on the hill again this week shouting for the boys irrespective who is picked.
Tai I am behind you and your team, go the Spirit
