PUNT ROAD END | Richmond Tigers Forum
There's been a heap of hype in the last two years about our list transformation and all the young guns (and 'duds'!) that we have coming through the system at Punt Road. But did anyone notice our senior 18 starting on the ground tonite only includes four genuine youngsters (ie Tambling, Lids, Shultz & Raines).
I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but what it does show is that we seem to have quite a conservative selection policy to start the year (or maybe full stop?)
As the injuries inevitably come to our older players the youngies will be given their chance, but i think they'll have to wait their turn and hopefully this will make them even hungrier (see Raines story for eg.)
Go Meyer, Harts , Roach etc. Bust your gut now coz your still behind chaff, Hyde, Hall and Knob in the queue. they'll either fade away or work hard to prove themselves, and if they have the right attitude, this situation could be paying dividends for years to come, just like the Hawks teams of the 80's where everyone had to serve their apprenticeship.
