Yeah I know.... that old chestnut.
It's been really good to see the likes of the Fainga'a brothers and Rod Davies show this year that they really do belong in S14. Up until this year, most of us wrote them off as useless and not up to it. Now punters are suggesting them as possibilites for higher honours (2010 Wallabies thread).They are very lucky to have had a year to go on contract or they would more than likely have been forever banished to clubland. From what I understand Will Genia was a bees dick from not having his Reds contract renewed at one point. Now he's the toast of the rugby world and 'the next best thing'.
They're the lucky guys.
Pete Betham has already been discarded by the Brumbies at the age of 21. A year on and given a semi lifeline by the Tahs, his form is suggesting that maybe all he needed was time. Hope he gets a second chance at the rebels and makes good.
How many other talented young players are lost to elite rugby just because they were too young and weren't ready when opportunity presented?
