it's a tricky game coaching, you need immediate results but the current players aren't performing, you can't afford to invest time in a youngster who is a slow developer and if you ignore the young players you could miss one who could step up.
Our record in being able to manage young players has been a disaster. We either give them an opportuity at the wrong time ie against AB's or we ignore them and they go overseas and perform well. We see too many players being developed in Europe and never coming back. At least Jack Maddocks said he was a proud aussie who would play for his country again but doubted he'd be called on.
