if yesterday proved anything it was that 2010 is going to be a rebuilding year and a year of ups and downs, it is a must that we use this year to find out just what our youngsters have to offer.
it is clear that Ben Jones should never be left to defend out wide in the centres he is just too small in this modern day game to be left to defend the monster centres such as Inglis,Hodges,Idris,Folau etc.
this is why it is time to throw Williamson to the wolves he is certainly the subject of much debate thanks to his unbelieveable form showed a couple of years ago in the SG Ball side, since then his development has stalled on the back of injury/suspension and a horrendus coaching team, there is only one way to find out if he has any future in first grade and that is to throw him in and see how he goes, there is no point letting him rot in the NYC as our halves have no idea how to give him early ball to show off is speed and strength.
with Pearce/Carney/Anasta we have the ability to move the ball quickly from side to side and I for one would love to see whether Williamson is pure myth or potential superstar, what have we got to lose, he couldn't be any worse than the crap SKD served up yesterday.
and one final thing Takairangi should not be let anywhere near our first grade side, in his two outings he has shown nothing and it is obvious by the minutes played the coaching staff don't have confidence in his ability.
