The 'outs' don't have any of that at present.
Can't believe people talk about blooding youngsters to give them game time and then want Williamson dropped. At 22 and very little game time over the past 2 seasons due to injury, he needs to play. His only real weaknesses are a lack of telling Jones what to do during game time and having no right foot. So play him over the next 3 weeks and then over the preseason he is only to kick using his right foot. If he plays next year not being able to kick with his right foot then I will be on the "drop him" bandwagon.
In all fairness, CC1961 started a thread about making the finals, and made it clear he wanted to pick teams to win whilst it is a possibility, and never mentioned anything about blooding youngsters. Have a look.
Its not about lacking faith in Willo to make it.
But why should Williamson be the only one to try out at HB in the seniors?
Williamson has played every game since Newman got injured.
Its not like Willo has missed out on opportunity or dropped for his mistakes.
All kids make mistakes. Williamson has made plenty.
Why not let another kid have a shot to show their wares, make as many mistakes and we can get a better idea of our list and our future?
I just want to see others before the season is out, just not all of them in at the same time.
I know what Willo offers, and i know some of the areas he needs to work on too.
OBrien, for eg, was a giffted HB with an amazing left peg. See the write up on him before being drafted.
Now, compare that with Williamson's Profile. Both have weapons, but OBrien was obviously rated higher prior tp the draft and on draft day: (Top 10 vs Pick 60)
OBrien hasn't been tried at HB. I think he should be.
I ask you, is there a problem with wanting to see OBrien tried at HB? Nothing personal.
I hope that answers your question.
