Personally I'd rather my half backs try some plays than just fill a shirt. If it don't come off at least you have made the opposition scramble to defend something.

Exactly.
I, like others on here, was advocating he was taken out of the firing line for a few games when we went pearshaped at the start of the season. But only a few games. Clearly something else is going on at the club and the line that has now been trotted out by Rush and Tommy Martin (an almost word for word repeat) and doesn't wash with anyone. To state that a player who played two thirds of a season including knock out games, sometimes really tough games and a Grand Final is 'learning his trade' in the u20s is garbage. After being in a GF, a player is going to learn zip in the u20s.
