Rotation over a season-long slog through pointless league games is utterly essential to rest players and give youngsters gametime - one of the things that has annoyed me most about Rush has been his dogged attachment to exactly the same 17 every single game all season long barring injuries. However, there's no doubt whatsoever that the way Royce went about rotating players was baffling to say the very least. And don't get me started again on the barmy 5 minute runout from the back on the bench policy...
Totally agree with all that, games shouid be hand picked to introduce youngsters to the the super league but these youngsters have to be ready to step up, no point in picking kids who ain't ready yet.
I still don't understand Simmons idea of rotating/resting wingers and picking the sane forwards most weeks.
Gaskell shouid have been given more game time this year and I also think greenwood, Forster and swift could possibly played more Games.
IMO Dixon has played well this year when called on and could possibly be a Little frustrated he didn't get more starts.
