Mate GW became a regular when he was 19 years old. Smith will be 20 come January. There’s no reason whatsoever to not have him make the step up. I don’t get this age argument.
It’s either him, Sammut or Tommy.
Or French.
What about the likes of
Joel Tomkins
Lee Mossop
Oliver Gildart
Josh Charnley
Dom Crosby
Liam Farrell
Darrell Goulding
Ryan Sutton
To name a few...
Who all went on loan/dual reg then later became first team players, it served their development very well.
I say this.. it's crazy to give a player who's had such little game time at top level a starting half position. How can anyone say he can lead a team week in week out on what we've currently seen of him is beyond me.
And Williams; he made 2 starts and 1 sub appearance in 2013 then 13 starts and and 10 sub appearances in 2014 when Green and Matty Smith were are starting halfbacks.
Hardly thrown into the deep end is it. Nothing like what you're suggesting for Harry Smith.
