Please, please Trent... Pick Tom Wright

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Would be a better option than Matt Wright.

Please tell me what he brings to the table? Didn't see anything today other than drop ball which cost us points and that Shepard off the ball late on. WTF is that. The refs as bad as they are will eat that crap for breakfast every day of the week.

Safe and steady doesn't work when safe and steady is ****e.

Don't you think if Tom Wright was showing anything near NRL potential he'd already be picked. What could Barrett possibly gain from holding him back if he was showing form ?? The fact that both other Wrights, Parker and Suli have been elevated in front of him tells me that he hasn't been going that great. Anyway he's only got to hold out for one more injury and he'll get his chance.

Barrett wouldn't know potential if it smacked him in the face. He is dumb as dog s@$t. His refusal to promote youth and Hastings is evidence of his lack of football acumen.

Good luck with your debut tonight young man!

3 minutes tops, I reckon. A bit like my sex life on a good night.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Double joy! Tom Wright to debut and Brown knocked off the bench. Normally would say break a leg but I'll stick with all the best.

 

[XV-1]

Good luck with your debut tonight young man!

Yes. All the best for tonight!!

 

[Holmsey]

He better get on the field.

 

[Ryan]

3 minutes tops, I reckon. A bit like my sex life on a good night.

I was out by a minute.

 

[Harvies elbow]

He only had one run and gave away a penalty but that's by far his best game in 1st grade....

You're obviously a stayer, good on you.

 

[Bearfax]

That short experience will do wonders for Tom Wright. He'll move forward from here. He needed that debut to know he's in the mix. Finally made the plunge. Good on you Trent.

He had 3 runs and another bs penalty against Manly.
He is the only Manly player this year that has not lost a first grade game

 

[Boofhead]

We win 100% of games when Tom Wright plays.

 

[Ryan]

You're obviously a stayer, good on you.

On a good night mate. They are few and far between.

Tom only saw about 4 minutes tonight, but I am glad about that. I would prefer him eased into first grade to get confidence rather than bring thrown in the deep end like Lachlan Croker was where his confidence could be shattered in quick time.

I hope Baz persists with him though because even as a virtual rookie I think Tom has a lot more to give as a bench utility than Lewis Brown.
