No room for T Wright

[eagerbeaver]

Off course its only 2 games into the season, but from what we have seen particularly from Brian Kelly and Lachie Croker, and to a lesser extent Brad Parker, where does this leave Tom Wright in the puzzle both short and long term?
I must admit i was one advocating for his inclusion in round one (in centres), but in hindsight cant fault T Baz's selections - albeit probably should have had Parker for M Wright last week.
Injuries, suspension and form do play their part in a long season, but my gut feeling is a precocious talent like Tom Wright isn't the type happy to bide his time in reserves..
Can someone remind me how long he is signed for? Not that it matters much these days..

He will be picked for 1st grade when he plays well enough

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

It is a very long season. He'll get a shot at NRL this year (and is good enough to seize his chance).

 

[manlyfan76]

Well he helped blacktown win 46-0 today.

 

[eaglebuzz]

Injuries will probably see him let in at some point.

So your saying there is no need for depth.

Some people are short and long sighted man. There needs to be a spectacle button on Silvertails.

Later in the year most likely if he is going well.

Be silly not to blood him for 2 or 3 games to show him what he needs to work on next off season.

 

[winnyason]

It’s one game - Dylan may get a overs deal and leave at end of 19. He in our plans let’s not panic.

 

[40 years an eagle]

He is exactly where he should/needs to be right now.
He is not ready yet, but his time will definitely come soon enough.

 

[Eagles4Life]

He's in the right place, right now. By rights, he could rightfully have a spot in the 17, sometime this season. Right now I am on the Blue Label Johnnie Walker, where Wright ends up is not really my concern "Wright now". 54 NIL Parramatta. How good is that ****.

 

[Class of 96]

Plenty of time for Tom to toughen up in the reserves. We have another game against Parra, so perfect time to blood some kids.

 

[HoldenV8]

Look, the reality is that we aren't going to win that easily every week. We'd like to, but its just not going to happen.

Its a long season and I am sure with injuries, Origin and form then Tom Wright and a few others currently playing for Blacktown will get a go at first grade at some point this year.

Drunk posting on Silvertails. Move along. Nothing to see here.

To win a premiership you need to be able to get away with just using less then 25 different players in the year. Some clubs (that do poorly) use over 30. If we are great, will Tom make ,say, the top 25? He will get his chance.

 

[Bearfax]

Tom Wright will get his chance. He's too good for the reserves, just as Hastings is too good for the reserves. Both must find a place in the first grade team at some stage or we will lose them. Both have the X factor that wins you games. In the present first grade side only Tom T. Jake T., DCE and Kelly have that quality. Walker had it and may still have it...a wait and see game there. Others may develop it and I'm thinking of Fainu there. Koriosau is close but his value is sheer work load.

Haha we've all been there

Blue Label?

Nice. A bit expensive to just be drinking and posting on here isn't it?!?!?

Fortunately Tom is still contracted into 2019 so still time and opportunities to determine if he can find a spot in a Manly i st grade side and of course just where is going to be the question . Not often a player with Phil Blake type attributes and potential comes onto the scene for Manly but also not often when talented back line players like Parker , Kelly , Tom Wright and Jade Anderson are available for limited positions also at the one time for Manly . However would still not think that Kelly and even Hastings offer X factors , good and even improved players in their own right [ and Kelly has started the season really well ] but X factors are surely for players who can really make a difference .
