Can anyone think of a time where we have got it really wrong with a junior product? As in, have we let anyone go prematurely who has gone on to have a great career anywhere else? Or has anyone stayed at Saints stinking the place out for years and years purely because they are "one of our own?" I can't think of any off the top of my head.
My point is I trust our system completely in terms of helping youngsters reach their potential and set them up for long, successful careers. I also trust them in terms of recognising when someone isn't quite going to cut it. Furthermore I also understand that young players sometimes get shifted around to give them experience before settling on a position. I remember Wellens playing at centre, half back and hooker and Roby being on the wing. These things happen.
Fair enough if some people don't rate Welsby all that much. But let's not let the debate turn into the club's record with junior players being questioned because that is just plain stupid.
