Remember a certain Roger Millward, made his debut at 16 years of age. Transfered to Hull KR at 18 years of age, at 20 years of age he was the leading points scorer for KR, helping them win the Yorkshire Cup, also made debut for Great Britain at 17. Obviously not at his peak , but shows what can be achieved at an early age. Malcolm Reilly was only just turned 20 when winning his first Challenge Cup medal. Age is no barrier in sport as long as they are good enough.
Peak suggests you’re at the top and then it’s all down hill... people develop at different rates... the fact you pull Millward out the archives shows that being at the top of your game at young age is the exception not the rule.

Trueman is good, he has a lot to do in a team that changes week in week out. I’d like to see him rested but by no means think he should be out of the team long term.
This is what the Forum is about, peoples opinions. As you will have noticed, I didn't say either of those two didn't peak at a young age, but both commanded respect at a young age. As did Lee Crooks, Shaun Edwards, the list is long. That's why I feel sorry for Jake, those I mentioned had experience around them, he hasn't anyone on the pitch to help him, and he looks lost at times.
He is a victim of circumstance this year, for sure. He would be completely different had we fielded a consistent team this year.

Peaking? Don’t talk daft. But he should be developing and due to over-exposure this season he isn’t doing. Time for him to have a break.

How impressed have you been with Trueman this season? Your whole argument could be turned on it’s head and the same questions asked about Jake. I’m sure you’d see a different Jordan Rankin, with our strongest 17 out, not forgetting that Rankin joined the club only a week or so before the season started. I think Trueman needs to be taken out of the firing line and given time to rest and reflect. Give Aston and Rankin a run at 6 and 7, can’t be any worse creatively than we’ve been

Saints did it with Richardson.
Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.
Definitely give Aston/Rankin a try could always stick trueman on the bench, not ideal like.
But the lad is just not performing.

No it's not ,I don't agree with kick up the backside because he was thrown in the squad early,but rankin has more experience and if you are gona swop a player for him and you have no confidence in him then that's another bad deal cas have done.

It’s simple, just a case of using proxies.
It’s what sent the RLFans forum into a decline - one or two posters creating multiple accounts to support themselves.
Sometimes, they even forget to log in as an alias and do actually agree with themselves.
Not saying it’s the case here, but it’s very straightforward.

The use of actual punctuation suggests this isn’t flow. There are apostrophes, commas and full stops in here.

Erm, no, I said that it’s easy to do. Anyone could run multiple accounts on here.

For the first time, I actually agree with Flow in that Trueman has stagnated a bit. I would rest him for Leeds and go with Aston & another - I'm not convinced by Rankin's defence at all, and Peanut has had his best games for us in the halves. Would it be worth trying Rankin at the back where we could utilise his speed like a Luke Dorn type full back? And play Peanut in the halves.

One thing is for sure, Mata'utia shouldn't be taking kick offs anymore :lol:
