Re: I thought Ritchie Tambling was ok.
It won't hurt him to have to do this. The younger players should rotate through the senior team. Play a few games in a row and go back to work on their weaknesses. A lot of players have had too many easy games at this club for a very long time.
Raines, Pattison, Polo and Foley had to earn their places, and it didn' t do them any harm. Meyer is having to earn his spot at present.
Replace him with Meyer or Edwards for three games. It is still getting games into the inexperienced group. If he comes back better for the experience, then everyone wins.

Make him earn his spot.
