wasnt this against amateurs in challenge cup

yes, but whats the point in giving someone a chance, if even in the best possible outcome, they get the man of the match, and they still don't play for the club again? would it have hurt to give him a couple more games last season, just in case weve just wasted a quality youngster

Freddie had a lot of work commitments and could not always train.. Its not always black and white

He wasnt exactly standout in the second team either.

Good luck to both players. Bowman never seemed to even get close to the expectations put on him sadly
