Quote ="Alffi_7"Holroyd (& Whitehead) were obviously more highly thought of than Longstaff, its good to see both players getting some gametime. Hopefully as we see more players coming through the system difficult decisions will need to be made on who to retain and who to let go. Only time will tell whether we have made the correct decision in that regard, but we had 4 second rowers at 20 or younger so decisions needed to be made. Longstaff not being here gives a chance of gametime to Holroyd & Whitehead, Powell seems keen to give youth the chance wherever he can - which is pleasing to see.'"
I take your point but Longstaff has shown enough to make me think he is someone we should have in our squad in 2023. The jury would still be out on whether he is a long-term regular but at this stage I'd want to have the option versus two guys with one first-grade appearance between them.
