That's what Leeds do, they give their juniors a chance.
Duckworth played in a Leeds side that Wake should have beaten this season, he may not be a world beater but he did what he had to do. Builds confidence, makes you want more and to perform even better next time.

You could in theory have a situation where you have developed a number of good young players in a certain position, who are still behind your own established players in that position, but who will not develop as they need to without game time at the required level. Clubs sign the best players they can afford, mostly on a need-now basis, so a lot of young and potentially very good players could fall by the wayside. Better for the good of the player and the game to loan them out and allow them to develop. Some will make it, some won't. In our case, thanks to our Wildcats Academy, those who don't will still have learned something that gives them a profession outside full time rugby league.

Thats been Trinity's problem, they would rather play ineffective seniors players out of position or average to poor imports than give a young lad a chance. Their hand may be forced next year somewhat which may mean they all get a chance at the same time. This could be the making of them or go against them, especially as its relegation year too. The ideal time to develop was over the last 6 years of relative SL safety. Its probably too late now but Wildie, Cowling and Kay ought to be given new contracts. Lee Smith's salary probably pays for at least two of them, I would've let him go.

Different players and different development system.
Just playing them won't automatically make the great.

Not playing them isn't going to make them great either. Besides at this stage we don't need them to be great, just good enough to compete in SL, othet than a Tomkins or a Burgess they're unlikely to be great until their mid to late twenties.
