[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1070556, member: 73144"] Sometimes I think we are way over cautious in the way we introduce players and sometimes too cavalier. A lot depends on the individual player. Smith doesn’t need wet nursing, all he needs is the freedom to do what’s got him selected in the first place with the acceptance that will come with a few mistakes. He’s already been in the public eye for years as the golden boy, has several club seasons under his belt and has experienced a bit of rough and smooth with Quins. As far as I can see his head doesn’t drop too badly when he does make mistakes. He is the future and should have been involved earlier. Someone like Bailey is an entirely different proposition.
