[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 882112, member: 13611"] This is where we differ. I'm all in favour for promoting top level young talent like Andrew Porter, James Ryan, Max Deegan and Jordan Larmour as is being done this season. From the academy, Jack Aungier, Hugh O'Sullivan, Caelan Doris, Ronan Kelleher and Tommy O'Brien fall into the same category of players who could be fast tracked as high end talents in the next 12-24 months. Jack Kelly could reach that level too. I don't see Hugo Keenan, Ian Fitzpatrick or Terry Kennedy hitting that level. Those are the players Dave Kearney and Fergus McFadden are trying to fend off. If I were a betting man, I'd say it's more likely that Kearney and McFadden are fighting for one contract than both of them fighting to hold off unproven rookies. In short, absolutely back the young player who you believe has a high probability of being a major contributor. I'd be wary of backing anyone who you're unsure about. Go with the proven commodity. Cost savings can be made elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
