I have already stated that Polson should do a stint in the VFL, but I wouldn't be bringing Cuners in until he has had at least one run in the VFL
Cuners is and will be best 22, no need to rush that, for him or the team
How exactly does the term 'rushed' come into the things?
Cuningham played the first game this year (22 possessions) after a terrific pre-season and JLT series.
Cuningham had a training mishap that has kept him out of playing for the following 4 weeks, yet has been in full training, with us being extra cautious.
Cuningham is clearly a better prospect than some that are currently playing in the role he fared so well in, through the pre-season.
So, it seems to me the only real factor that should come into the equation is; How many weeks not playing, before having to come back via the NB's ?
Again, I can understand if the MC choose to go with a 'No Change' for the Hawks match, if they deem that team being the best squad for match-ups.
What I don't is why players that are clearly ready wouldn't be considered for senior selection because it may be seen to be 'rushing' them.
