If he runs out for the first game of the season, he'll have deserved the recall and I'll applaud him along with the rest. We aren't talking 'Claude Davies' bad here, ther HAS to be something GR can work with
Can see where you’re coming from and I wish you could be right.
Unfortunately I don’t believe you can ‘coach’ attitude...not at their age...and that’s what I believe to be wrong with Butterfield and Martin (Shackell too but he’s irrelevant). They’ve got no hunger any more imo.
Whatever else the likes of Keogh and Davies might lack...they go out each week with the right mindset.
