That doesn't seem a lot like never seeing someone as being good enough yeh? Marco was injured for a year and then forced his way into the starting line up from the bench. At which point we offered him Terry dollars to stay and he chose Melbourne. So no not a fair point at all.

I'm not sure if that is right is it? From my recollection [and please someone correct me if I'm wrong] Rojas got a starting spot because of injury to someone [Ifill maybe???] and did such a good job RH was forced to keep him playing. It wasn't a case of promoting him on his merits but because he was forced to and then couldn't drop him because he was obviously doing too well. Again, tell me if my recollection is wrong.
