| Quote Ferocious Aardvark="Ferocious Aardvark"Excellent post, and something we should all bear in mind. Yes we are on a terrible losing run, but then we do get to watch the likes of these fledgling talents amongst whom there will surely be some big names of the not-too-distant-future. I know there are those who strangely mock the rebuilding process, but just where did Whitehead, Donaldson, Addy, Wardle, etc come from? Plus we have at least George Burgess waiting in the wings for next season. I agree Whitehead is starting to look exceptional, but also I think Kopczak is still progressing. And (a bit exagerrated) but didn't no lesser pundit than Clarke bill Donaldson as potentially the world's best?
I hate losing as much as most people, and the current run of defeats is bad, but watching our young talent isn't.'"
Spot on FA. Watching the youngsters improving is the best bit of being a Bull right now. The more I see of them the more I feel confident of the future.

| Quote DILLIGAF="DILLIGAF"I for one did not think Koppy was going to make it. Even this year he's just not looked as good as many would expect him to be by now considering he's got about 70 first team games under his belt. However, the last couple of games he has really stepped it up and particularly the Hull game, he started to look like he was using his size and really making some yards. If he keeps on like that, he could make it after all. I've certainly got a lot more hope for him in the last couple of weeks than I ever have.'"
Things is he's not had anywhere near 70 first teams games when you look at the number of mins he's been on the field. I often wonder what the point is of having on the field for a couple of 15min stints while Lynch and Scruton run themselves into the ground. It doesn't serve anyone.
It's not surprising that given more gametime he's improved, but this has been a side effect of having to do without Lynch and Scruton due to injury. It's not been part of a some masterplan.
It must be hard for front rowers to get into the game when they're constantly on and off the field but a young kid who's only getting short stints is going to take a lot longer to learn and develop.

| I'm still not convinced by Koppy despite a couple of good games in the last few weeks. He'd need to play well to the end of the year to earn a new deal IMO.

I am completely convinced by Kopczak. I am completely convinced that he ain't very good.

but our super coach only gives him 10min spells... more game time and I am sure he would improve.
The same does not apply to Worlord - he is just not very good (trying to be polite)

Think we were spoiled with the awesome foursome. The sight of Fielden and Baloo on the touch line must have crushed some of the opposition!

| I bet Worrincy's had something like double the amount of mins of the pitch compared to Kopczak.
I do think we need to see him get more game time before making a final decision. That said he does need to pull his finger out and show a bit more oomph in the remaining games. One can be forgiven for thinking Koppy has a touch of the "Chris Feathers" about him.

| Give the lad a break 22 years old is young for a prop. He`s shown good improvement with more game time.
