Lol it is hard for some people to grasp. Cronk was one of the best half's ever and debuted at I think it was 25...but Trindall will never be good.even though he is fairly good for his age.
Cronk debuted at 20, and then played 2 full seasons as a bench/depth player before becoming the starting halfback. During those 2 seasons he had games where he wasn't picked, he had games where he played 5 minutes, and he played pretty much everywhere except fullback and prop.Cronk was 21 when he debuted.
I agree with you though, people are too impatient with Tricky.
He also didn't play a rep game at halfback until he was 28. He first played for Qld at 26 but was the bench "utility" for 2 seasons where most times he just came on and played 15-20 minutes at lock.
