Potential to perform now and in the future would be fair to say.
I think the practice league thing is a good way to put it. Looks like we're picking teams based on how well players perform in training and lower grades, not on their contracts or future potential. That competition seems to be working. For Kennedy at least. Maybe even Williams and Woods (who needs to prove he's worthy of a contract somewhere)
You don't get played because you're on a big contract and have done good stuff in the past (Fifi, Chad) and you don't get played because you
might be in the side next year or a handful of people on the internet reckon you play exciting eyes up football because sometimes you don't read the situation fast enough so you have to run, or sometimes you pass the ball to the man outside you who is already running a good line.
Trindall hasn't shown anything nearly good enough yet (publicly) that he deserves a special ball cupping by the coach and to be given opportunities other people are apparently beating him out for.
The jersey for this weekend was there for the taking, if Trindall hasn't done enough to earn it then that is on him. Tracey seemingly has so he gets a good chance to show if he can handle it or not, if he ****s it up maybe Trindall can keep working hard and get the next one.
