Olbi has had a couple of bad games and was rightly dropped over it. But a couple of bad matches don't negate the great work he was doing before that. There's a reason he was keeping his place in the team and forcing the likes of Bateman to the bench.
He's quality and young. Don't let a little bit of bad form dominate the thinking.
It's good to see the young players being supported imo, let's get a few more of them tied up. On the face of it, going with what FC said at the forum, our only chance of a 'truly outstanding' player at the club over the next couple of years is if one emerges from the current crop of younger lads. The promise is there so let's hope they kick on with their development since, if one were to do so, it would be a tremendous boost for the club.
Good news I reckon. We need to be holding onto our young lads and developing them, not just cast them off after a few poor games. He still has plenty of improvement in him but he works hard and I think he'll make a good SL back rower with time.
