[QUOTE="brokenoses, post: 868470, member: 72824"] Giving Maunder more game time was the rationale behind what I was saying. With the signing of Nic White, the return of Chudley, Stu Townsend playing his boots off, and Maunder being internationally recognised, there is a real bottleneck in this position. I think it would be a real shame for either of the two young local lads to spend a season on the training ground, so to send one of them to get gametime at a decent level elsewhere seems like a positive thing to do. Given that Townsend is nearly 2 years older than Maunder, I would say that Maunder is the player that would benefit the most from having a season elsewhere. In terms of where this gametime should come from, I don't see any problem with Maunder playing in the Championship or the Mitre 10 (or any other competition of a similar level, not sure what the Currie Cup etc. is like at the moment?). He certainly has the quality to make a real impact overseas and I think he would benefit and grow from having the experience and change in rugby culture, as many young English players would. Redruth, we seem to be saying the same thing with regards to getting Maunder and/or Townsend gametime. Your problem seems to stem from me incorrectly saying that Maunder has previously played in the Championship. In the next post I held my hands up and said it was an ill informed assumption made by me. I don't know why you have pursued this so eagerly but lets just have a real discussion on relevant topics and stop the *** for tat playground stuff. [/QUOTE]
