Ha! I was waiting for that.
I know that no-one has said exactly HTFU, but expecting total beginners to stand a chance of getting anywhere near the ball, when playing against some of the best players in the country is pretty much the same thing.
I know that everyone is conscious of the need to encourage fellow players, especially when they are struggling, but with rookies, giving them a little bit (or preferably a lot) of the ball is probably more useful.
