That's not the way it works, gifting guys opportunities they don't deserve. Or at least I hope meritocracy is a thing again.

People say this kind of thing a lot, and I don't disagree. But I think a distinction needs to be made.
I agree that you can't just gift guys a job. And gifting jobs is something we regularly see up north.
But at the same time, I think it is important to give guys an opportunity to succeed. It doesn't mean give them the job, it means give them a chance. Put them in a position to succeed and see if they can run with it. Give them some time with better line mates, give them some PP time, or whatever. And see what they can do.
Watching Mangiapane get 8 minutes a night on the 4th line last year was completely pointless IMO.
