Pattison

By my count we have about 9 in that age group. With half that now moving outside the age group (Foley, Raines, Jackson, Schultz - 2003/2ish, pre-Wallace).

Is it worrying that the like the Pies are playing a younger group than us, while we are 'blooding' the like of the Might Cameron 'star' Howat? In the pace of a Edwards type which might be a better long term RFC option

Yes it is , granted it is round 1 and a few of these young players have had injury problems so i will give the benefit of the doubt for now..
We should start to see more younger players in the side soon hopefully starting this week..
I am resigned to the fact that either hyde or tiv will be in this week but if both get in ahead of young players it will be disappointing..

9 vs 10 isn't much of a muchness. We won as well  ;). Last year the Pies went with a more experienced side with about half the number of kids. If they continue to play 10 U22's they'll be tested over the whole 22 rounds as X suggested especially if injuries hit. As for a club being concerned it would be the Dads' Army at Freo with no U22's playing at all  :o.
