After we lose 5 this year , we won’t have too many left and most of the kids at this stage are below the level of ordinary , I suspect we will have a lot more heartache without these premiership players. Unless we have a better option they will stay on the list to at least look after the kids.
After we lose 5 what vets? including McIntosh. we still have 5 left.
Given the 4 trades we are talking about and the retirements that have already been announced and not including any Delistings as none have been announced we have 26 players aged 23 thr 30 plus. There are plenty and far too many ordinary players left to look after the kids.
I really do not get this kind of thinking.
As it stands right atm with age the criteria our starting 22 would go
Vlastuin 30 - Young 26 - Miller 25
Broad 31 - Balta 25 - Short 29
HRS 23 - Hopper 28 - McIntosh 30
Nankervis 30 - Taranto 27 - Prestia 32
Mansell 24 - Koschitzke 24 - Cumberland 24
MRJ 23 - Lynch 32 - Lefau 26
Dow 23 - Coulthard 23 - Blight 23 - Ryan 24.
EMG OH-B 24 - Colina 25
Most of the 23 plus year olds are below the standard losing one who is 30 won't hurt our kids one little bit.
