You need a set number of senior players in the team otherwise our cubs will get literally physically and mentally smashed. It doesn't help their development playing in sides that get pumped.
I still don't understand why "experts" target our forwards as the problem and that includes Richo. It's not as though we're pumping the ball inside 50 more times than the opposition and wasting our opportunites. Games are won in the centre and we're getting flogged in the middle. You could have Ablett, Dunstall and Lockett in our forward line and it would hardly make a difference.
