Robert Heatley Stand / Re: List Building - More than one way to skin a cat
Last post by Lods -Mr speaker, I believe the senator is now changing his argument because he doesnt like the Irish lads.
My contention is that we prioritised bringing in young talent in order to pass the proverbial baton from the older guard that might have won us something, in an effort to build a younger layer to the team and prevent us from bottoming out. That group will come good about the time tassie joins (or not).
It puts our recruiting in a different perspective and thats all im aiming for.
Now ive given you a point, what point are you making kruddler?
We've recruited 8 players so far.
3x 18yo's at the draft
22yo
25yo
3x27yo's
=average age 23
We delisted/traded 11 players
3x 21yo
2x 23yo
1x 26yo
1x 27yo
2x 28yo
1x 30yo - Fantasia retiring
1x 32yo - Docherty retiring
=Average age 25
If we exclude the 2 retiring players
=Average age 24.
Given every team gets younger this time of year, i'm not sure we have done anything out of the ordinary.
Personally, i don't see as changing tact at all, or doing anything different to the norm.
TBH, i'm surprised we took as many 'older' players as we did.
It's not so much the age as the make-up of the list...but we did add Smith, O Farrell and the Camporeale's last year
