I think you can get away with youth in some postions but I highly doubt a pack of 22yr old kids would do anything.
Next year we will have a oldish pack with perry, Laffranchi, TP, Manu all over 31 but we also have sia, wilkin, flanagahan, clough, Magennis, roby, LMS, Forster, greenwood all under the age of 30.
It's not like we've only got old forwards.
Same with the backs, we will have only wello, Ade and hohaia over the age of 30 and the likes of swift, foster, makinson, wheeler, jones, turner, Gaskell lomax that are young.
IMO its a good balance.
