Quote Rogues Gallery="Rogues Gallery"34 years of age next year. Do you think it's a problem having so many over 30's in the side for next season?
Off the top of my head Hicks, Solomona, Briers, Morley, King, Wood?, Hodgson, Clarke, Higham, Anderson?'"
ive been thinking about this recently and i have come to the conclusion that it is a good thing.
we can see from the under 20's that we have a fair amount of decent young players coming through... this way every one of them has a quality pro to learn their trade off.... these young players aren't having to be rushed into the team when they are not ready... they will come in chomping at the bit and playing the kind of rugby that smith is installing throughout the club.
It is well known that Hodgson is a very good coach of young players as well... which probably played a major role in smith brining him in.. fullback is the only position where we don't have a quality pro for the young candidates to fullback to learn from.
I have no fear for the future of this team in the years to come.
