Quote: Coxy127 "A few class players in key positions with a rotation of U19's/20's isn't beyond the realm of possibility.
But could they compete at SL level?
If they couldn't how long would it be before the fans turned on them!?
There isn't a 20/23's next year so there is every possibility this scenario may develope.
Your thoughts?'"
Fully agree. I do envisage us playing the youngsters - and I also see us getting battered on more than one occasion. Though that isn't any different to this year is it?
Would personally (and I know I'm probably in the minority) like to see the youngsters get a go at SL level for the year. Gives them a chance to prove themselves and if all goes wrong, we lose all the games, some might have stepped up and gained an understanding of what it takes at the top level..... or some might have impressed (become the new Sam Tomkins) and get themselves a contract with another side (not that we want to lose players).
Plus utilising U19/20 players will be a darn sight cheaper than buying in experienced journey-men that we know (from previous years) can't hack SL themselves. Would rather see youngsters from London/SE given a shot to make a mark than an old horse that is collecting a pension.
Those be my thoughts..
