Quote: Khlav Kalash "How much experience does Lyne, Molloy and Briscoe have? Hasn't Matt Ryan only played 30 NRL games? Siejka has played less than 10. The experience argument is a red herring.'"
Every sport evolves around success and how best to achieve it. You look at Manchester United how many players do they have from their own youth development. I would consider a player that has only played 4 first grade games in the NRL to be far more experienced than a player with a similar number of games in SL.
None of us attend training or are involved so how do any of us know how each player compares with the next. If we still had a reserve grade then we could better judge a player's ability and it would allow them to stay within the club's programme.
The bottom line is we can all have our opinions but it is a leisure facility for us and a means of living for the coaching staff therefore they must go with the best team available each week.
