Quote knockersbumpMKII="knockersbumpMKII"If we sign another back then that's Crooks pretty done for isn't it?
I'd rather have a prop/solid second rower in the squad than another ex-international taking an absurb wedge from our cap. So much for building up the side around young/British/local talent.'"
Plenty of evidence that's exactly what we're trying to do IMO.
The following will likely get game time next year:
Young/local
Shaul
Lancaster (maybe)
Logan
Cunningham
Green
Bowden
Hadley
Turgut
Bobby Tyson Wilson
Harry Tyson Wilson
Abdull
Dean
Young (under 25) and British
Westerman
Watts
Lineham
Sneyd
Thompson
Crooks
Young (under 25) and overseas
Rankin
Old (over 25) and local
Houghton
Yeaman
Old (over25) and British
Whiting
Pryce
Ellis
Old (over 25) and overseas
Michaels
Feka
Paea
Minichiello
Talanoa
Sa
Of course, only Feka (who's been great) and Mini are overseas and over 30. So much for the urban myth we're an Aussie retirement home.
