Its a bit of a shame to see Skolars doing so badly, because as has been said its great to see young southern lads getting plenty of gametime, and so many of them but a smattering of quality here and there would give a young team so much more.
It has been a gamble that has not paid off. Recruiting players from Conference league to play in Champ 1 is not a very bright start.
I reckon Smokie, Jars and Andre will become better players in time but in order to become a better player, you need the right players around you to learn from.
These type of seasons can wreak a player.
Skolars do not have that atm. They do not have the experience or talent to draw from to teach these young kids how to play semi-pro footy.
Mind you, those 3 boys are, I think- correct me if i am wrong, some of the first to come through from the Skolars juniors to play 1st team footy.
The club needs to start recruiting for next year in the next month or so to understand where they need to stregthen in their squad.
I reckon a complete over hual is needed. Big props, big centres and a good 5/8. I would also recruit a good lock and Fullback.

It's a shame as I bet the Skolars have the highest percentage of local lads in the team of ANY Championship club.
