False. Entirely false. Nobody on here has said anything of the sort. Equating a good youth system with a top tier SL club is madness, players need time to break in and experience around them to learn from. The most successful sides of the modern era have been a good mix of youth and experience.

Yes, we have haven't we? Thanks for the recognition. Hopefully this good mix will start to put some wins together and win the title again this year

Absolutely gutted - Lockyer's been my fave player since he caught a downfield kick one handed in the '97 World Club Championships when Brisbane spanked Saints.

Tbf you lot probably do count 28 as 'youth' when you consider age of 'experience'
