[QUOTE="LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan), post: 999476, member: 70842"] Not really sure why it would make or break his career quite quickly. I think the trouble is Old Hooker you are comparing Tigers too teams that are successful already. It's easier to bring in younger players in teams that are doing well on the whole. Tigers ATM are rock bottom currently. As said without Covid 2 of those new signings at least wouldn't have changed. outside that the majority of starters who are leaving are Non EQP and not exactly young. and let's be real Exeter chiefs success has nothing to do with English players despite how nice it might sound, it's down to a gameplan that is performed to perfection which funny enough is a similar game plan to Sarries. Premiership rugby has always tended to be more forward and defence focused yes some teams occasionally break the mould Quins for example did, but the teams that win the final have usually all had big packs. It's also another reason why Exeter have struggled in Europe IMO. Also nothing gradual about Saracens success, they literally went from 9th in the league to 3rd in the league the next season getting into the final and winning it the season after. From what I have heard from Tigers, the plan is more a 2/3 year one than a 1 season pray and hope. (And on Tigers academy we have the most amount of academy players in our squad from the whole league). When you look at the my 2 XV's it would go. 1. Genge, 2. Youngs, 3. Cole, 4. Lavanini, 5. Wells, 6. Liebenberg, 7. Taufua, 8. Brink, 9. Youngs, 10. Ford, 11. Nadolo, 12. Scott, 13. Moroni, 14. Van Wyk, 15. Murimurivalu then 1. Leatigaga, 2. Kerr, 3. Heyes, 4. Green, 5. Enever, 6. Lewis, 7. Reffell, 8. Smith, 9. White, 10. Henry, 11. Olowofela, 12. Hardwick, 13. Taute, 14. Potter, 15. Steward So out of the 30 top players 14 would be from the academy currently. [/QUOTE]
