[QUOTE="Goodey, post: 849429, member: 69270"] This doesn't really stack up with the squad that's been picked though. Experienced players that are in our 'vacancies' like Brown, Hartley, Care are all going. Brown is the only fullback on tour, so he's playing 80 minutes in both games. And the players who are getting consistent game time in prem who have been around the squad before, in the 22-25 age range that you normally want to bring through aren't going. People like Taylor, Beaumont, Haley, Robson. Instead they're taking a bunch of under 20s, which is interesting but they are the sort of players who get most of their game time at youth level, and would be doing if they went to the JWC. It seems like the players that are actually 2 years from international class (as oppose to 4-5 years away) are staying put. [/QUOTE]
