I missed that nuance.
But some folk regard anyone 'young' as being developed through our Academy.
And there is no doubt that now we can afford to recruit [example] Schwartau and McConville, the likes of Myles and Hills are going to find it much more difficult to break through.
Would Lewis have emerged if he had been up against Mahovo for that one LB spot? Ditto Aarons/Fisher.
It isn't as simple as just being good enough. Some players need exposure to the higher levels to reach their potential.
