Everyone keeps saying play the kids play the kids but we can't play a whole team of kids they will get smashed just like Sunday night!! We need a core group of senior players who the kids can play around & get the experience while the senior players take the hits if you like!! I know the problem is our senior players are either injured or struggling for form bit of a dilemma? In the 2's currently there is Tivendale Bowden Krakouer Kingsley & out injured Brown Coughlan Simmonds & Knobal of the experienced guys so if we were to bring in Riewoldt Conners Edwards Casserley etc for other experienced guys expect another caining what to do?
 
I remember when the saints had a similar problem under the fat controller about 5 years ago. He set up a super flood, knowing it would mean another defeat but at least it would minimise the carnage and keep the kids morale up.

OTH, it hasn't won them a premiership.
 
I agree that you need a mix of both senior and youth on the field.

I'd like to see Riewoldt & Edwards both in the team.
