Yep, well I hate to say it, but it's a year on and we have basically the same team - just add Ryan James for Bateman, making us older.
If we line up with something like this in round 1, our average age is 26.7, ranking top 4 last season. Also, most of the teams around us last year had a bunch of players retire or leave (Graham, Cooper, Smith, Aubusson, Marshall, Lawrence, Blair, Bukuya, McQueen). We didn't.
1 Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad (25)
2 Bailey Simonsson (23)
3 Matthew Timoko (21)
4 Curtis Scott (23)
5 Jordan Rapana (31)
6 Jack Wighton (28)
7 George Williams (26)
8 Josh Papalii (28)
9 Josh Hodgson (31)
10 Dunamis Lui (31)
11 Hudson Young (22)
12 Elliott Whitehead (31)
13 Joseph Tapine (26)
14 Tom Starling (22)
15 Ryan James (29)
16 Emre Guler (23)
17 Sia Soliola (34)
If Croker replaces Timoko it's 27.2, older than any team last year.
Either way, it clearly makes us one of the oldest teams in the NRL.
