Among all the doom and gloom, thought this would be interesting.
Fact is, for a pro sport we have a pretty young team.
Seems we are always a year out from a "good" squad but continue to lose players coming through.
With a few senior player movements I think we are set to be able to retain the majority of this bunch.
IF we can keep this group together and inject a couple more in (Scrumhalf for one) then the future is pretty rosey with some decent talent lining up.
The "Under" (Ux) is as of today, hope I got them all correct, but all Under 25 anyway.

"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
That's it, keeping them together is the key Burgs.
Yeah, not a strength in recent times, Luke Jones and Zac Holmes would look pretty good slid in there for example.

Even more so having watched todays match, there are glimpses of what could be.

Maybe that this is a consequence of us losing our academy funding, now our team is our academy.
Agree that the key is keeping them together, the future can then only look better.
How awesome would it be if in a couple of seasons we could be where the Reds are now?!!
Run Forrest, run!!
In Queensland?
