Or does doing that leave us open to having our rookies taken by someone else if they are playing well?
If our rookies are performing, than i would imagine that we would take them automatically.
With the retirements of Grant and Monty. And the possibility not all of DMAC, Faulkner and Skipper will make it. Than that lends to the idea that well have a few spots open up at the end of the year, and put us in position to promote any of our rookies.
But you must also remember re: Hughes and Harbrow. None of the 16 teams took them in the ND or PSD, and were looked over by pretty well every other club in the RD. There must have been an obvious reason, so i have faith Clayton and Eade got it right. And from training reports, i hope the boys can mix it up at the Bees and push for elevation.
