Message: [QUOTE="scobie, post: 2915085, member: 9428"] Okay so bear with me on this one. I've gone through the league's halves and graded them into a top tier, regarding game control, which seems to be milf's problem, and a tier just a level below the very top guys. I've obviously left out the ones I would regard as average. Name and age: JT 34, Michael Morgan 26, Shaun Johnson 27, Mitchell Pearce 28 DCE 29 Gareth Widdop 28 Cooper Cronk 34 Kieran Foran 27 James Maloney 31 Nathan Cleary 20 A case could also be made for Corey Norman 27 Adam Reynolds 27 Ben Hunt 27 Blake Green 31 Average age is 28.2 Now look at a few playmakers who are under massive pressure to start leading their team around. Anthony Milford 23 Ashley Taylor 22 Kane Elgey 24 Kodi Nikorima 22 Luke Brooks 23 Mitchell Moses 23 Cameron Munster 23 Brodie Croft 20 Average age is 22.5 So what does all this tell us? Apart from the obvious exception in Nathan Cleary, are we kidding ourselves in expecting Milford to be capable of steering the team around the park? A look at every other team says we are. Milf is on average 5 years younger than top controlling halves. And to me that's a far better comparison than just comparing pay packets. Experience in the halves is crucial. Now it is possible for him to join the elite. See Nathan Cleary. But how likely is it? Just one more thing I realised myself putting this together. Did we let Ben Hunt go just as he was coming into his prime???? [/QUOTE]
