Message: [QUOTE="Professor47, post: 2262962, member: 1831"] Yeh - which is the counter argument of my view as mentioned. The reason I'm on this side of the fence is - take a look at Slater/Inglis/Hayne now compared to their debut and think hypothetically if their debut was last season... not the fact that it would be a shame but playing ability wise. Rack your memory and apart from sheer speed Slater in particular was not a game breaker or even half the player he is now... clearly because they are too raw. They need the NRL experience. Sure - due to the age sometimes they crash and burn but sometimes it puts them in a position to "peak" quite early which gives them a great opportunity to develop into a mature headed footballer by the 26-27 mark rather than 29. (e.g C Smith maybe?) I say 18 is good enough personally - if you're old enough to gamble and buy drinks in this country and even be charged as an adult... well... face the consequences of your actions IMO. [/QUOTE]
