Agree with the premise of Lods that we have nothing much coming through in the U25 category with the exception of the Campo kids and they are going to have a fair bit of pressure on them to provide Daicos bros type results.
We've got plenty of U25s that are either regulars in the firsts or who are showing potential; Cowan, Motlop, the two Hollands, Kemp, Walsh and Cottrell in the first category and Carroll, Binns, Monahan, Wilson and Moir in the second. Then there's another lot of youngsters who may or may not make it. Then there's another intake, including Scott's boys, to come in this year. Who knows what talent we may pick up?
