Exactly, Byrne has just turned 22 years of age, Havard is 20, Smithies is 20, Pearce-Paul is 20, Partington has just turned 23. It's a young pack that needs time to develop, that's why we need(ed) a couple of hold heads to help them out. I do think we missed a trick in not signing Chris Hill for a year or two.
The problem is that as soon as players find their stride they tend to leave within a season or two, so I can understand a degree of impatience. I do think we need to make some difficult decisions in terms of this pack. If the NRL don't pick anyone off then we may be better losing a couple of the young forwards and picking up one player at his peak instead. Nothing wholesale I do literally just mean a couple.
