You're completely right. We need the rest of our teams to try chase down the Brums who have clearly been the outstanding rugby high performance program in Australia for years. We need another team or 2 to be similarly competitive to start to claw back some interest in Super Rugby.

But plays in the same position/ role as Wilson.. It's unfortunate for Harry. But arguably our best forward is playing in the same position as him.
So he's missing out. And was just pointing out it's not like Valetini's old his a year .. year and half older.
None of that though has anything to do with what you just said... But I guess your comment had nothing to do with the conversation..so...

All players should be at or near their peak (props excl). The idea that a player at 25 is young strikes me as weird.

Players play into their mid to late 30’s these days, so it is young

Etsebeth and Retallick both represented their countries at the age of 19. Two of the best in the world, still. Weird?

The conversation was about Wilson being so young and I just pointed out his only 1 year and half younger then Valetini..that's all just that the guy in his position is going to be around a fair while...

From recent Fox Sports article about the team manager leaving Wallabies:
"Although most of the staff were only contracted until the end of the World Cup, the list of exits has still included assistant coaches Jason Ryles, Brett Hodgson, Dan Palmer, Neil Hatley, Pierre-Henry Broncan and Berrick Barnes, while Brad Davis quit on the eve of the tournament.
The report calls the move not to re-sign staff brought in by Jones, including team psychologists, “shows a line in the sand is being drawn”.
Complete cleanout of the setup. Some of the detail around certain aspects of the coaches was atrocious, so can't say that is too disappointing.

'Setup' implies some level of planning and co-ordination evidently well beyond anything these people are capable of.
