Agree @jinxibo, this just looks like a fudge to get EN out of the hole they’ve created with the new teams – and also consigns an awful lot of players to the scrapheap past the age of 23.
Thunder was the first squad I saw… first slide said “next gen” and the next slide was Jade Clarke lol. Sure the young players will only get better playing with her.
Interesting to see George Inger (Fisher) and Jade playing in this comp – so not the “next generation” then. The messaging about this competition is totally mixed up!
