Exactly this.What have they done? Sheridan won the 2 km preseason time trial, with Sutcliffe the runner up. Or do you mean, aside from the better sanitation and medicine and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order, what have the romans ever done for us?
We may not have both Hills for round 1, the reality is that not all players can play on the wing. So amongst a few others that haven't locked down a role, Sheridan, Sutcliffe and Pearce are legitimate contenders.
The whole "Play the youth" thing kinda loses purpose when you just play the youngest guy on your list because hes young. Everyone that remains on the list (ie. isnt delisted at the end of the year) should be treated as a possible best 22 player regardless of age, experience or previous seasons. So starting fresh this season, Sutcliffe and Sheridan have both had big preseasons and D.Pearce seems to offer a lot as a 'leader' type. Playing Crowden over these guys just says to him, "oh you look alright, you can play."
Make them earn it, as Brayshaw seems to have with impressive preseason results and these guys will end up much better and more driven players.
