I dont understand why everyone is in meltdown mode....
This was always going to happen, whether it was 2017 or 2018.
We've had our run, won 4 flags in 8 seasons, including 3 in a row.
In order for Omeara and mitchell to play in our starting 22, 2 mids have to go. On top of that, we need to get experience into orourke lovell howe wooward......If all the older players stay, these younger players will never develop to their full potential, so this will fast track their development, whilst we have 2 direct replacements for lewis and Smitchell (Jaeger and TMitchell), rather then just throwing all the inexperienced players into the deep end in 2 years.
The club knows more then any journo and supporter behind the screen, so back them in and get over it. I love lewis and mitchell, two of my all time top players, but this is reality, no one plays forever.
