Are we running an inverted tank?

Seems we have had a revolving door of second chance/experienced players for quite a few weeks now.

In other words instead of playing youth to tank we are playing the second chance players on a rotation for 2 main reasons:

a) to work out which ones to keep; and
b) to lose games, because the youth of our side are more talented than the second chance players and if used may accidently inject skill and youthful vigour into the team and cause wins.

Are we the first side to tank without having to include the kids?

:wink:

heehehehehehe i think you finally worked it :)

Both points are valid we trying to work which second chance players to keep and fearful that an injection of the kids may actually get us up so we miss the draft oppertunity lol
