Bulldogs - 24.79
Cronulla Sharks - 24.83

Warriors - 25.62

Please keep in mind that the Cowboys figure is horribly inflated by at least 7-8 years by the presence of Jason Smith.

i must admit im surprised the raiders are so far down the list.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Price and Wiki combined would push the Warriors numbers up a bit.

Its unbelievable for such a young side the storm can be such a force. There oldest player would be geyer, with maybe smith being the second oldest? There pure athleticism is a match for there lack of experience.

Smith is only 23. Still a spring chicken.

You can have a look on the site. In the original post just click on the team and in the list of players click on the Age heading, and it will order them by age.

 

[GC_Gladiator]

Ok, did you include the 25 squad like matt rua whose turning 30 and Ben Cross?

Doesn't really matter, still a very young side.

 

[Eelementary]

Sounds about right...

I remember a time when the Eels had the lowest average player age in the NRL. What an age we lived in.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

2001 - the baby eels, broke all records ahead of them

f**king judas.

 

[Navjot]

If moodie didnt play we probably would have fielded the youngest team i reckon:lol:

 

[Xplosive]

You need a youngish side these days with rookies and experience in the mix to be potent.
If you have a look at the premiers of the last 8 years they have always been young

 

[taxidriver]

saints average is also boosted by the germ

 

[kooriguy]

wow panthers a younger then i thought.. especially gower and tony, seems like they have been around for years would have thought both were 30 or just over

 

[kooriguy]

lol at dads army souths.. 6 players 30 or over

 

[Ice777]

Kidwell will also be turning 30 in a month.

If Jason Smith were 10 years younger, then the average age of the Cowboys would be the same as the Raiders. (ie - it would move them up a few spots on the ladder)

His age only makes a differnce of 0.5 years to the total...

 

[Martli]

Price and Wiki combined would push the Warriors numbers up a bit.

+ Logan Swann

 

[Ice777]

Every team has players lifting their average so it all pretty much evens out end.

 

[Azkatro]

I just fixed up the Panthers as for some reason Priddis' age wasn't in there.
