Brookside - is this for real? That's a very competitive league for a couple young bucks coming straight out of the southern league. Couple seasons of national league under the belt before going offshore might put them in better stead to be truthful.
Meh... Personally I reckon they're better off having a crack while they're young. Teams in Europe - especially in England - aren't really interested in players once they're passed the young "potential" phase. In reality they're close to this point already. But very little to lose in having a crack, we all know there's a massive element of luck involved. Good luck to them.
