Yeah fair call. LKH, LBS and Walker all got big mins last season. GSR would have played more if not injured.
But yes all four, plus Smith, Loke and Supyk could start the new season on the pine or out of match day squads altogether.
The older guy signings of James, Armiento, Mileusnic, Najjarine & Eze have all been brought in to hopefully start. Less so Edwards.
The U20 guys will have to more earn their stripes this season, to get mins.
Hopefully at least one of them has a real standout U20 WC like Surman did in Argentina in 2023.
