Arguably, kids aren't going to be damaged by a season playing with older pros but the older pros aren't doing enough to win the games at the moment.

I.e. it's nothing to do with the kids.
It was more a response to the post before it but kids need to be introduced gradually.

Senior pros in decline and kids not quite good enough ends with this result.
