ZERO of the current 2026 Crabs played up on the 25's. Almost the entire team (75+%) are indeed holdbacks.
We know this. Everyone knows this, except Crabs dad who has been on the team since inception. Not sure how he missed it.
Can someone name me 1 elite team playing in HOCO that doesn’t have a holdback on the team? I’ll wait……
None.......Any group of 22-25 13-14 year olds is bound to have one kid who was held back, at some time, for some reason.
I think the issue is the lying about it, like it doesn't exist and like it has no impact on how the game is played at this level.
