Until age 33, the skills are not going down (or at least rarely), at the age of 33 actually skills some start to drop, but usually not significantly, aged 34+, there really is a problem. Wally Granner and BJ Edgar is only 34 in the roster right now, and Scott Downey is the only one that his age 33. so the NT is not very old..

Hi
At the beginning, I did not agree with you at all, but, now, I think that country like NZ probably need a combination of both, in the NT need to play the best players that NZ have,but I also can agree that players that have short way until they reach the level of the NT (less than 2 seasons of training for example), need to be in the NT, the others - need to be in contact with the coach of the NT and continue with their training.

*This was definitely not my original idea, but probably in the case of a country like New Zealand, that at the moment, anyway achieving 2-3 wins on the season, would be really more smart to develop the next generation, but, I do not think it would be right to neglect the current generation, so, after your questions and suggestions, I think it would be right to combine, something like 10 best players in New Zealand, plus 6 best young players in New Zealand, plus two empty places, for special cases (game shape problems, or injury to a key player, or something similar)

Well I did drop the other players that were 35+ because they have been dropping skills since last season and I know that players don't drop skills until they are at least 34+ but its not easy to make an effective team for the future or your campaign without young players. I do have my eye on some young NT players that have 23 and 22 just waiting for them to get better before they are introduced to the team.

There are 4 managers registered to get the NT job but only 2 managers have made their speeches.

I would be happy to train players but I don't get any decent potential players from the draft. I have spent so much money on the draft and still the highest I get is All Star potential. :(

You're right, there is no reason that players aged 35+ will play on the NT, players aged 34, if they are very good, so they stay on the NT this season and in next season they will leave.
If I will win in NT coach position, when I know the skills of the roster, I can say more.
