Who gives a **** about the EPL
The FFA are on a program to encourage clubs to better develop players by raising standards so players are ready for First Grade at younger ages. This will in the future develop better calibre of players at all levels of the game and not just the elite professional level
This is part of their strategy
Now considering the standard of the English NT there is hundreds of issues with the set up of the game in England.
Why one would want to follow their lead defies logic just as using them as an example defies logic
