By the same rules as Bookie (as at October 1 using 30-day months)...
St George Illawarra Dragons:
1. Clint Greenshields - 23 years, 257 days
2. Colin Best - 26 years, 306 days
3. Mark Gasnier - 24 years, 71 days
4. Matt Cooper - 26 years, 162 days
5. Wes Naiqama - 22 years, 339 days
6. Trent Barrett - 27 years, 310 days
7. Ben Hornby - 25 years, 228 days
8. Luke Bailey - 25 years, 263 days
9. Dean Young - 21 years, 330 days
10. Jason Ryles - 26 years, 251 days
11. Ben Creagh - 20 years, 232 days
12. Lance Thompson - 27 years, 222 days
13. Shaun Timmins - 29 years, 54 days
14. Justin Poore - 24 years, 242 days
15. Ashton Sims - 20 years, 212 days
16. Corey Payne - 21 years, 143 days
17. Michael Ennis - 21 years, 194 days
Therefore, Average Age of the St George Illawarra Dragons = 24.577 years, or 24 years, 207 days.
Then, when you look at the players outside the 17 but in or around the 25, they look like:
Aaron Gorrell - 24 years, 180 days
Matthew Head - 23 years, 141 days
Michael Henderson - 21 years, 76 days
Daniel Holdsworth - 21 years, 153 days
Bryan Norrie - 21 years, 344 days
Nick Youngquest - 22 years, 62 days
Brett Kelly - 22 years, 211 days (he has got to be the most unlucky player at the Dragons. He was the most impressive of everyone in the trial matches playing in the centres, but he got shafted for Gasnier and Cooper).
Ryan Powell - 23 years, 190 days
Chris Sheppard - 24 years, 194 days
Add these guys on, and you get an Average Age at the Dragons of 23 years, 346 days.
On both counts, they beat the Tigers.
Thankyou to the media for beating up something which is incorrect, just so you can get your point across.
