We should remember the academy has quite a number of players spread over the different age ranges.
The first team squad may be 40 players aged 20-35. Even if there were only 10 in each year the can’t all make the first team squad or we would have 500 in the squad.

Most of them won’t make the first team here or elsewhere.

Going through the replay, and all 3 of our boys look like they'll become tidy players!

https://www.salesharks.com/player/finn-carnduff/

Just found that a Finn Carduff has a Sale Sharks player profile with no details on it other than name. No squad picture, DOB, etc. Just Finn Carduff. Perhaps the start of a profile waiting to be filled out?

I'd be very surprised if Carnduff isn't getting a dev squad deal here?

Who knows.
We have a lot of forwards coming through won't be able to keep them all regardless.

Locks wise Henderson and Chessum are both only 22 and 21
Back row is even more stacked.
6's Liebenberg, Martin, Ilione, Cracknell, Jansen

Meanwhile Sale especially at 6 are looking less stacked once you go behind JL du Preez (Reckon Sale will go 4. Hill, 5. Wiese, 6. Du Preez, 7. Curry, 8. Du Preez)
Ross is 31 and honestly more a liability than most forwards in the league

That's really it in terms of proper 6's they have a few 7's in the Curry twins and Dugdale

Youngs locks really are stacked. Given how big he is Josh Manz might end up there too.

Ilione, Owen, Koroiyadi. Potentially Odiase. It's a lot of talent in the back row.

Is Jordan Tebbatt still involved at Sale do you know RB?

I will say though it wouldn't make sense given he's extremely highly rated.

It's a bug on Sale's website. Google any current player & Sale Sharks and you get a page like that.
Goooooodeeeeeyyyyy!
