Melbourne don't do juniors. Neither do the Roosters.

Maybe you need to lay off the crystal meth for a little while. The Roosters put a lot of resources into the Central Coast juniors with players like Connor Watson (who Newcastle have poached) and Latrell Mitchell as examples. More than 1000 juniors in that competition. It's a shame my tax dollars pay for you, your sister and your kids respective drug habits.

Yep. No juniors at the Roosters.

Thanks for the free meth though. It goes real good here in Singapore dummy.

Haha. In typical Roosters fashion they have bought a junior base.

The Roosters should put the same amount into developing Sydney juniors as they do CC juniors

AFL has two teams in Sydney (non-heartland) yet the NRL has only one team in Brisbane (heartland). That's messed up, the Broncos had since 88 to get a base, already have 6 premierships and a established fanbase. They should embrace the 2nd Brisbane team instead of shunning it as of late. It would provide motivation to both to expand there respective fanbases as the Broncos tend to be on cruise control in Brisbane coasting off there past successes.

Instead the Broncos welcome the other codes (Lions/Reds) to gain ground yet reject it's own code. That's messed up if anything as seen the fragmentation of the Brisbane sporting market. 2nd Brisbane team means a constant rugby league presence in Brisbane and the exclusive Brisbane derby. Also, the day that 2 Brisbane teams and NQ are top of the table would be pure excitement for QLD and NRL in general.

Providing the team has a connection to the BRL heritage like the Brothers bid it can be successful. If Brisbane is a true heartland it should have two teams simple as that. All other sporting heartlands have two teams in there major city and have derbies.

If Brisbane isn't possible of this is shouldn't call itself a heartland simple as that.
The NRL needs a another club playing out of Suncorp so that every week there is a NRL game in Brisbane.
Get the new club to play on fan friendly Saturdays or Sundays and watch the crowds flock in.

They'd easily be second best supported club in the competition with Saturday or Sunday games and would give Broncos a run for 1st in crowd numbers
