I know we all need Carty and Searle booted from the joint, but we also need to bring more locals into the club, or at least more Queenslanders.
I think we really struggle to attract fans and sponsors from SE Qld because we're seen as a bit of a Clayton's Qld club. Our coach is a rusted-on Blue and our squad has far more NSW-men than Qld'ers. We seem to be a dumping ground for 2nd rate players that couldn't hack it/ were booted from Sydney clubs. Guys like Roberts, Mortimer, Sezer, Kelly, Carter, Tighe and Takairangi shouldn't be recruited to the club at the expense of recruiting local players.
I guess one of the barriers to this is our under 20's team is awful and has been since day 1. But the club needs to fix that situation, and become more of a local SE Qld club. Then our fortunes will improve.
