Gary, perhaps the suggestion was that the Rorters seem to get favoured when it comes down to cap issues, tin hat time, don't think so :)

Yes the refs, the salary cap auditors, the nrl and the ball boys are all in together to screw parra over

The Roosters are going alright now because they built their 'academy' and planned their pathways so well. If they got favourable treatment (e.g. like the Broncos) they would have done better than a wooden spoon and three top eight finishes in the last six years.

O'Sulivan just outbid everyone else for junior talent, pretty much what he did at the Storm

No secret to how they bought their way to prominence, they spend nothing on junior development as such, just pay up for talent, that is why clubs like Parra and Penrith have expressed some concern that they spend far more on development and they get raided big time

That's eleven of their top seventeen.

So are you saying the Roosters spend more or the Panthers and Eels spend more?

Simple, parra and Penrith spend a lot moron jumior development rough their junior league and elite training , the Rorters just buy 17/18 year olds ( see Pearce for instance who was offered 3 times more by them as a 15 year old than any other club) . Play them in NYC or Ball and call them juniors.

FPN, JWH etc were all paid overs and it worked out for them, but they spend it on developed juniors not developing them. Jakiel Mariner is Tyrel Fuimano's brother, signed and playing in NYC

A microcosm of all three...blueberries are in abundance at the moment. I am currently dealing with a nasty outbreak of beer bottle tops that are threatening to take over the garden beds!!!
LOLLLLL, you need a few angora goats to demolish the blackberries.
Bottle tops are natural and good for the garden.
Have you got a male to increase population?

So it looks like they just spend their money smarter. Hopefully we're doing that too now.

So, you would be happy to have no junior clubs in the district, just feed on everyone else. As you know I am involved in junior league, that is a very shortsighted, and a jaundiced overview from clubs like the Rorters who were happy to give their few junior clubs to Souffs and do buggar all except leech on everyone else

Certainly not in the best interest of the game

good read casper.Sounds like a peacefull lifestyle.
We work hard for a peaceful lifestyle.
We are not into religions, cults, sects, following the one in front or being followed, etc, no drugs, booze, processed foods/liquids, etc...
We are all about learning how to take full-responsibility for our lives and making it happen in this life.
We see life is a gift on a do no harm path.
We aspire to this. Coming from a severely compromised background is extremely challenging but we are not giving up.

Did the roosters cut their junior league clubs or just move them to souths? If they cut them all then that is harming league but if they simply got moved to the neighbouring district it doesn't really affect junior league too much does it?

And haven't balmain, souths, canterbury and st george junior leagues all merged from under 13s or 14s anyway?
