[Big Pete]

Bulldogs fans, breathe a sigh of relief. I am not coming after you nor your club I merely wish to ask each and every Rugby League fan from all 16 clubs which of your players in your respective squads aren't your juniors. Eg. Were apart of another club's junior system before joining your squad?

For the Broncos we've bought 18 players from our squad of 40, they include...

Rohan Ahern - Roosters junior
Scott Anderson - Storm junior
Matt Britt - Raiders junior
Andrew Clayton - Roosters junior
Israel Folau - Storm junior
Alex Glenn - Burleigh junior
David Hala - Roosters junior
Kurtis Lingwoodock - Titans junior
PJ Marsh - Eels junior
Tim Natusch - Knights junior (may need some clarification)
Lagi Setu - Dragons junior
Ashton Sims - Dragons junior
Tariq Sims - Dragons junior
Tim Smith - Eels junior
Ben Te'o - Tigers junior
Peter Wallace - Panthers junior
Antonio Winterstein - Roosters junior
Jharal Yow Yeh - Storm junior

I think the term "junior" is used rather loosely. Nonetheless...

Darius Boyd (Broncos)
Jamie Soward (Roosters)
Michael Weyman (Raiders)
Jeremy Smith (Storm)
Nathan Fien (Cowboys)
Michael Greenfield (Souths/Sharks)
Neville Costigan (Broncos)
Jarrod Saffy (Tigers)
Junior Paulo (Parra)
Peni Tagive (Tigers)
Jack Bosden (Sharks)
Michael Lett (Roosters)
Jon Green (Bulldogs?)
Luke Priddis (Raiders)
Nick Emmett (Broncos)
Joe Vickery (Sharks)

 

[Big Pete]

Shouldn't Beau Scott be on that list?

 

[watatank]

Shouldn't Beau Scott be on that list?

He came through the Dragons junior ranks, went to the Sharks for an opportunity and came back...for the same reason.

 

[Big Pete]

Thanks for clearing that up mate.

Junior Paulo was a Penrith Junior wasnt he?

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Price (Dogs) - Will be gone at the end of the season
Tate (Broncs)
McKinnon (Was it Eels or Souths?) - Will be gone if he doesn't pull his finger out.
Henderson (Eels?) - Ditto as McKinnon
Luck (Cowboys) - Shouldn't even be there now let alone next year
Lillyman (Cowboys) - Never should've been signed to begin with
Seymour (Broncs)
Moon (Broncs)
Maloney (Storm)
Latimore (Eels)
Brown (Tigers)

Got eleven (that I can think of), should have half of that.

 

[legend]

Jamie Soward was a Raiders junior and left for the Roosters.

Folau was a Wests Junior, I am pretty sure.

 

[Firey_Dragon]

He came through the Dragons junior ranks, went to the Sharks for an opportunity and came back...for the same reason.

Technically he's still a campbelltown junior though, being from camden.

Henderson - Roosters??? well he came to parra from them anyways.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

What defines a junior though? Comting through the clubs junior ranks or coming from a clubs junior district? What happens then with country based players like Nathan Hindmarsh?

I think it shouldnt matter where they came from, just which clubs system they came through.

 

[watatank]

Junior Paulo was a Penrith Junior wasnt he?

Probably. I probably should've checked that one.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Yeah true, some players mightve debuted or kicked off their career at the club, but started off somewhere else.

Latimore is originally from Port Macquarie, came to Cronulla and then Parramatta where he made his First Grade debut.

Tim Natusch, I think he's a Kiwi, but came to Newcastle, not sure when though.

McKinnon is actually a Penrith Junior, his club was St Clair.

Some Parra players this year:

Poore (Dragons)
Shackleton (Roosters)
Tahu (Knights)
Moi Moi (Souths)
J Wright (Knights)

 

[mxlegend99]

Panthers:
Travis Burns (Sea Eagles)
Petero Civoniceva (Broncos)
Gavin Cooper (Cowboys)
Kevin Kingston (Sharks)
Daine Laurie (Tigers)
Nigel Plum (Roosters)
Adrian Purtell (Raiders)
David Simmons (Sharks)
Nathan Smith (Raiders)
Brad Tighe (Knights)
Luke Walsh (Knights)

These are just the guys who made NRL debuts for other clubs. We also have a number of players that were in other junior systems at some point, but they weren't as easy to categorise.

 

[yobbo84]

Made First Grade Debut elsewhere:
Roy Asotasi (Bulldogs)
Colin Best (Sharks)
Sam Burgess (Bradford)
Michael Crocker (Roosters)
Garret Crossman (Panthers)
Ben Ross (Dragons)
Luke Stuart (Sharks)
David Taylor (Broncos)
Rhys Wesser (Panthers)

Made First Grade Debut for Souths:
Luke Capewell (from QLD cup)
Shaune Corrigan (Central Coast)
Scott Geddes (Dragons)
Ben Lowe (Nth Qld)
Issac Luke (NZ/Bulldogs)
Chris McQueen (Qld Cup)
Chris Sandow (Qld Cup)
Jamie Simpson (Broncos)
Dave Tyrell (Qld Cup)

Souths Juniors:
Beau Champion
Jason Clark
Beau Falloon
Dylan Farrell
Shannan McPherson
Nathan Merritt
Eddy Pettybourne
John Sutton
Fetuli Talanoa
Taioalo Vaivai

Technically he's still a campbelltown junior though, being from camden.

Which is why I mentioned that the term "junior" is used rather loosely...

A lot of players have similar history...Trent Merrin is technically from Souths territory, even though he never played junior reps there...Jake Marketo is from QLD....I counted them both as "juniors".

Joe Vickery is a local junior who went to the Sharks for a year or so before he went to the Dragons

 

[Tom Ace]

What defines a junior though? Comting through the clubs junior ranks or coming from a clubs junior district? What happens then with country based players like Nathan Hindmarsh?

Exactly.

And that's the reason why this topic always turns into a sh*tfight.

Burleigh isn't an NRL club so I dont think he should be on that list.... I know he was playing QLD Cup for Burleigh before Broncos signed him, but they were the first NRL club to do so (in my knowledge).

Burleigh isn't an NRL club so I dont think he should be on that list.... I know he was playing QLD Cup for Burleigh before Broncos signed him, but they were the first NRL club to do so (in my knowledge).

But the Burleigh Bears are affiliated with the Titans.
