1 Club players (Minimum 100 games)

The article figures on their own are fine, your attack based on relaying limited information back to the forum to accompany it are certainly an attempt to frame it the way you want.

This thread probably wasn't meant to be taken as seriously as you seem to be taking it.

Oh jokes, I get jokes.

The 'Homegrown' Roosters philosophy of developing players - rather than poaching them like the Knights, Sharks, Dogs & Eels - should be applauded and replicated, not derided.

We strive to be elite in every facet.

The best management. The best coach. The best players. The best philosophies. The most educated, cultured & hygienic fans.

So the best thing the opposition could do would be to model themselves on the Roosters, rather than view us with envy.

Perhaps even a "Little Brother" partnership could work?

Shane Richardson could spend a day learning from Uncle Nick - how to manage a roster and diet. Dean Pay could do a coaching session with Robbo. The Knights could do some opposed training with their idols at the Roosters. And Souffs fans could be paired with Roosters fans in like a 'back to work' program...

We've won the comp and broken many hearts in doing so (see Albert's Cronk thread). But now it's time for us to give something back to the game...

I lol'd when I saw Josh McGuire in the Broncos list under current player.

That's really the only thing I took from the article.

Brisbane posted McGuire's official contract release on Monday at 4pm AEDT - the article was written several hours prior to that.

well that's the strategic plan right? Put nothing into the games future at a grass roots level, have talent scouts bludgeon the junior nurseries of clubs that do and take the most promising juniors at a prime age of development ( around 16 yrs old ) and then claim them as home grown.

Yes.
It's called "cultivation" in Bondi

Would be interesting to see a team 1-17 of 1 team (minimum 100 game) players.

How many clubs we reckon Maloney will clock by the time he hangs em? Is he the sluttiest current player?

1. Serious question - how much do NRL clubs actually put into junior development in comparison to the NRL and the junior clubs themselves? I'm yet to see some clean cut figures on this but i get the impression that NRL clubs don't place as much money into junior development as some often say.
2. Geographic challenges are real when it comes to juniors.

Its a great business structure at easts. They've spent about 600 billion dollars over the last 20 years for 3 premierships.
