I don't care how we get them as long as we get them, BAR semi and Bevo it's been pretty poor for a club with a junior base as big as ours. Good to see the club has rectified this. But if we count Bev and Semi it also means the Roosters Produce the best Juniors in the NRL.
You saying they don't? They spend heaps of money on junior development. That includes recruitment.

Oh, gee - I don't know about that.

Maybe it's because I'm a former tight forward myself, but I think they're crucial.

You can put a second-rower in the centres, and still compete - but you won't get anywhere without good tight forwards.

They make the tough rubs, keep the ruck tight in defence, and try to win the wrestle.

I don't think any position can be described as "less important than others", but I'd say if we had to, that role would be centre.
Middle forwards as a group are extremely important, but many of the individuals are just cogs.

They spend heaps of money on poaching Juniors, hardly the same as producing them.

As for us I don't care where they come from as long as we get them here and they become first graders. Things in that area have improved since Kearney and Nolan came here. We are now only starting to see the fruits of their labour. (academy)

Wonder how much that ACL injury has cost him? I doubt the Cows have signed him for anywhere near the money the Knights were supposedly offering before they pulled their offer in the wake of the injury... Knights dodged a bullet there I reckon...
