Really? What about...
Reed - Broncos
Widdop - Storm
Burgess brothers - Souths
Ellis - Tigers

Just off the top of my head...

The top of your head is as wrong as the rest of you. Jack Reed debuted with the Broncos and was developed in Q cup and local Brisbane comps. He was a Raiders junior at Souths Logan, but they didn't want him so Brisbane signed him.

Dragons just don't sign anybody....so we don't target any club in particular.
Peter Doust loves sitting back and watching all the other clubs make player movements while we sign blokes like Will Mathews to sit on the bench for our reserve grade side.

Parramatta seem to do most of their recruiting at Centrelink, just check out the talent looking to cash their Pensions.

Depends how far back you go. Sure not huge splurges but late 90's you had a thing for Knights players and about7 or 8 years ago had a bit of a sharks buying spree.

That's harsh, we signed Vidot from the Raiders. What a revelation he's been.

Warriors - Cowboys is a definite one. Steve Rapira has been from us to the Cows and back, we picked up Lillyman, sent our dead wood Rovelli and Faumuina the other way, Leeson ah Mau as well, and unfortunately lost the great man Tate to them as well.

We picked up Jason Death from the Cowboys back in the day too.

Gatis and Luck both played for the Cowboys before coming to us, but we didn't pick them up from the Cowboys as much as the Cowboys letting them go and us picking them up later on.

Yep, the Broncos signed Jack Reed from England. >_>

Been a few years since we've properly scouted but the Dragons would be our pick.

Ashton Sims
Tariq Sims
Korbin Sims
Tom Hewitt
Lagi Setu
Aaron Gorrell
Michael Ennis

You can add Tallis and Mundine to that list too

Good points, forgot about those guys - especially Luck.

I think by off-cuts you mean quality players who Parra screw up keeping and go on to do better things at new club.

Just goes to show how many players Western Sydney produces.

They cant keep them all, and obviously get it wrong few times.

Then other times, Hindy, Lewis, they get years of quality service.
