The junior arguement is just so funny.
Lets see the demographics of the Eastern Suburbs has changed so that there are few families etc that now live in the area. As such there is minimal junior talent pool.
O.K so the Roosters have a choice. Pointlessly try and develop juniors in the East or make a decision to identify talent elsewhere?? Pretty simple decision to make.
BUT the point is....once they identify that talent what do they do with it. I know that if I lived in Balmain I would rather be identified by the Roosters who have a professional coaching staff and excellent development program that to go to the Wests Tigers. My career would certainly benefit.
NOW you cannot sinmply get upset at the Roosters because of this. Why not try and write to your own clubs and inform them of what they are doing wrong. And please dont say its all about money because that is bollocks. The Roosters get some junior players from Brisbane, Canterbury etc and the Broncos, Dogs etc have plenty of cash if they wanted to keep them. They come to the Roosters because it is a professional, well managed and coached club.
And if that is bad well then talk to the young blokes who went there and see what they will tell you.
