That was a side that was losing by 60 most weeks, The aim is to get quality not East Coast cast offs
It was also a new set up without the elite pathways underneath it and with a number of WA's best talent at that age group already over on the east coast. The fact kids were willing to move to perth to be part of it was my point lol.

How many do that to take up a 1 year deal at just over $100k?
Who would be doing that? Those kids will mostly be in the NS system until they are ready to join the 32 man first team squad. Where the NSW cup side will run from will be interesting (presuming we havent gone back to a reserve grade by 27/28)

Either run two rg one in nsw (bears) and the other in qld cup (wa) or just bears nsw cup

Easier for nrl players to move over then kids

Yep and have a look at the bottom of the Jersey Flegg and The QRL version

Flegg last is Fiji. Storm ran 12/14
QRL Wide Bay ran last in both

These areas aren't bad at RL but shows how far in front areas with elite pathways are.

This is why I am for the Bears partnership, Whatever gives the best option to be good

Wide Bay is a strange one. A lot of genuine RL talent in the region however the best of the best usually end up in the Falcons (Storm) 2.5 hours away or Capras (Dolphins) 3.5 hours away systems.

Just no real corporate money in the Biggenden/Harvey Bay/Childers/Maryborough regions to invest into footy tbh.

That is the issue outside of Bris/GC

Sydney/Newcastle.

I think are few on here have their hands in the sand about the huge difference between elite junior development and just player numbers.

This is why getting these new sides setup correctly is key
