Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2260083, member: 1764"] I can see what Ricky's saying, and there's some merit in it. But I just can't see it being workable to keep kids out of the NRL until they're 21. The biggest problem I think is kids who get taken from their local community (country or whatever) and move to the big city and get put in a share house with a bunch of other kids at the same developmental stage with not enough adult supervision/family grounding. Obviously they can't relocate entire families, as the parents have lives back where they come from, but I think clubs should look at billeting young players with well adjusted local families, if not even families of the football club staff or older players. Imagine, if you were living with Steve Price and his family, you wouldn't be putting a foot wrong would you? But stick a bunch of 17-18 year olds from the bush together in a house near Sydney or Brisbane, with lots of disposable income and time...what's the result going to be? [/QUOTE]
