Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2398144, member: 1764"] Biggest problem we have is that there's no genuine reserve grade, so you can't groom kids against men until they're ready for NRL. Playing in front of 352 people at Piggabeen Reserve or Bishop Park in QLD Cup isn't exactly an enticing prospect, so if another club is prepared to offer you a shot you up and leave. Opportunities at other clubs come up more and more with salary cap pushing more experienced but not necessarily superstar guys towards England later in their career to cash in. That opens up opportunities for younger guys. If there was a genuine reserve grade competition, played as a curtain raiser for the NRL game, giving fringe players that experience of playing at the best venues, travelling etc, it would greatly improve the quality of players coming into the NRL and I think limit the need for players to move clubs early to get a go.
