Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3654431, member: 9052"] I was only thinking the other day and whether broncos start looking at NSW players? But is it even viable for us? Gotta be hard to entice NSW players out of junior systems in NSW OR even convincing them to move north instead of finding another option with 1 of the other 9 Sydney teams. Broncos will want to stay predominantly Qld, but if we completely ignore NSW players then our pool of possible recruits is drastically reduced... whilst we're also competing with all the other teams picking up Qld players. I would probably consider Karapani one of those guys that we've picked up from the NSW system and he's been pretty good coming into grade... I'm considering him more so than Baker, Gos and Jock, because they were in Top 30 squads and started up a first grade career, rather than guys who are in junior systems that we target and bring up here. Promising Qld juniors head down south all the time, even if they have opportunities with Qld teams (Sam Walker, Oloapu, etc.), but it doesn't seem to occur in the opposite direction. It's puts a lot of pressure on the Qcup system to be continually developing reliable first graders to 'feed' the Qld teams... if NSW players are pretty much off limits. [/QUOTE]
