Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3654455, member: 1899"] The evidence speaks for itself. The issue is, why would a 20-21 year old come here? Unless they're playing QCup, they're not going to be looked after as well as they would be in Jersey Flegg. 21-22 is a tough age for a player of that calibre. Do they continue to make sacrifices while the rest of their mates start careers? How long are they happy to play QCup while working some dead end job and packing up for better opportunities? Lord knows unless they're some superstar they've had their share of run-ins with coaches who have told them they'll never make it. So what you'll often see is a James Johnson situation who takes an opportunity with the Broncos, spends a few months there, suffers a setback and he completely falls off the Rugby League radar. That's time, expertise, resources that could have gone into somebody else. Same thing happened with Shalom O'Ofou. [/QUOTE]
