Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2508992, member: 1899"] I posted in reference to Brent81's post which included... I don't believe our players or depth are where they should be. For years we refused to play our stars of the 20s in spite of them being ready for QCup and I feel it stunted their growth. Corey Norman, Dale Copley, Kurt Baptiste, Ben Hunt, Dane Gagai etc. should have been playing QCup much sooner than they did but the Broncos changed their development policy sometime around 2009 because the 20s got off to an awful start. Nothing compares to being able to train at the Broncos facilities with other players you've spent the off-season with and that you know. One session isn't enough, especially if you're a halfback where organising the team and the attack is critical. Players get to play in the positions they're being groomed for (how was Maranta going to become a better winger playing five eigth for Norths for instance?), at NRL facilities where they get to be apart of the match day experience and there is never a hint of isolation. That last point isn't just about the Broncos either, I'm talking competition wide where it's no secret the NSW Cup players feel excluded in all the hoopla. [/QUOTE]
