Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 2916342, member: 2290"] This story doesn’t mean much to me, but I think there is a real issue with our scouts or at least with our ability to develop players. The last gun we developed through our system was Oates, 5 years ago. Kahu debuted the same year, and as much as I love him as a player, let’s be honest, talent wise he is fairly replaceable. We had Parcell (who doesn’t even really count as a player the broncos developed) and Taylor. Sure there are circumstances around both those players for why they left but other than them we really don’t have much to show. Considering that in the years before them we established Yow Yeh, Gagai, Moose, Macca, Gillett, Norman, Hunt, and even Hoffman (great winger for a period there), our production seems to have really slowed down. Haas and Fifita may change my tune in a few years but we’ll see. I’m not convinced Offa is a star forward just yet either. Allen is another player who has he heap of hype but apparently his attitude stinks and he is looking like leaving. Someone is doing a poor job compared to whatever it was that worked so well for us uncovering the last generation of players. [/QUOTE]
