Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2889707, member: 2221"] I think apples are being compared to oranges here. The Storm are in AFL heartland, and will find as difficult (probably more) as the Lions do in Brissy, to get traction in schools to get development going. Brisbane is RL heartland and cannot be compared, neither can PNG, where the sport as close to religion as it can get. 20 years may seem like a lot, and the lack of genuine Victorian FG players may look like nothing is being done, but the (slow) growth is there, and while it may take some time to see what the current crop of Victorian youngsters delivers, there are plenty of more realistic things the Storm should be blamed for. At the moment, as a professional club, their responsibility is to be competitive, and that means they have to get the bulk of their players from other states. Even the Broncos, which probably are the club with most resources and grass roots to chose from, source from the Gold Coast, North Queensland, NZ, NSW and even England... [/QUOTE]
