It's all boundaries on a map. Brisbane have always taken a more holistic approach and technically don't have any juniors. Brisbane have the EPD that was revamped late 2005 with Bunn and Nolan. Individual development starts at 14. They go to the club's academy at 15 and if they're still in the system at the end of grade 12 graduate to the senior academy. From there a target of 3 to 4 will enter the NRL squad through the NYC team. Broncos have scouts and identification in all rural areas. It finds them keeps them at home and then feeds them in when they're ready. McCullough was 13 at Dalby Devils Gillett was 15 at Redcliffe Dodds was 19 at Wynnum Hunt was 13 at Dingo Primary McGuire was 17 at Aspley Spread all over the place through schools and clubs, then they have their feeder arrangements with ISC clubs in key areas all feeding them players and developing players.
