Message: [QUOTE="papabear, post: 3329181, member: 8480"] Junior Rugby League in sydney is by and large run independently of the NRL. With pretty much every NRL / Leagues club bar easts running their own junior competition. Those competitions are administered by the NSWRL. Now whether that is the best way to go about things is a different argument. AFL pretty much control all their competitions and juniors go through their draft system. For the NRL to take over the talent would have to be shared amongst all the NRL clubs - I am not sure that works in the broncos favour. They still have a massive competitive advantage in the access to juniors they have. The reason why the responsibility falls to brisbane or potentially the dolphins is, they can not only get players that should stick with them but they also grow their own supporter base. If little kids have the bronco badge on their junior jersey that can only help. You saw canberra with souths logan which got us papa, milf, TPJ with the latter two being more effort then they were worth and only papa staying, plus unlike the broncos you arent really going to get supporters out of that area. Sooner or later the broncos may wish to administer / foster their own junior league, which has been pretty much part and parcel of rugby league everywhere forever... [/QUOTE]
