Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3079935, member: 9326"] I guess the danger with this though is that the idea of the 'local junior who went to school down the road from the leagues club and went on to become club Captain' is just one of the things that has always made Rugby League a bit special. Granted its a romantic notion and in reality its dying off, but to just cut throw it so willingly on the scrap heap may be throwing out more than we realise down the track. The other danger for clubs who don't invest in local junior programs is that they really weaken their argument for why they should exist where they are at all, especially if the crowds become poor too. Theoretically if the Roosters could simply manage their junior development in house, recruiting from around Australia then they could easily be relocated to Perth to do the exact same thing. What would keep them in Sydney besides a wealthy backer? [/QUOTE]
