Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3634105, member: 1899"] There's pros and cons with the system. If the Broncos were to create their own pathway, they'd have to settle for one suburb as their base and put their own people in charge. After what happened to the Clydesdales, is it worth the investment for the Queensland Cup club? Let alone the Brisbane Broncos? If they made their own club, that's more staff you've got to hire to run the operations - are there enough qualified people out there to make the most of this? No Under 21s, so are the Broncos going to enter the Jersey Flegg? Will NSW clubs be keen to travel to Brisbane? Would Brisbane have to base that squad in Sydney? That's a lot of money, especially in a more expensive region of Australia. Is it just Under 21s or are we going Under 17s and 19s as well? What about the QCup? Don't you have a commitment to your local region? The pro is ideally you're developing these players under your own systems, so by the time they hit the NRL they understand their roles and responsibilities for the team. That's still a big if and would require some major co-ordination from the entire club to put it into motion and make it successful. From my understanding, you're free to sign players on training contracts and give them their 1K a week. I'm not sure how much a Jersey Flegg player makes, would have to imagine it's match payments.
