Message: [QUOTE="talanoa, post: 2810761, member: 8530"] the recruitment piece has now been a mess for 10 or so years. the club still carry the most amount of paid scouts on their books and still hold majority of the contacts in the school network. majority of other clubs have maybe 2 full time scouts on the ground where as the broncs generally have 6 guys running around at any one time. my biggest issue which is plain and easy for all to see is a term i use - carpet bomb recruiting. its a simple process of going around and signing as many kids as possible in every age group. then we sit back and hope and prey that we jam a 100 kids in the funnel at the top and see what falls through at the bottom. this sort of scouting stinks and shows a real lack of vision. i look at the cowboys and they overhauled their system 4 or 5 years ago now. the head recruiter up there knows talent and doesnt just sign a 100 kids. me personally i just cringe at the fact that guys like munster and holmes among a host of other qld kids were passed over by our so called experts. looking at the nrl team at the moment shows a real lack of home grown talent scouting. blair was bought in sims was told to beat it and then ended up back milford was a buy in roberts was a buy in moga is a buy in boyd was a buy back it doesnt look like a long list but our 2 best players are added recruits. anyway just my opinion [/QUOTE]
