Message: [QUOTE="Wolfie, post: 3663589, member: 8770"] It took a while i agree. Nobody expects thing overnight, but at the same time, when you regress in pretty much every department in a 12 month span questions have to be asked. You look at things Gus did at the Panthers, it wasnt all that complicated really. Its pretty common knowledge his whole plan was to focus on overhauling their development system. Thats where the bulk of his effort went and look at them now. We are under the pump in that regard. Our junior development i dont believe is up to scratch. I agree with [USER=8423]@Sproj[/USER], we develop some high calibre players, and i think they come here because of our past reputation, but we dont develop enough good players to come in when we inevitably lose some of our better ones. Imo, we seem to look at too many superstars and not enough good, solid first graders you can rely on. Having the Phins in the NRL now is going to put more pressure on our system. They have a well developed and easily recognisable junior and pathways system to the NRL. I dont think our system, unless you are entrenched in junior football, is anywhere near as easy for parents identify where you go to be a Bronco. At Redcliffe, theoretically, you can take a 6 year old and put him through one system to play NRL footy. Get a group of them good enough, and then you have a situation like Penrith have now.
