Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3523226, member: 1899"] They did well, but how much of that success can be put down to simply having a foot in Brisbane? Did Brisbane even have the power to lock up all the QCup clubs? Would it even benefit the competition or would it have just led to a weaker product? How many Norths juniors did Melbourne actually bring through? I'm struggling to think of any products that came out of that district. Cameron Smith - Logan Cooper Cronk - Acacia Ridge Billy Slater - Innisfail Antonio Kaufusi - Bundaberg Dallas Johnson - Herberton Adam Blair - Whangarei Greg Inglis - Bowraville Israel Folau - Minto Will Chambers - Nhulunby Sika Manu - Randwick Kevin Proctor - Currumbin At best you could make an argument for Will Chambers. Chambers attended Nudgee on a scholarship where he was signed by Melbourne. While I'm sure Will is a bright guy, I'd have to think he didn't earn that scholarship purely for his academics but rather for his abilities on the field. I'm just not sure they couldn't have enjoyed the same success elsewhere. However this is a loss for the Broncos and the Dolphins will make it a priority to bring local players through. [/QUOTE]
