Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3001156, member: 9052"] Looking from the outside in to me it's the actual clubs doing a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of junior development. The QRL and NSWRL chip in for grass roots but that next level up appears to be chipped in from the NRL clubs via scholarships and different things like that... if you have a draft setup then I think that stops. Why would the Broncos develop players just so the NSW scum can come and cherry pick them. It works in America because the college and even high school athletic systems are so lucrative. Again I don't have any inside knowledge of how it all works, but given the big thing about junior development, club territories (in Sydney), etc. it makes me think a draft would cut all that and the NRL, QRL & NSWRL would have to start doing almost all of the lifting for junior development.
