Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3285029, member: 9052"] I guess your reference to the prevalence in the junior systems is what I was referring to. Basically the guys that get picked up by Sydney teams before anyone has heard of them and then fade off to obscurity. I was wondering if their lack of affiliation with the Sydney club means they drop lower on the list compared to the Sydney juniors and eventually they're released with little effort to develop them... or they become homesick and head home, but they're lack of presence down in Sydney means they just go into ISC. Say a Flegler or someone (not a superstar generational talent like Swalker, Ponga, etc.) getting picked up by the roosters, but never makes grade and eventually tails off and becomes an also ran in the reserve grades, because the Sydney team is somewhat fickle when it comes to talent outside of their normal junior catchment... or potentially they just have a high turnover of juniors and the QLD guys are little fish in the big pond Everyone talks about NSW coming in and raiding QLD talent and Broncos no longer having the foothold they previously had, but they dont seem to eventuate within the Sydney teams. I'm referring to the Sydney system more so than anywhere else primarily because Storm have a good conversion rate of QLD talent coming through to their first grade squad. Canberra previously did as well until we took Logan back. But are Sydney raiding all these young qld'ers and then they're never heard of again? [/QUOTE]
