Message: [QUOTE="Locky’s Left Boot, post: 3158363, member: 9358"] This times 1000 I’ll tell why I am fed up of fans and media bleating ad-nauseam about this throw away line, is because it detracts away from the real problem inside the club. Development. You could reel off a 30 man squad of superstars that were in the Broncos system, but no one wants to mention that a majority of the ones who slipped through the net only became the players the became because they were developed and playing in a better system. If Cam Munster for example had of stayed, do we honestly think he would be the player he is today in our system? Slater? Cronk? I am willing to bet 99% of these players don’t have the careers they have had in our system. THAT IS THE REAL PROBLEM. I mean FFS we could ship Ofahenague off to the Storm or Roosters tomorrow and in 2 years time he would be the equivalent of a Taukieaho. In 2 years under us he has turned into a minimum wage run of the mill forward plodder. What does that tell you? Everyone seems to be missing the point. It’s not about just getting the best talent out there on the books, it’s about actually coaching and nurturing them to develop them properly and build a strong culture and system for them to blossom.
