Message: [QUOTE="OXY-351, post: 2196947, member: 2107"] No, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that back in the 70s/80s, for whatever reasons, a lot of high profile QLD footballers stayed in the BRL rather than head to Sydney. Then the Broncos were formed, and a lot of them were convinced to join. They could have the best of both worlds. Stay in brisbane, and play in the premeire league comp in the country. The Broncos admistration at the time should be commended for signing these guys up, cause I beleive it's shaped the way the club has been for the past 21 years, even know some of the players and officials are long gone I don't think the Broncos have all of QLD to pick from anymore, and there's nothing to stop a young player signing with another club, but it's got to be a great carrot to dangle in front of a young players head that they can play at such a great club, with such great players, some probably their childhood stars. Great players attract other great players, so over the years, the broncos have been able to build on this legacy of great players the club had in it's first season or two, at which point they did have a large proportion of QLD players to pick from - a luxury sydney teams in the comp never had [/QUOTE]
