Message: [QUOTE="HarryAllan7, post: 3376400, member: 9372"] You either need to have some sort of reward for developing young talent - ensuring that wherever a prospect plays their junior footy, they automatically feed into the associated first grade team for the duration of a rookie contract (2-4 years). But this would kill teams like the Roosters who make no effort to foster their own young talent. So the alternative.... Have a draft system whereby the team that developed the prospects has 'first rights' to acquire that player for a fair amount (exactly how the AFL do it)... [B]An example:[/B] Hypothetically the Tigers get the wooden spoon this year, giving them first pick in the rookie draft. They are keen on young Blake Mozer, but he is linked to the Brisbane system. Given the Broncos have developed Mozer as a junior, they are able to (if they want to) usurp the Tigers to select Mozer by trading an appropriate value of draft picks / players to the Tigers, and the Tigers have no right of refusal. Therefore, the Broncos guarantee they get the junior they developed but ALSO the poorer teams up the top of the draft order still get fairly compensated to ensure parity across the competition.
