Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3376411, member: 8423"] The problem with that though, is let's say you have a bumper year in your academy (or whatever you call it) and have a Manu, Haas, Milford, Walsh and Grant coming through. Without thinking it through, despite developing all of these players at your club, you really can only get two, maybe three of them because they are ALL guns. So either way, you lose an incentive to develop. The draft / trade system of the AFL works because they are drafting school kids and then those kids go into an automatic, non-negotiable 2 year contract with a club. If after that time (really, when they are starting to rise), the Roosters come in and still poach at an age these kids are primed to arrive and so the system in this manner, really still only benefits the Roosters. A draft system in the NRL would have to be different and somehow stop this loophole being exploited and I just do not have the confidence in NRL administration to be able to do it. [/QUOTE]
