Message: [QUOTE="Raw Boned Youngster, post: 2218362, member: 1886"] Loyalty is gone because it is not rewarded or acknowledged through concessions. Producing and blooding juniors doesn't work because rival clubs swoop when they are ready and the breeding club has to play the waiting game with underperforming / not quite ready talent. The Bulldogs are actually onto something with their buying policy. I believe they recognise that successful clubs are about the moment, not what will happen in a year or two. They have proven that new players to the club can be embraced as one of their own almost instantly. For the Bulldogs to do this, especially with their reputation as the family club etc, clearly paints a picture of the modern game and the associated fans. More than any club, the Broncos produce very young players who are groomed and then snapped up. I can't see any reason why this trend would not continue. Sad but true. [/QUOTE]
