Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 3044279, member: 8814"] What the hell is wrong with our fans. First it's we can't develop enough players, now it's we can't keep them. I am astonished and proud of the way the club has turned their development and talent spotting around the last few years. Look at our team! It's full of the most talented youngsters seen in years. Will it work out? It's never 100%! Can we keep them all? Of course not! But for mine, I'd pick the 18 year old who blitzed the qld cup and got MoM in his debut game, and has stood up to everything he has got thrown at him at nrl level and did his job, not looking out of place once, over the 19 year old who got dropped from qld cup in an underperforming team, and who's highlight reel that everyone is using as some sort of justification for him being the pick of the lot involved David fifita in 95% of them. If you cant get tries with him on your hip at under 18s you shouldn't even make the under 18s bench for souths logan. Will boyd be great? Maybe. Is dearden ahead of him at this age? Waaay ahead. Paix? Yes. O'sullivan who is 2 years older? Way ahead. So should we keep 4 halfbacks? No. It's that simple. I love what the club has been doing lately. It's the good old days of the broncos where nearly every talented junior in a position we were weak in was recruited and only the strong survived. Can it blow up in our face? Maybe. But when we didn't do it it blew up in our face a hell of a lot more, and when we did recruit with this philosophy we won plenty of premierships. So what's it to be, don't recruit all these talented youngsters and be condemned to years of not winning a premiership, or recruit and develop a lot and pick the best when their 18-20 with a few going off because they don't have the opportunity or there's too big amount of money thrown at them... Because they are the ONLY 2 options... [/QUOTE]
