Won’t work in this case he’s asking for massive coin. Player signed for 2021 after November 1st coming back is the only logical option. Being from that team or another. Brimson, Arrow, Sami or a combination of. A lot depends on the Matulino retirement.

@Kazoo-Kid Yep , it’s mental there isn’t one . The day before free agency in the NBA this year was like Christmas Eve . Then when it hit , the anticipation and frenzy that followed , was intense. The sport dominated the media cycle , and not 1 ball was bounced .
Having a draft , free agency , transfer window seems a no brainer to me

A question about drafts, as I have no experience with them. What happens to junior football if the NRL introduced a draft? What incentives would clubs have to invest in grassroots/juniors if those players end up elsewhere anyway?

You said it yourself mate! I bolded it for you so as not to take you out of context!

Ok, fair enough @cochise: do the words I wrote following that being "AS I HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU, I BELIEVE THE MAGPIES DAYS ARE GONE AS FAR AS OUR N.R.L. SIDE IS CONCERNED....followed by "I WANT WHAT I BELIEVE IS THE BEST FOR OUR WESTS TIGERS TO GO AHEAD IN A BIG WAY".
Why isn't that just as relevant as the words you chose to highlight?

No it is relevant mate, that is why I didn't just quote that you want us to be called the Magpies as that would have been unfair. Its just that is your second preference, that is ok, my 1st preference is to have the Wests Tigers and I will stand up for that against people who want to see that disappear.

@Kazoo-Kid as it’s already been mentioned , the NRL would assume all responsibility. If anything it may mean more actual money going into the actual junior clubs, rather than the teams elite academy’s, which is where the funding goes now. What would be a consequence however, is you would see soccer style elite pathways, which is really some ex nrl coach player taking a couple grand out of your savings each year for little Johnny to not get drafted. Not to be negative at the end . The draft is actually a good thing
@Strongee the NRL are a joke , juniors would suffer much more , they are not experts in developing junior talent or identifying . The politics that they would have selecting players etc would be higher than any small time 2 bit organisation. Look at the perceived bias at Nrl level.
also this is the same organisation who has made it harder for clubs to bring in juniors and develop them .
The nyc was poor , removal of 2nd grade and 3rd grade comps has affected player depth and development and the biggest stuff up is ...the mandatory top 30 squads
imagine the titans , they are forced to play the duds they had in their top 30 , but could have used 2nd half of the year to blood a whole bunch of juniors fro, their system and identify talent , instead forced to use the top 30 duds who have no real pressure to perform

@Anon-lurker i actually disagree. Bringing in a draft will never happen but it would be great for junior league and drum up alot of attention. Added to that their would be clear pathways alot more talent scouting and if done properly a total department just for running it win win imo.
