@ said:@ said:What does the Storm have or do which is superior to our junior pathways? They bring young players into their NRL team and all perform well and know their roles. I know it is harder for our younger players because the NRL team struggles most weekends but there must be a reason for this? Thoughts?
Good point I wonder myself.
But look at it this way if you a super talented 16 year old and you had a number of clubs looking at you where would you go.
The culture / reputation at the storm allows the club to be able to pick and choose the best talent out there and for less incentive because the incentive is to learn rugby league from the best available.
I also believe clubs that feeder to / from the Queensland cup get better players as well.
That comp is not over saturated with a bunch of kids that just want to stay and play with there mates.
Ask you self how much better our depth players would be if we could spread them throughout the other NSW cup teams?
Good reply and thanks. Perhaps with our new recruitment officer and new culture under Cleary we will see an influx of talented juniors (more from Qld as well) as well as better performed juniors through our pathways programme.
