You might be right, but I find that terribly sad.
with regards Jordan Miller, I get that money is the prime reason he would head to Redcliffe. And good luck to him if this story is correct, it’s a tremendous opportunity for the kid. But my overriding point was that we don’t have a brotherhood type vibe amongst our juniors like say Penrith do with their Mt Druitt lads. I mean blokes are bashing each other up out west based solely on their postcodes so a sense of place is still important To some. And the Wests Tigers have absolutely no clear allegiance to any one place. They are definitely not rooted in the Macarthur region. In fact after years of neglect, the club is attempting to use the area as a giant breeding ground, yet heads home to the sanctity of the inner west every night. In many ways it’s like what the Sydney Roosters are doing with the Central Coast. They throw some money in, run a few coaching clinics and then expect first pick of any future star to emerge.
Penrith have existed for 20 more years in that area than Wests have existed in Sydneys South West.... And this "Brotherhood" You're admiring has existed for 6 (Including Pre NRL).
Never changes with you blokes - Lets all sit on our hands and blame the rest of the world the South West of Sydney is filling up with cultural diversity that isn't necessarily aligned with Rugby League....
Wests Tigers do plenty there - Play as many games there as the area will accommodate...
It's never enough.
