I'm not sure there is really a huge difference between how Storm and Roosters do things. For every example of Roosters signing a big name, there are just as many of them recruiting young guns and bringing them through their pathway systems. Manu, Walker, Butchers current examples. Previously Latrell and RTS. Next it will be Siua Wong and Robert Toia. They also have their share of players that were cut by other clubs. Paulo, Tupou, Hutchison, Allen immediately spring to mind.I like how the Storm do it compared to Roosters who simply get uncle Nick Politis to attract the hottest properties eg Brandon " the cheese " Smith . I think the SE Qld feeder teams are also a great source for the Storm . I think we should raid some of these Qld cup guys also
It is not as though we are not looking at Qld based players. Simpkin, Bula the current obvious examples.
But as things stand, why would a young player prioritise the Tiger's over another club?
