The common factor in all of these years HAS BEEN THE CLUB! Instead of blaming the young-and-upcoming players for their failure to make it, maybe those in charge of bringing new talent forward ARE FAILING!
Shawn Blore, Sam McIntyre, Simon Dwyer, Chris Lawrence, David Nofoluma, Tim Simona, James TEdesco, Mitchell Moses, Josh Alioia, all wave hello
Add to that , Curtis and Bailey Sironen, Ado Carr, Koriebete, Brooks, Twal, Murdoch -Marsilla, Teo, Woods, Farah, Marshall, and i am sure there is more.
Ado Carr was a sharks junior, Twal parra, Farah & Marshall pre 2005, Woods already mentioned and according to most here Brooks isnt a success...
Ado Carr and Twal made their debuts at the Tigers, and Brooks was Dally M halfback of the year in 2018, and like i said there are others Lui, Papenhousen, Fifita and Masters, and im sure there is more
The point of the original post, to which I responded, was players who have come through the Tigers Junior system post 2005 and been successful here. The original poster claimed there was none, I posted a list of players that have, some have added to it. I agree with your brooks point but Ado Carr, Twal, Benji, Farah, Paps, Masters, Bailey Sironen, dont qualify for the original posters point.
Depends on what you class as junior system - is that Wests and Balmain juniors via Matts and Flegg - or players that haven't debuted yet but are in the WT system. Blore, McIntyre and Aloiai are not WT juniors and have spent very little to no time at all in the u20s at the club.
