Of those kids mentioned not all got full time contracts and only one of them is named to play 1st grade this weekend. In fact, Elijah Taylor is playing in the reserves:

Sam Louisi and Ben Henry are still in the U20's.......and The Storm reckon Niko is a star of the future

....as with the London SL Franchise experiment as some still refer to us, these things take time, but surely, as businesses, the clubs in the NRL and ESL will see the benefit of "growing their own"

I agree....as it is, the U20's isn't the main production line for the senior comps, but it will be. As more money becomes available to the clubs (see dm's posts regarding TV deals) then the clubs will be able to commit more time and effort into these kids and less will slip through the net. Also, stepping up from U20's to senior level is usually only achieved by real superstars.....

DM doesn't know what happens at clubs.

It will stay as it is with only say 2 or 3 kids on average per year getting first grade contracts and even then not likely to play first grade. Don't listen to the News hype. Not much has changed since it was called Jersey Flegg in NSW, but as it's the NRL comp now, it's overhyped and all over the News Ltd media.

...don't doubt your on the ground knowledge, but I think the numbers will increase.

I have had years of ranting about DH spending too much on development and not enough on marketing the club.....it has always been an unwinnable debate, because even though we are getting a few cockneys coming through the ranks now, we still have no fans to witess it. :D

...we will agree to disagree on this. I have no doubt you will be proven correct over the coming years, but I still say my business model of growing your own is the better one.

I'm not disagreeing with any business models or the like. I'm just aware that in the NRL, the amount of U20s making first grade is being hyped up due to the fact that they are now coming from another comp run by the NRL.

And as much as I previously found some of the things you've said in the pas annoying re the club and marketing I do respect your superior knowledge on the matter.

hugs all round. :D
