Ryan said:Both Cliffy and Willow have had two shocking years results wise, dangling at the foot of their respective tables.
I STILL believe we should just get rid of reggies and our junior grades, and have that affiliation with the Sunshine Coast.
Waste of time, resourses & effort as it stands to be honest.

Getting rid of Reggies for an affiliation in QLD I can understand but why would you get rid of the junior grades??

Duff said:If we want to be a real "bred not bought" club, we have to keep our lower grades within the structures of the club. They have to be part of the system. The Q cup thing is just a myth to make Queenslanders feel better about selling out their real clubs to support the Broncos.
Only three teams worth of potential first graders play in the Q cup, the rest are in reggies. That's the obvious logic.
Keep locals local. If NSW cup is so weak, why is it such a challenge for our lads? There's some pretty good players in that team but the competition was too strong.
As Shoe said, we don't want to lose local juniors to other Sydney teams because we'd have to ship them off a thousand k's away.
Worst idea ever. The Sunny Coast thing was done for financial reasons only. With an upturn in the finances of both the club and the game as a whole there is no need for it. We need to be building this club into a production line in order to maintain our success.

How do you think our current NSW cup side would go in the Qld cup? Do you think it would be a casual stroll to the grand final? How many of our current NRL side were in that Sunshine Coast team? I don't get to watch the NSW cup side, but it seems that we are weak. Honestly, the big myth, or dream is that there will ever be a club made up of born and raised juniors. It will never happen. There will always be imports and exports due to cash restraints, greedy managers etc.
Melbourne draw heavily on the Qld cup, Tim Glasby from the Capras has signed with them for a couple of years recently. I'm not pig headed or arrogant enough to say one comp is better than the other, but if it was at all possible, i'd want a side back in Qld.

It's not about being 100% locals. It's about keeping what you can and builing a club on that foundation.
So if Melbs draw on Q cup it's three and a half teams with a presence there. They still have a halfy with the Sharks, remember.
It's such a logistical nightmare to have the club split by so much.
If you aren't saying one is better than the other, why would you take the more difficult, less unifying option?
I think our team would do better than the Sunny Coast did this year.
Our 20's started to come good once the young blokes stepped up as well. We don't want to lose these kids by making things too hard for them to continue. They need to be able to see a direct path from junior reps to 20's to reggies then firsts. Disappearing up to bumfeck nowhere for a couple of seasons can't be all that inspiring.

Apparently Tooves was on the Big Sports Breakfast yesterday and said he wasn't a career coach.
Where have I heard that before?
