And as we speak - the Panthers have started a Dynasty due to their junior system....The argument is that you can be successful like the storm without all those penrith winning junior teams that also become other teams targets
The storm had only one feeder club and were also fed by smart recruiters
They did not have all those winning junior teams that penrith have
But yes - you can be successful without a great junior system, but to be fair Bozo, it has to be a benefit to have strong juniors growing in your own backyard.
Here is a quick story my friend.
I always remember being in trouble with a girlfriend years ago and went to find a flower to pick from my front garden....but unfortunately there were none.....so I jumped the fence and stole a Rose from next door and the neighbour busted me and I got in trouble.
Moral of the story, it;s always best to grow them from your own backyard
