How do you guys feel about the way we recruit? Is it fraught with danger by paying massive dollars to guys in their late 20's (ala Bell, BK and Ox) to make our team competitive for 3 years or so? Or is it better to use the money to entice young players to our club before they've made their big breakthrough. The most successful teams of recent years (ie Dogs, Panthers, Broncos, etc) don't seem to pay big bucks for big name players. Most of their good players seem to come up through the ranks, either through their juniors system or purchased at a young age. Where should we be heading with regards to this? Is it a matter of a mixed policy?
