I thought they had 15 feeder clubs which will increase to 16 when the dolphins really get goingLooks like the Roosters have 2 feeder clubs, Nth. Sydney Bears, and the Roosters, both in NSW Cup, whats going on there ?
This isn't uncommon as all the Qld NRL clubs have more than one feeder club in the Qld Cup. Even the Warriors have a feeder club (Burleigh?) in the Qld Cup, as well as their own reserve grade side which plays in NSW Cup.Looks like the Roosters have 2 feeder clubs, Nth. Sydney Bears, and the Roosters, both in NSW Cup, whats going on there ?
correctIm pretty sure this is the last year for the bears being their feeder club because I think from next year they will be the Storms feeder club, dont quote me lol but I am pretty sure thats how it will be
I have heard from Blacktown people that the Reggies are going back to Manly for 2014 but no confirmation can be found.But we have Blacktown. That will give us the greatest team ever.....apparently. More failures from management and the owner to continue to just keep Blacktown, whilst many other clubs have a few feeders. So glad Fulton has gone as recruitment man, just need to get rid of Penn now.
DCE Sunshine Coast... shows you what a failure blacktown has been then, doesn't it. Where do you think the Storm get there players from????... Strong feeder clubs.Often these reserve grade arrangements are more about where you can park your top 30 players who aren't playing NRL rather than being some great feeder/development pathway.
Development is done via Matthews/SG/Flegg.
This is why I get amused why people get so riled up about Blacktown. They are there to carry to cost of running a team in reserves and filling out a squad.
Tell me a genuine, long term NRL prospect that has come through the Blacktown system. Not a Manly player who has played for Blacktown on the way but a player who started as a Blacktown player.
Was Veaga? And he is no long term NRL player.
On the flipside, those who bemoan, not looking after the Manly area and focusing on Blacktown.
If a Manly kid slips our net through Matthews, Ball and Flegg than it has nothing to do with Blacktown. Its just ba talent identification.
2014, got to call Doc and Marty to get that doneI have heard from Blacktown people that the Reggies are going back to Manly for 2014 but no confirmation can be found.
Sorry this is not correct and in fact stands testament to my point.DCE Sunshine Coast... shows you what a failure blacktown has been then, doesn't it. Where do you think the Storm get there players from????... Strong feeder clubs.
Is Michael J Fox driving the car to take us back to 2014 mateI have heard from Blacktown people that the Reggies are going back to Manly for 2014 but no confirmation can be found.
Which means the Storm model is way more successful. Ours has failedSorry this is not correct and in fact stands testament to my point.
DCE was identfied by Manly and brought in to to play Toyota cup for Manly in 08 and 09. He was in fact in the 2009 Holden cup team of the year.
He then played reserves in 2010 (and correct our reserves was Sunshine Coast that year) but He was not developed by the Sunshine coast. They did not feed us, our Manly player simply played a year there.
Same as Olakau'atu coming from Manly 21s and stepping through Blacktown. Blacktown didnt feed us Olakau'atu.
Storm a whole different model as a team without a real junior base.
OK, my apoligies, but he was identified in QLD...when was our last to come thru there? Actually who was our last superstar we have bought on from a kid.Sorry this is not correct and in fact stands testament to my point.
