[QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3524482, member: 9052"] The chequebook style requires a good set of juniors coming through behind them. It's unsustainable to keep paying overs to bring players in, unless you're the rorters, so you need to be able to supplement the new recruits with good juniors coming through, that build on those big name signings. With Newcastle they bought Ponga, but they keep losing the best talent from the area to everyone else... Latrell, Cordner, etc. are from the area, but they never seem to end up at the knights. Tigers are talking up their current crop of juniors coming through, so we'll see how that ends up, but Bula looks a very good talent. The Tigers big challenge will be locking up a player like him, who they can possibly build around, but that is easier said than done in the competitive Sydney environment. Their next big obstacle will be hoping that a halfback is coming through their current crop. It's working at the moment for the broncs, because we do identify very good prospects, but we needed the leadership around them, because that's how it always worked for us. Our challenge will be ensuring Patty, Walsh, Haas, Riki, etc. form a new leadership group and culture at the club for the next crop of juniors to come through... at the moment they are all still very young (all of them are sub 100 games), and Reyno and Capewell are nearing retirement, so they'll need to step up soon.
