"A soft cap would help level the playing field, and help us on the 'big name" recruitment side, even if it's impossible to ever have a truly level playing field and players look for many things besides money.

"Good blog, Bluey. Your concerns are fair. Where we differ is what “all in” means. I don’t think we are "all in" only on juniors. We are "all in" trying to improve across the whole footy spectrum.
We have got plenty of recent imports. Iongi, Walker,…"

"Bingo. I've been in media boxes and overheard well known journos saying they've made up news because they didn't have anything. Or the journos do no digging beyond asking the manager. And managers will say whatever they need to get their client a…"
"We shouldn't need to go to the Central Coast. But if Easts are using that area as their predominant development area, they should be relocated there. Same with Melbourne. It's a joke having a team planted in a geographical location where they don't…"
"While the focus is on juniors, as that is where you can offset the likes of the Roosters who poach talent, and close the gap from a salary cap perspective, we don't turn our nose up at recruiting externally where required.

"Melb are only seeing some locally produced come on now; we all know Melb is not RL; Easts the same and while frustrating they saw the Central Coast and pounced when others like us didn't."
"His yardage is his best trait. As long as he fix his error count and gets more invovled in yardage he will dramatically improve. His meters per carry is pretty good but he just doesn't do enough of it during games."
"Yep, it's been a disgrace for years. Manly pulling players out of Blacktown is laughable."
"Well remember when the Dolphins were coming in and Melbourne bitched and moaned about their main junior base of Redcliffe and Central Queensland would be taken over by the Dolphins? They leaned on Queensland heavily and still do today."
"Melbourne have zero players who are 'locally' developed. Easts have bugger all. There's the problem with your suggestion. "
"From players who live nowhere near their Eastern Suburbs area. It's a joke that teams like Easts, Melbourne etc. have to rely almost solely on development areas nowhere near where they are based.
If they have to develop in other areas, move the…"

"What if the NRL set up a system where players who are locally developed and make it to 1st grade, those players are exempt from the cap? That would force clubs to develop more from within rather than poach from other clubs. Just a thought."

Reliance on Juniors as our Pathway to Glory vs Signing Talented 1st Graders
In recent times, it is becoming obvious that the power brokers at the Eels see our junior pathways, as our path to future glory and probably rightly so. We see new full time coaching staff / Eels scouts across the country and scholarships for…

That is a good euphemism for what life is like at this moment in time. Lots of emotional baggage we are all carrying in a mentally challenging world Maybe something worth going through to take us to another much simpler world. Going through tough times sometimes is necessary to make us realise that it's not worth continuing on a treadmill which is not getting us anywhere.
That's the way I want my Grandson to live all the time Slugg. At the moment I can identify with the other guy more than I want to.
Looks like Junior Paulo.
Looks like my local pub bus on the drop off home. I'm the one top left with the white face mask.
