Quote: gutterfax "I agree....as it is, the U20's isn't the main production line for the senior comps, but it will be. As more money becomes available to the clubs (see dm's posts regarding TV deals) then the clubs will be able to commit more time and effort into these kids and less will slip through the net. Also, stepping up from U20's to senior level is usually only achieved by real superstars.....'"
DM doesn't know what happens at clubs.
It will stay as it is with only say 2 or 3 kids on average per year getting first grade contracts and even then not likely to play first grade. Don't listen to the News hype. Not much has changed since it was called Jersey Flegg in NSW, but as it's the NRL comp now, it's overhyped and all over the News Ltd media.
