2024 Pathways Sides

Bruster said:
When we played the Sharks in round 22 we had 6 out of 7 in our backline from the reserve grade side. At the time the reserve grade had their own injuries like Illias and Hawkins as well. Yes, it's a real knock-on effect through the grades.
A side point to that game was that the commentary focused on Hynes being out as the injury issue, not half our team.

Is that why they call it the 'knock-on effect' cup?
 

The girls went down 40-4 to end their season I think they won 4 from 11 games.

The Sharks play the Bulldogs today in the Jersey Flegg GF today. It’s on 9Now. Max McCarthy will be playing for those who want to have a look at him.

Also the centre for the Sharks Talanoa Penitani has apparently signed for us. We have also signed one of their props as well. Not sure who it is or even if he is playing today. But a chance to have a look at some of these kids for anyone interested.

Interesting on the website that the club is asking for host families for kids from out of town which means we’re casting our net far & wide, not sure if that’s any more or less than usual
We seem to have signed a young prop from Perth, big kid for a young age, a long, long way to go but interesting none the less

Huge for U15. Good thing is he doesn’t look it in the photo, so big but in proportion.

The one disturbing thing regarding pathways is two very good junior internationals out of Keebra Park high who we supposedly have a relationship with have both signed for QLD teams, is it worth it? How much does the club tip in?

The reason we got the relationship was that we were willing for it to be non-exclusive. I doubt we put any cash in, would be more in-kind.

If the kids had gone to the rorters, then there would be more of an issue. Staying in Qld much less so. Who knows, the two kids may look to other clubs in the future and their favourable experience with us may be enough to get them over the line. Need to look both short and long term with these things.
 
Yeah, the QLD affiliations are just local storage houses for any talent we identify you’d assume.

Instead of needing to bring guys like Gray, Mellars and Le Blanc down as school kids, you can leave them up there to develop in and amongst their own support networks.

If you happen to nab a local product as a result of the partnership, bonus. But it’s not a case that we get every Keebra kid now.

Most of these kids are identified before they are placed in the schools.

Many schools such as Patrician Brothers, Matraville High Endeavour Sports High have rugby League programs operating, and to nurture kids you have to offer them incentives to attend those schools.

Yeah I didn’t think we’d automatically get every kid, not every kid wants to leave QLD & id never suggest we try & coerce young players but it’d be good to see something, or someone emerge, perhaps this year some will come down to play junior reps
