I thought I would start a new post of current stars and future stars that have been in the broncos backyard, and for whatever reason have now gone on to other clubs with bright futures. I understand they can't have them all but questions need to be asked on what is going on with the broncos recruitment and scouting.
I'll start with the obvious who are currently playing top grade. No doubt I will miss a few but this is a starting point.
Jonathan Thurston, played junior footy at sunnybank and went to school in his teens in towoomba... It doesn't get any worst than missing this guy...
1) D.C.E, was offered to the bronc's during his junior days in mackay. However he was told he was to slow and small, then he played colts as west panthers and the broncos vision was still short sighted. We all know how this kid has developed and how good he will end up being.
2) Dylan Napa, born in bris and went to school at shorncliffe, this kid played fr the aspley devils.. Whom I thought were part of the broncos feeder system... He will play origin in the next few years.
3) Sam Kasiano, Played juniors for norths devils. Again this is a broncos feeder club.
4) James O'Connor, of rugby union fame. Was with the broncos however they cut him for being to small.... His career has gone off the rails but he is worth noting.
5) Ill name these 3 together as they all played in brisbane, cameron smith, billy slater and cooper cronk... Enough said...
6) Chris Mcquuen, kingaroy junior who played for easts tigers and was picked up by the bunnies. has now gone on to play origin.
7) Josh papali, grew up in Logan.. Admittedly souths/logan have a relationship with the raiders however he lived less than 30 minutes from brsbane.
Future stars;
Moses Mbye, was offered to the broncos as a junior, he was told he wasn't good enough... Now looks to be the future at canterbury and an origin prospect.
Cameron Munster, was with the broncos however he was let go for whatever reason byt he club and went back to rockhampton. Storm swooped and is now being tipped as the replacement to billy slater.
Anthony milford, we all know his story. Grew up in logan... He is now on his way to the club, however via the raiders.
Brenko Lee, another from the south of brisbane. Tipped to have a long nrl career.
Cooper Bambling, rockhampton junior who was with the broncos, however due to internal politics he left the broncos and signed with the cowboys. He is still only young but is a player of enormous potential.
Sam Scarlett, went to school at nudgee. Not wanted by the broncos and was picked up by the panthers. Insider's at penrith suggest he will be there long term half..
These are just a handful of kids that I could name, but I am sure there is plenty more around.
