It is the Melbourne model, recruit from everywhere other than where you are based.
NEWS Reece Walsh sells his soul to Warriors. No big deal.

works pretty well for the Roosters too.
That is everyone's model- how many Brisbane players from Brisbane tonight?

Of our QLD-born players only Niu, Bullemor and Carrigan came through the Broncos system into first grade.
Where they were born and represent:
Turpin: Brisbane
Milford: Brisbane (Samoa)
Carrigan: Brisbane
Niu: Brisbane (Tonga)
Bullemor: Emerald
Croft: Dalby
Flegler: Innisfail
Isaako: NZ
Te'o: NZ
Glenn: NZ
Riki: NZ
TPJ: Sydney (Tonga)
Asiata: Penrith (Tonga)
Kennedy: NSW
Coates: PNG
Mead: PNG
Farnworth: UK
Obviously this is slightly disingenuous as some of the other non-QLD born players made their first grade debut in Brisbane.

Maybe we're playing the long game. We've already helped **** up the Dragons and Titans salary cap, now the Warriors. If we keep it up eventually we'll be the only team left with any money to buy and retain players. We should be using our financial advantage to sign all the juniors we can knowing that when they come near first grade the other clubs will be paying 200k more to poach them than they would have to offer if they were already on their books as juniors.

We would have had 200k of development player funding available, but this could have also been spent on Alex Glenn already. It does confuzzle me how how would leave broncs to Warriors. Brown is an OK coach and the club wont be near a premiership anytime soon. Next year will be back to regular travelling for them...I wouldnt take it even if they offered me 200k more. Just bamboozled by this the more i think about it.

Except he won't come, I wish the club would stop embarrassing itself chasing him.

Because they want to be coached by him ... he won't be coach
Pretty sure you are right tbh. Some Titans fans noticed Gould was on the GC a few weeks ago and were concerned as there wasn't exactly any warriors related footy here. Doesn't Walsh live down here too?

That someone is Nolan and he's deserved a few pineapples from about 2017 onwards
