[QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3044170, member: 1899"] I don't think so. The Broncos haven't been keen on the idea ever since the Clydesdales went bust. Even before that happened, Brisbane had been picking players from Easts and Redcliffe for years, so the idea of spreading the talent around seemed like a foregone conclusion. With the current salary cap model, I can't see that changing. The salary cap used to be flexible enough that clubs could entice fringe players to their feeder club with the opportunity to crack it in the NRL. Now the process is more complicated and arrangements have to be made for those players to get an opportunity. It makes it difficult to entice quality Queensland Cup players to the club. Ideally a Queensland Cup side should have core players like Cameron Cullen or Jack Ahearn who are the key players for their side without the pressure of being plucked by an NRL side. With a dedicated feeder, you run into the problem where all the stars get plucked by the NRL team and what you're left with is a bunch of BRL players and 18 year-olds. As Aspley discovered in 2007, it can get ugly. The current Queensland Cup arrangement isn't to blame. The Broncos issue is the make-up of their squad and changes have to be made. If Seibold isn't active in the market, then the Broncos aren't getting out of this hole. [/QUOTE]
