It's a bit harsh saying they missed Folau, he was living in Logan at the time.

He moved to logan at 15 years old, broncos give "scholarships" at 12 years old, he debuted at 17 years old where in that season he won rookie of the year and broke the try scoring record for a debutant in a season. At 18 years old he debuted for Australia. I'm guessing his talent was pretty obvious.... But it does't matter anyway, the talent and potential in that area is amazing. If they had a half decent development system they would be a powerhouse in the nrl...

Awesome, where do I sign up........
O'Sullivan signed him in Toowoomba at the U15 Championships so if he did show skill and promise no one saw it.

Thats exactly what I'm pointing out. He lives an dplays in the west's tigers district and nearly immediately after moving he gets spotted. Not exactly a sign of a great development system... But again, one of many missed in the area by the tigers
dream on mate Seibold walked in after all the work was done by madge

SQUAD REWARD FOR BRONCOS ROOKIE
The Broncos are set to reward boom rookie Xavier Coates for his man-of-the-match performance in the under-18 State of Origin with a place in their full-time squad next season.
Centre/winger Coates was a standout in the junior game, scoring a try and setting up several others in the Maroons’ 34-12 win.
The Broncos have signed Coates on a three-year deal and blooded the 18-year-old in a top grade trial against Souths Logan in February, where he looked right at home.
The teenager is playing in the Queensland Cup against grown men for Tweed Heads and looks to have a huge future in the game.

Strong chance of taking Isaako's wing spot if he doesn't start to perform.
So Tony, a player you've never seen play, know nothing about but heard he did well in U18 might be included in the NRL squad in November.
He's played one ISC game too mate.
Truly enlightening reporting.

Mate, you can't keep them all. We have obviously chosen Dearden as our long term halfback, you can't expect everyone to stick around.

I know but f***k me. Putting all our eggs in one basket IMO. We have so much depth of halves finally coming through.

You kinda have to do that. You can't just stockpile every young half that shows promise. You do what Melbourne does, pick one and develop them.

To be honest, that's what the Roosters are doing right now, they have like half a dozen of them.
