[QUOTE="donmcdazzle, post: 579493, member: 44093"] The NRL has a lot to answer for in that regard; they can offer pro contracts out to schoolkids and lock them up before a union gets the chance to see them at anything other than 1st XV level and they have way deeper pockets than our provincial unions. Apparently Konrad Hurrell was a superstar for some Auckland school, Ngani Laumape was awesome, so that's two backs just from the Warriors that could have been in the mix over the last couple of years. There must be countless examples in the development systems of all the Oz NRL teams too. [/QUOTE]
