I read alot of guys bagging the likes of Virgilli and NPL level players. But seriously where are the jets going to get their players???? Heard of the salary cap??? I say use the money and get a good foreigner and give a young aussie kid a go.
We had a squad of players that were youth reps across the board. We gave young aussie kids a go and our coaching sucked.

Biraz
Neville - Chapman - (Jackson) - (PlusOne)
Kanta - Beard - (Cowburn)
Hoole - Taggart - Goodwin

In my mind, this is exactly the sort of squad we should be assembling on a regular basis. It's the only way to be financially viable outside of a capital city market - recruit youngsters, fill the gaps with quality imports, sell youngsters for profit. You'll get the occasional player that never amounts to more than an average to good HAL player (Kanta may be a good example of that) and they will be your long term club heroes you aim to keep forever.
