What seperates Ashton from 'the other three'?
Ashton was good, and was missed.
SL players like Sculthorpe and Harris? Unfortunatley, the emergence of that crop of players coincided with us entering into a rather large financial blackhole, hence their sale and effectively dismantling of the junior set up..
Everyone has reasons why they don't produce young stars - at least, the clubs who don't produce them do. I'd guess most other SL clubs who fail at this task would argue they also lack the cash. But that doesn't solve SL's essential problem that there aren't enough youngsters being brought into the game - especially when some of the clubs concerned then go and spend a fortune on the likes of Gleeson, Morley, King, Carvell, etc.
As I have mentioned elsewhere, competing with RU monies it is nigh on impossible. But that doesn't suit your propaganda.

I'm guessing you don't see the irony in this paragraph?
