The issue of having players can be achieved by 2 things - catchment area and administration.
In Wanneroo's case they have admittedly not at the top end but they like Perth Bayswater and Joondalup have invested in kids. Their drive for this has led to the establishment of the new West Coast Junior Rugby Club.
Wanneroo have a good depth of Juniors (in particular Under 15's, especially Under 14's and below) in 6 or 7 years time these players will come into their own. Their time will come with the hard yards they have put in with the kids.
Just like Joondalup will be reaping the reward of their large juniors with the colts coming through next year 2 x Under 14's, 2 x Under 15's, a large under 16's and under 17's squads. Ecky the landscape of the future of Rugby in this state is changing because of the investment with the home grown players!
may I added BG the "Senior" clubs without no junior teams all of a sudden have 2 colts grades?

I won't go on with it but I think you get the picture about the investment some clubs have made in the future and some clubs haven't. I haven't got the space to post the U7 to U10!
