Oh no he's back
Take a look at the under 16's selected into the state team for the upcoming National Championships.
How many players are represented from these so called powerhouses of WA rugby.

Uni x 2 only went to uni this year from Joondalup playing under 18's.
nedlands x 1 but he is playing for Wests Subiaco under 18's as Nedlands do not have a team.
cottesloe x 0
associates x 1
Wests subiaco x 2
Perth Bayswater x 1
Kalamunda x 7
wanneroo x 5
Rockingham x 0
Palmyra x 0
Only the outer suburban clubs are developing juniors along with the non premier clubs below.
Joondalup x 3
Southern Lions x 5
Mandurah x 2
Heard one of the first grade teams bought in 3 first grade players to boost up there forward pack at this late stage of the comp. If this is true it's pretty ordinary
Ah so it's true ,the roodogs strike again ,developing their own homegrown,yeah right
darkness,
Wake up. Some teams and clubs love to travel. It is my understanding that one of the Nedlands 4ths teams loves to travel to Bunbury, play friday night games at ARKs and a third grade team that went preseason to Kalgoorlie. If my memory serves me Nedlands 20's have been to Kalgoorlie a few times and your under 14's have also played in a round robin iat Denmark Ag college.
Soaks regularly go to Geraldton and Cott play against Navy teams on a regular basis. A trip to Joondalup or Southern Lions impresive new facilities is not the trip to the end of the earth of inconvenience that you suggest. There is a spirit to rugby that you obviously have never enjoyed. Join Curtin, Pally ,Cott or Neddies on an end of season trip and I bet you will see it all in a different light.
So that's 7 players from the 7 inner city clubs. With the 2 guys at UWA being from Joondalup, that is really 5 supplied by the 7 City clubs.
10 supplied by "District Clubs" (really 12) and 12 supplied by the 3 outer Suburban Prem Clubs. 7x Kala 5x RooDogs 0x Rocky.
That's 22 of 29 coming from the Outer Suburbs. Perfect - makes it easy to do the final Cut prior to the Nationals then won't it

In the case of Tristan and Jean Charl I think you would be hard pressed to say they were novices when they arrived at Joondalup, and underwent much developed there. I think playing at Joondalup was a location thing. Can you imagine their development if they had stayed at Joondalup and played 18's there now?.
Lions, and Mandurah, yes I'd agree to that.
I think you'll find Tristan and JC have played their butts off for Joondalup since at least the mid 2000s after arriving from Africa and only being 16 I'd suggest most of their Rugby career has been developed by the Joondalup rugby community.

For some reason (along with a lot of other players moving into senior ranks), they choose to go elsewhere. For me it's got more to do with location and licenses rather than development only as a lot of Mandurah players stay there and move to third grade. Also, I don't believe you are 16.
"arriving from Africa" tee hee.
