Barrett is driving a junior program with a local school de la salle to send juniors to and fund the program similar to paddy’s at Blacktown and Penrith. It’s a great idea keeping local kids in the area and stop them being pinched. Also have dogs coaches run the program training coaching etc to help pathways. Also keeps kids being pinched to other areas and gives local and kids less fortunate bought into the program a opertunity in life. Similar to NFL junior programs. More great news

So there are multiple schools in the areas and there only going to one school?

There are already hundreds of juniors who already play league in the area lined up to be in development teams

It is like the riff. They have lots schools with a couple kids going to. But majority of there hood kids go to paddy’s. And the took on and beet Westfield this year. It’s a step in the write direction if you ask me. Getting combinations and growth together playing style what dogs want. But I see you point there will always be a splattering of talent around.

Seems like a positive development. Won't be widely known, but will be really important to the people involved.

Which school exactly do you know ?
De la banskstown or revesby
I'd be guessing Revesby seeing so many of their students played for St Christophers over the years.

St Christophers (rugby leage club) is based in Panania, and the primary school (St Christophers) also happens to be a feeder school into De La Salle Revesby. While players from a number of neighboring schools also play for them, there tends to be a significant number who attend DLS.

St Christophers and St Johns have consistently been amongst the strongest clubs in our junior ranks and produced quite a few NRL players.

St Christophers RL have their own grounds. Delaney Park at the end of River Road in Revesby opposite the national park and just down the hill from DLS Revesby also in Riiver Road.
