Came across this.
On one hand, head exploding that the Crusaders can achieve this in a foreign country, but "crickets" from RA.
On the other hand, it looks like a great partnership with the University of Wollongong that should be encouraged and replicated... if we can retain the players!

Appears searching the testimonial from Caleb Beams he is/was a Pally player, any intel Fulvio or others?
"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
Caleb, his father and grandfather (both originally Kiwis) played first grade for Palmyra.
He left for Sydney to study, and presumably to take up this program, a year or so ago.
I may see him or his family at the club's Christmas sundowner this afternoon. If so, I'll ask how he's getting on and let you know.
If you do see any of them, Fulvio, and if he did head to UoW specifically to enter the program; it might also be interesting to learn how the Crusaders reach out to young prospects like him. Probably just the local Kiwi grapevine working.
