Fuck Scrubber do you read any earlier posts?
How is their production of talent a problem? I don't see them failing to fill roster spots at all - theres players out there.
Their problem is their inability to produce local fans. You can say winning helps that but the Waratahs hardly sold the joint out winning the competition.
You can always import talent. You will never not be able to find professional rugby players. You will never go broke simply because of results.
Fans and corporate support are the issue. Winning does not just resolve this. Look at the Waratahs, look at the Melbourne Storm. Winning has not resulted in financial security. The Storm after being successful from inception are still not sustainable almost 20 years later.
The Richmond Tigers despite alienating their fanbase in a QLD Reds manner in the 80s and making the finals less than 4 times in 30 years are quite successful.
Fremantle have never won a premiership in their existence. Despite this they have close to $10M in net assets and sit in the middle of the range for AFL profits.
