They certainly do have a fantastic set up and culture. it is a reason why i bypassed ND for TTG. Combined with the fact that they had Pascoe x2, Wilson, Marks etc coming through i thought opportunities in my age group were limited.
there were certainly some other Barossa players involved with TTG at the time however the emergence of Gawler/Barossa players certainly gained traction as a result of a group of school friends from Trinity ie: Head, O'Hara, Cotter, Barraclough, Stibbs, Krieg. A number of the guys have returned to the Trinity Old scholars.
whilst Trav may not be the deciding factor, i would suggest that since he is a likable bloke who has achieved success grouped with the fact that TTG has a great facility, structure and culture that it would make TTG a desirable place to play cricket.
