If a player ranking system is not on the agenda for the 13th April, it should be!! The lack of transparency of the existing provisions means it is highly unlikely clubs abusing them will be caught out unless someone in the know spills the beans.

You'd think the executives of the comp would door knock Brighton if they land him!
Agree. Although I think in this case if the Tonners land Rummans it's black and white!If a player ranking system is not on the agenda for the 13th April, it should be!!

A few weeks ago there were rumours circulating over here of, first, Sunshine and Sunshine Heights merging and, second, that Sunshine had been encouraged by the subbies executive to consider merging with Yarraville. I have already posted that both Heights and Sunshine refuted any suggestion they were interested in merging and, also, that Sunshine's president told me he had recently submitted to the subbies executive the club's 3 year business plan. That doesn't sound like the action of a club considering a merger. In any event, what would Sunshine bring to the table in respect to a merger with another subbies club?
Rummans would be a 800+ run player in subbies, would be great for the comp.
Surely not? Gue$$ Brighton have him thenRummans has been looking for options for a season or so, has even been talking to SECA clubs. Word on the stree is that 60k and a job would get him.
Tweet from Paul Amy is strange. Would you indicate what club you'd move to "if" you're going to retire? Must be big coin involvedOff to Caulfield if he retires. Not a bad replacement for Damiano!
Agree, Sunshine merging with another subbies club would mean nothing more than a place to hang some old honour boards. Personally, I reckon they should look at the VTCA, not play top division, go back to three teams, and try to build from there. It will take more than 3 years for them to become competitive in subbies. With no money, they will need to focus on their junior program to unearth 1st XI standard players. Even if they can identify and develope these players, will they stay when they are getting smashed each week?
Rummans has retired from St Kilda CC. What a career. No announcement from Caulfield.Definitely huge coin. Interesting to see people having pot shots at Brighton when some clubs have been doing it for over a decade. Thorne? Rummans? Warren? How does that add up? Thats just one example.
What strong clubs do is retain the 'paid' players even after they've stopped being paid.
To be honest people are naive if they think lots of clubs don't have 3+ players on the pay roll. Tell me the last two Premiers in the South East haven't had more than a couple. Please. Get serious. Also where is the line? No subs? Match payments? Free gear? Business deals? Accommodation? etc. etc.
I'm all for a points system- but is it too difficult for clubs without strong junior set ups?
We've heard it all before.

Yep. Deal is done and what a huge get that is. I have similar mail to that effect but I doubt a strong club like Caulfield would appoint Thorne without the backing of the blokes he plays with. Seems we have an early premiership favourite for the North/South group in 16/17!Paul Amy reporting Rummans to Caulfield, congrats to them on securing an absolute A grader. Makes the Damiano move understandable but I am confused as to why Thorne appointed Captain. My mail says he is not well liked...
The execs have made a U Turn at South Rd and are now heading for Caulfield Park for a please explain!!

Great post. Presumably Warren has reverted to amateur status to allow his great mate and the new Captain to play as the 2 professionals. Does not really matter as it makes the competition stronger. Good point about Junior development. Some clubs have minimal interest.Definitely huge coin.
