Any truth to this?

A lot of moving in the league, probably more going out than coming in from what I've heard!!


Not really surprising considering pretty much all of there A grade team has left. Unless the HFL give them lots of extra points they would have to be in big trouble.

When you don't put any time in to developing your juniors, and always look to buy in players from else where, eventually it's going to bite you in the a$$!!!

How many juniors do they actually have? I wouldnt think its too many considering they have had to get some from other clubs to fill teams.
What else do you expect them to do?

Haven't filled mini or junior colts without help for 3 years, last years senior colts required topping up each week from the club that had the bye.

Hearing a carload of blokes could be off to play somewhere in victoria also. Things not looking good for TV at all after the merger fell apart. Wonder when they will decide if they continue or not. Season fast approaching. Gonna need to pull a hell of a lot of players out of a hat to field a team if half the rumours on here are true.
