If the league (not posters on SAfooty) are worried about them then do their research and discuss it, but if they tick the boxes to be in Div 6 then they should stay there.
Whilst generally i'd agree, I think given some very lobsided scores in divisions in recent years, the league should be more vigilant in doing what is in the best interests of the competitions, and in turn the clubs.
I am aware that the league are doing research and keeping an eye on Greenies as it is, but far out lets be serious, the writing is on the wall - they were pumped religiously last year, they've lost the entire top tier of their player base, they're getting a dozen on the track and their recruits have almost all come from a mid table D7 club in St Pauls.
They were smoked by D7 side Lonsdale in the trial, their best players on the night were Lonsdale players loaned to them - how are they going to stack up against West Croydon, Trinity, Elizabeth in D6?
