Greenacres throwing $200 a game at a Div 1 player and 2 B graders from Gepps Cross.
Someone once said on this forum they don't pay their players, I think this says otherwise.
I wonder if Gepps people went to Greenies for a look, would they find anyone worth approaching?
Or will someone come back with the old adage," we are playing for the jumper, playing with our mates" or something similar
You are a sook aceman.
Not that you'd be aware of this, mr clever, but for years all of the clubs in and around our area including Kilburn have had a 'gentlemans agreement', instigated by Kilburn's Phil Martin by the way, of not trying to poach each others players. In my experience over many years, all clubs except Greenies have abided by that, whether it be crap or not, your president was the driver behind the idea. Last year Greenies got 2, supposedly paid Philpott $150.00 until he broke his leg. A guy who wasn't prepared to work hard enough to make a fist of Div 1 so he took the soft option and left for easy money.
If clubs want to participate in 'open slather' then let the games begin.
As was said earlier, have they got anyone worth pinching, I think not!
