Hearing whispers that Balak have also signed ex Mallala player Aaron Cock$.
He trained last night. He hadn't signed but came out for a look. Don't know if he put pen to paper yet or not though.
Who would know
I'm sure he'll show up at more than one clubs pre-season training before April, I initially heard he was going to be at United MC, what happened there?
United have proven themselves to be able to be competitive without the points system year after year. In fact last year was the first year they havent played finals for a long time. If they do end up like Hamley have over the past few years, it would be due to massive mismanagement (like Hamley) and given the brains and personel at United I don't think they would ever let this happen. Hamley only has itself to blame IMO, unfortunatley the entire club has suffered over the past couple of years due to the rash recruiting decisions made by just a few people, I think United are above this. For the record I am not a huge fan of the points system as I feel things were rolling along nicely before hand. Yes there are cycles when some clubs are more dominant than others, but I think somebody else on here has pointed out recently that every club in the APFL has participated in a GF within the past 10 years or thereabouts. I think thats a reflection of the effectiveness of the import rule alone.
