haha 1200 for burgyone, 800 and 700 hundred for two more plus what there paying everyone else. another hamley bridge on the way?
Don't think Burgoyne is returning in 2011. I agree Westy crazy money, but I I still think the clubs can't afford it, which is why United and Virginia are making a mockery of country footy in this league by getting wealthy sponsers the pay the players directly... and they still never seem to learn that it never brings success. It creates a totally inefficient team environment and creates division amongst the playing group. Makes it all the more satisfying when they loose!
Good points there swamp but unlike TW, Malllala and Balaklava who have a very strong junior base coming through this is what they ahve to revert too. Rely on short term gain with money spending coz they dont have the crop of juniors to support the seniors. I do though have no remorse for clubs running out of money though when they do spend. a.k.a hamley bridge
