No idea who's in it, I'll put up a poll eventually.
Hopefully this shuts you all up.

All eyes on Smithfield and their handful of new recruits.

Houghton have picked up a couple of HV lads that will be handy. Well, one of them will be. The other one will just be overpaid

I'm not sure how I feel about it.. More chance of success I'd assume, but not sure about that attitude. I think I'd rather compete at the highest level possible.

our clubs c-graders and d-graders are majority just blokes who wanna have a game of footy on weekend and a catch up run around on thursday night
to then affiliate them against highly tuned a-graders who train 3 times a week is a little bit unfair considering our henley c-graders are paying money to play against blokes who in most cases are being paid
if our environment or culture didnt require our blokes to play the driven sumpremely athletic opponent, I think you would find the participation rate at ourclub would increase dramatically
this I believe would be beneficial at all clubs with c and d grade sides who compete against clubs who are agraders. im sure the league is aiming for a full seperation

half of the dgrade premiership side were easily capable of playing cgrade but instead chose your 'mediocrity' theory and smashed out a flag just for 'fun'
not everyone is 23 years old, willing train a high speed 10km every week. not everyone, like yourself is striving or has the time to play division 1 agrade
these men hav families, are over 30 years old, they played more agrade division 1 than you ever will 10 years ago, plus theyre investing theyre hard earned money ($500 a year) just to have 'fun' on the weekend
now being thrashed by 160 points by an ingle farm outfit who train as hard as our div 1 agrade side certainly isnt 'fun'
this can be proven away from the club, with exactly how tea tree gullys cgraders (men tired of striving to play at the highest level) all decided 'to walk out' instead of playing division 6
so before u start spreading more nameless rumours on here just to get forum brownie points, how bout thinking about what youre real mates want and respect not everyone is a young buck who is happy to sprint 10km a week on the taining track
