Better Uni raiding from interstate/overseas rather than from other grade clubs I guess

Proposals to be put in to limit Overseas players, other States have a points system, maybe we need one here too. Think Uni had 4 playing at one stage!
Hope TTG and Port win the next two Sundays!
Hopefully Adelaide win the Two Day comp, they are following West Torrens lead by developing their young talent from their Juniors, we won with all WT Juniors bar Drennan, think Adelaide would be pretty similar. Sturt are the other team giving their talented Juniors a go.

Clubs would be stupid to propose this. Be careful what you wish for.
Limit the imports and Uni will be forced to go hard at the best 18-20 year olds in the competition.
Funding should be strongly tied to producing talented players though. Not exactly sure how

Exactly, when the other clubs block uni's attempts to develop their own juniors, then block the number of imports, they will have no option but to poach!

What today showed is SACA have to fix their Bylaws for 20/20 games with regard to rain. How the Duckworth Lewis system was not used is hard to understand. TTG probably still win, but Uni were severely disadvantaged.
And I think our Club brought up last year why their is no Player of the Match in the Grand Final like the other two comps. Matt Weaver would have won it, his batting was brilliant and he took the game right away from Uni with his clean hitting.

1. Match appointment based on tokenism rather than the best available, made 1 decision, 100% wrong, proved by live stream replays.

TC, I think it would more likely be the Mat Weaver medal, he has owned this competition for the last 7 years, hence 5 flags in that period. No BOG medal required, game too short, Gillespie Medal adequate for competition.
Question for you TC, if Uni had 3 state players available, could / would they have fielded a team of Zero South Australians. Would be an interesting reunion in 10 years. Not my idea of a club, but obviously others disagree.

2. DL is required, by law upgrade.
3. 13 overs bowled by Uni in an hour 10, disgraceful, and no it wasn't raining.
4. TTG with their ageing senior group totally outplayed Uni.
