Is it the club paying a player though ??

If your giving money to a coach, and he is in turn spending it on players, then yes it is.

Disagree.

The club is paying an employed position... What that person decides to do with the money is his own business.

Its like Wizard of Oz paying OKC to be his friend

Regardless... The treasurer used that situation as a hypothetical anyway. Wasn't happening.

Cheque is in the mail i gather?

AHOS don't pay players either the club is in denial or the player that left my current club to join them is lying.....

This will be interesting..
There has been some strong words by Rainbow Warrior and co over the years that they do not pay and never will, including the additional joy of winning an A1 flag over a "known" player paying club...

Are you suggesting this is not true Heater ???

I never said noone has ever been paid, when I first came to the club I was offered incentives and received remuneration if I pushed the matter however what I ahve said is in my 7 -8 years I was treasurer no player was ever paid at least not out of club funds. I am no longer treasurer this year but my employee is and he could only be getting paid by an individual (ie out of coaches remuneration or another persons pocket) not club funds. I will stand by that comment.

Fairly sure that's paying a player.

This is the first year the coach has been paid too, has never happened previously. I highly doubt this is happening however.

lordrocco has risen again just like jesus did many moons ago, my ears have been burning the last few days, poaching players? i spoke to one player champ and by the sounds off it very touchy subject from your neck of the woods, its no secret pooraka are looking for a spin bowler and will look extremly hard for the perfect fit for our team.

moons

[lordrocco18]

and charlie i get paid with drinks cards fyi.

[Lightning McQueen]

I must say that I thought it was pretty ballsy of the Pooraka CC to have their big raffle last year, it could've backfired real easy, I was pretty happy with about 15 pints and an endless bbq aswell as the chance to win $10K, good to see them reaping the rewards.

[lordrocco18]

always welcome at pooraka Lightning beers are always cold and bbq is always endless and charlie plenty off drinks cards for you if you feel left out or jealous.

Heard out of the ATCA game that "Lord Rocco" was trying to recruit players for next year (during the game mind you) for when Pooraka are up in Premier League.

I know they are dominating A2 atm but would hope they are not thinking too far ahead and concentrate on each week as it comes

They are home, don't worry about that!
Pooraka and Unley are a clear 1 and 2 in this grade, they play each other in Round 9.
Pooraka are already 13pts ahead, and are going to push further ahead with a win this week thanks to the massive bonus points they will get from scoring over 500 after being sent in.
The two sides play 5th and 6th in Round 8, so will likely score a similar amount of points, meaning Pooraka is 15pts up going into the last game against unley. Even if Pooraka lose, they'll likely hold top spot, meaning they are into A1 already.
If Unley somehow pip Pooraka for top, they should easily account for any of Para Hills, Ingle Farm or Woody South to make the GF and get into A1 anyway (Assuming Unley win their semi).

I wouldn't back them at 20s to miss A1 next year!

One thing I did forget to mention is that money was on the offering to the players spoken to on Sunday, how much money is down at Pooraka at the moment with Illuminato, Stolcman, Bailey, Jarrett. Surely (other then Jarrett) they are not playing for the love of the club.

they dont call lordrocco gumby allen for nothing, always on the hunt.

Got to keep recruiting. If Pooraka or any other club go to A1 next year, or even stay as they are, you can still improve. A club or team that does not recruit or just stays still, is one that is going backwards.

Should be the job of every club, coach and key players to make their team stronger as each year progress, via whatever means is necessary. If clubs can afford to play players then good on the club and the players. Players are deserving to be played in sport, and if clubs can afford it then great. Some people think that players should not be paid. Crap. Good on the club and player if they can pay and the players receive a fair payment. Times have changed and good on the players who do get paid. If Rocco or any other player recruits players to Pooraka or any other club then good on him. Got to keep improving and those who stay still go backwards

Clubs are just jealous of the success and need to pin them for something. I know I would rather be in Poorakas position than where we sit currently (on the table)

Yes it would be nice to have a club where no one gets paid but I think the higher you go up the less realistic it becomes.

In saying that, I dont know how cricket clubs can generate the same revenue as footy clubs (bar takings, attendance etc) so to pay big dollars you either need club people willing to put their own hands in their pockets, very good sponsors.... or pokies.
