Who are the Norwood blokes Berri are chasing?

Nathan Tape and Tom Hyde both ex Norwood.

[Dogwatcher]

No, no, I've been told they finished up at Norwood this season.

Tapey's already done his Berri stint, a long time ago!

[Bum Crack]

Craig Balme

[drifter]

Michael Arbon

[200 Killer Wasps]

Ron Kneebone

[Peter Griffen]

Anthony Pierri, Glen Molloy, Mark Jones, Lester Ross and Jonathon Ross!

We're not chasing those blokes. Barmera had them years ago all in the same team and still couldn't win a premiership

Not all at the same time!! Jones and Molloy didn't play the same year and Johno didn't suit up at all for the Roos

Johnno did his knee playing cricket didn't he?

[SomeOleFart]

Johnno did his knee playing cricket didn't he?

Don't remember, but I do know that BM helped him with a shoulder recon, and his knee was dicky at the start of preseason and did not come up to scratch. I not totally sure of the exact details.

[Dogwatcher]

I'm pretty certain he was playing B grade cricket. The Pioneer did a story on it, with Mitch still involved at the Roos at the time, the bald badger would have been all over it.

Heard something about loxton A's not having a player cleared for the last half of the season and could be getting a rather large fine from the SANFL. Anyone else know anything??

Schubert?

It isn't Schubert but......
IF.....IF this is correct that an uncleared player has played part of the year, it would be a hugh f***K up on our league executives behalf to allow it to go so far. If it's true, this has cost BM and Waikerie the chance to play in a grand final, and Berri the chance to play in the finals series as loxton should have been stripped of all there points, prior to the season end.

This shouldn't be left with out some explanation and or action from the RFL. We need to dig deeper and find out more!!!!

I can see Mick Beech now hiding under his desk, maybe that's we he hasn't returned my calls!

Hey guys,
what are some of the pros and cons of the points system up your way, now that you have had a good look at it over a few years ?

Its not bad, not too many teams seem to be pushing the points limits tho. Puts a good emphasis on keeping locals around and keeping your imports.

[Dogwatcher]

Berri don't like it though...

[Baron Greenback]

That's mainly because most of their recruits have only hung around for a year since it was introduced (with a few exceptions of course).
It works in your favour if your recruits stay for a while, because they lose a point every season.

Think it's a little more complex than that, but I'm not going into it, I've put it out there before, we discuss it every year, it's not going to get us anywhere.
