Have heard that the insurance issue for clubs and umpires may well have them backtracking on recent decision to not accept the stupid salary cap regulations.
Have heard on the grapevine that the BLG will accept the rules from the SACFL, but "nobody will investigate 3rd party payments". That means nothing will change for player payments, except it gets paid by a different source "that being a third party".
Having 3rd party payments "not investigated" means nothing will change, except it wont go through the club books. Nothing was ever going to stop country clubs paying players, so it looks like nothing will change after all. The SAAFL will be filthy, as their threat of a "ban on players" going to the BLG means nothing, not that it ever did, and players will still get the same payments. Players will be able to leave and get far more than in the SAAFL. A big Win - Win for the Barossa clubs and players. Very, very well played by the BLG clubs and presidents if what I'm told is correct!!!
