If our club paid that much for 1 player I'd drop dead, thats probably our last 2 years total payments. Have been experiencing a shortness of breath lately though, and pins and needles all up my arm.

Your kidding yourself Ace.

HWE making up for it this year though by the sounds.

Pins and needles???? is that from holding your hand out for too long Ace??

Na I usually get enough from United, im usually their best player each time we play them, that $500 does me for the rest of the year

Your an idiot!

Obviously this opens up the question, who would be the highest paid players for each team. my guess:

Hummocks - Thomas ($600)
Virginia - Geradis ($500)
Mallala - Southern ($600)
Two wells - Will Sansbury ($300)
United - Mills ($400)
Hamley - Burgess ($300)
Balaklava - Walker ($400)

I could be well out of the ball park but its just figures I have heard around the traps, I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong

Hummocks - Thomas $450
Virginia - Geradis and Johnstone $300 ea
Mallala - Southern $400
Two wells - Lee Allmond $Chiken Kiev game night
Hamley - Latimer $250
Balaklava - Walker $300
United - Davey $400

Watching the Pies smoke an again disappointing Bomber line up, this is in no way a prediction for this years APFL

Your welcome as long as you bring my charger...

Only seen 3 games all up when Greg Phillips (screw driver) was playing there. Good ball reader and vigilant, was more the type of ruck that gave handballs to running player around midfields and back rather than kicking it but when around goal had a crack himself. Got in best players each time was down there. Not sure what he would be on but he seemed pretty modest so my guess would be $200.

Very very very observant BenC, Im impressed!!! But.....how can you possibly estimate what a player is on after watching 3 games????? Is that based on the HB equation of paying "modest" players, $200 hey?? How many modest players do Hamley have playing this year?
I think you just blew all your credibility out of the water BennyC

Like i said, i went down there to watch screwy play. So when we caught up other than this football and premierships were part of the conversation. He conveyed these comments additional to my observations. If still in good condition, $200 for premiership playing rucks is modest i believe.

You can't do any better than give this forum quality information on what you've seen first hand. Not sure what the joke is either Benny, but since you obviously know what goes on in other leagues anytime you wanna come to United, we're always looking for quality observant people. Keep it in mind.

Not sure on either of those questions Shrek, might head down for a look, have only been to 2 trainings and not seen much of either so im not sure who's playing, prob an 75% squad id think, bound to be a few that cant play this time of year.

So how much did Hummocks pay him to stay? If you're forking out for recruits it's only fair to pay loyal clubmen like Samuel.

Think we gave him a great club atmosphere at a successful club where players dont have regular brawls with each other at the pub etc after games, I think he was happy with that

Can anyone recall whether their team has ever played a trial game on their bye on the first week of the season?

Dunno about that one. Prob not the ideal preparation given most clubs would have trials the 3rd and 2nd weeks prior to the season and then have a recovery week. Though given the 2nd week prior is Easter for those clubs this year, its prob not a silly idea, maybe a mid week trial under lights eg 10 days before.... Are Two Wells planning one the week before??

Apparently yes they are - sounds like it will be on the Friday evening since the league knocked back a request for a daylight Saturday 18th game.

Are you saying the league has control over the times in which trial games are played??

think i have heard about this problem before.
it isnt that the league controls the trial games
BUT because the season has started (on the saturday)

does make sense - it would be the same as letting a team play a trial game on the last round of the year so they didnt have a bye going into the finals.
