Riverland Football Chatter

if a club is struggling for points the temptation will be to play a kid on the bench who has already played under 18's to get under the 14 allowed

I would say Renmark, Barmera and Loxton are in pretty good stead here.

the RFL has no idea. They need to provide the lower clubs from the previous year with extra points to make them competitive the following year. Unless you have some local guns coming back who are no points, the lower teams will still struggle. I don't care what anyone says, that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

It is not the RFL's system BC.

Ok, apologies to the RFL then. Whoever's idea it is needs a smack on the chops.

It may help that when clubs are recruiting they recruit with a plan in mind to retain these recruits.
This won't help in the early stages I realise that however with good recruiting, winning games, providing a good club environment should ensure retaining players is easier and reduces the points allocation.

That is sometimes easier said than done stun. This place is not exactly kicking goals when it comes to employment opportunities and it is only going to get worse.

[Dogwatcher]

But some clubs haven't exactly kicked goals with their recruiting either.
Here one year, gone the next....

That is not always the club's fault. You know what I think of the points system and my opinion will never change, unless they start look after the struggling clubs a bit more. It's also hard to keep recruits sometimes when you are getting pumped week in, week out. Stun mentioned that it is an opportunity for the clubs to recruit better etc and provide a good club environment. That's all well and good, but are these recruits going to hang around for three years of losing before they start to become a force again???? It doesn't matter how good your club environment is, if you are losing all the time, there are players who will not hang around. There is of course an excpetion to that rule, but not everyone is like this.

Well Renmark won the flag and now is it 12 have gone??

It is the brain child of the Community Football Board which contains reps from a few country leagues under the chairmanship of Glen Rosser.
A lot of leagues not happy with the CFB in total, some may even disaffiliate over it I'm hearing.

[bandar]

Is there a move by the CFB to standardise the points system across all leagues because the proposal I have seen from the SAAFL there is provision for a sliding scale depending on previous years position?

The SANFL are stipulating that leagues either have this new system or a salary cap by 2011.

Ah yes, but the points system is much easier to monitor and has less likelihood of manipulation so is very much the preferred option.

Yes I think so. SAAFL probably will have similar points available per season and the scale will be implimented if the trial goes okay and is ratified by the delegates.
I reckon some country leagues still have the "import rule" anyway.

Not quite that many SS.

Salary Cap has never worked. To much under the table.
I hear there was a meeting between RFL clubs and West Adelaide last night.
Anyone know what it was all about

Are the SANFL looking to stipulate the new system or a salary cap to save the SANFL (or at least Reserves competion) as players would be paid significantly more in Country Leagues than playing Reserves or floating between League and Reserves.

Spoke to couple the renmark boys on the weekend, 11 was the number used then...

West Adelaide are a bunch of tossers.

After the problem with clearances will the RFL be able to monitor a point system without the errors
