I know of three players leaving smithfield and they are quality players.
But i dont care we are div 6 and smithfield are div 7 (? maybe) we have worked our way up and know we get to play all other clubs that are A and B grade no C or D grade for us anymore.
Don't take things personally BPwizard, the Div 7 forum is full of excitement and innuendo. You have done a fantastic job at the Owls over the last 2 years and deserve a crack at Div 6. Half your boys left Smithfield for a reason and frankly, I have found most of them to be your strength. I guess they were looking for a more disciplined enjoyable environment.
They left Smithfield before BPwizard got there, they left Smithfield because Paul Oldacre was appointed coach over Steve dejager who was the B Grade coach at Smithfield at the time. Steve took on the newly formed Angle Vale A Grade coaching role.
Paul Oldacre was a strong disciplinarian which a lot of the players didn't like, Steve was more of a mate-like coach which was why the players followed him out to Angle Vale.
You made a nice story though.
