from what i have seen in the first round of games so far there is a definate divide in this comp. we have teams that buy players in, we have teams that try to produce players and we have teams that are just hanging on by a thread. so i ask these questions to you guys to gauge what can be done or if my thoughts are right.
1. wanneroo apparently have a big money man. not so shrewd this year with buying players tho. why isnt there a limit on imports on all the clubs in w.a. i have watched most teams this year and everyone has imports of some kind. rockingham made theres captain last week after being at the club for 3 weeks. how did the other players feel about that?
2. the standard of reffing is poor. not every ref is on the same page. all refs need to be reffing on the same laws and same advantage line. you have one ref one week who is strict and likes cards the next week you can get away with murder. why is this?
3.i have played 4 premier games this season. not many of the other teams seem passionate about playing and winning. dont get me wrong no one like losing but i bet alot of players are happy with the match fee. why dont clubs get players that WANT to play for them and not because of the MONEY.?
4. the divide in the league between bottom 4 and top 6 is big. teams such as cott, kala,pally,wanneroo,soaks,neddies, are the benchmark. the other 4 need to be up to this standard for the comp to be stronger. yes they have imported players in but there is alot of talent around its about finidng it. would it make the comp stronger to make it an 8 team comp and offer clubs the chance to join forces for example maybe wests and uni? not sayin this is to happen but any teams in the comp could do it to limit the teams.
5. finally i was speaking to a fellow player who is in a premier team here that knew a mate of mine in his home country. he said he was playing for ??????? so i said why. he said they were paying him $15000 dollars sign on fee plus match fee plus car. would he be there if they didnt offer that.
thanks guy sorry about the rant but i wouldnt mind hearing your thoughts on this subject.
