The ARU have to make some money somehow.

Have a look at the size of the cup for the new RugbyWA Cup comp.

They did cut the grass around it to make it look bigger.

We were already paying for a thief and a serial offender who took the coach down last year. What's one more idiot to the blokes at ARU head office.

We should rise up dammit....

Are you talking about Curtin fourth grade?

[beige]

Oh snap!

[sevenmile]

It would be interesting to actually see how many players have paid and if they had to prove it before taking the field
I bet 70% of the players have not paid there insurance

[palitu]

i think it is round 4 before they cannot play.

They would have to be the cheapest fees in town.$350 doesn't cover the cost to put a player on the field unless you have another income stream like outrageous bar prices to soften the blow. What club are you with again Palitu.

My understanding is that every player that goes down on a team sheet this weekend has to have paid the ARU levy of $115.No exceptions. We played hardball this season and have had 78 players pay up their fees in full. No fees in full, no game, simple. Heard other clubs in town were supposedly doing the same but folded under pressure from players threatening to not play.
Players need to understand that those that are collecting fees,helping with merchandise and rego forms are also volunteers and don't want to be chasing up players all season when they should be sitting down with a beer after training on a Thursday night.

Amazin', Westie. Just enough fully paid registered players for 4 sides plus colts ....

I've got a vague feeling someone might have already dreamed that one up.

That's true, but for some reason the basic premise was flawed
