Have heard today that Nick Cowburn was not offered a Yoof contract where he would get his 45-50k a year and be part of the senior squad for next season training FT as has been widely believed to be from reports in the media this week
Have heard he is being offered a Yoof contract i.e. The same one the rest of our yoof team is on ie $100 a week and match payments for HAL appearances
If true a ****ing disgrace from these clowns
This club gets more hatable all the timeQuote:

The club list respect commitment and community in its values.
Bulut?
So does the Brothers for Life so no problem😜Quote:

Whether Cowburn is too old is irrelevant. 10 appearances and 12 vacant squad spots says he should get a deal. Not be expected to live on peanuts and be used by the club as they see fit.
What's to say next year the blokes making him these promises are still here to keep their end of the bargain or are even prepared to keep their promise being they can't be trusted??
Basically they are treating him like a chump and giving him no reward for his efforts.

No offence to Rad Pav but if he is full time then so should Cowbie, I couldn't blame him for leaving this circus.Quote:

There is no obligation by the club to confirm this type of contract, often they say they have just signed a full time contract, but Lundy confirmed this himself and so did the Jets when he signed on. The Herald has published stories describing Lundy on an apprentice contract.
Pavecevic will be on one too given the 2 year deal for a youth player. It means nothing that they permanently train with the HAL squad, it's just another type of contract but one that garuantees min HAL wage (50k or there abouts this year).
$50k? What's the poverty line, why would you botherQuote:

It is easy too opt out and go to NPL to earn a few extra dollars short term. 90% of theses kids will not proceed but will be lead to believe there is hope only to see the disgrace of a club that continue to promote or give opportunity to outsiders.Quote:

Apparently next in line when Stubbins misses out on Bernie and Mclaren
Pfft...Don't need them...We've signed the 2nd leading scorer from the Tasmanian all age comp.Quote:

Sure that will make the kid feel right at home when he goes to training busting his arse for peanuts and his teammates are getting paid 10 to 20 times more than him for the same effort and have some security for their lives.
Maybe we should put all our players on one of these Youth contracts then and open up a cotton farm FFS
The standard NYL contract earns about 5k from recollection. Does anyone know if the NYL team additionally earn more for playing in the NPL outside of the NYL season? I am assuming they do.
Most people earn this at a drudge job. spose you pay this in tax?Quote:
