    Would find that very hard to believe given they are a squad of pretty close mates who get shitfaced before a game.

    Very strong rumours of another club in ZL3 however who offered one of the strikers at Suns to the tune of $5k to come over and play for them this season. In fact the player confirmed this to me when i asked him about it a week or so ago.

    Couldn’t be further from the truth. These guys are all mates from school that have come together to play for the club for kick about. They spend all their time at the pub and don’t even train, let alone pay players. Only ZL3 team throwing cash about is Croats, that I’ve heard of anyway. Raymond Terrace used throw some about when they were higher up the ZL pyramid. Not sure about now though.

    When i was at Raymond Terrace years ago, some 15 years ago now prob, we got a win bonus in 1st Grade ($50) and any local juniors coming up in grade would get their regos paid by the club which imo was a great incentive.

    Very hard to believe. Why would they when they already have the best front 3/4 in all of ZPL!

    We seem to carry on about clubs paying players every year and tbh it shouldn’t matter what division and what club, if you want to pay players and can afford to pay them then go your hardest. Every club should be able to incentivise players however they wish whether it be rego, win bonus or season payment.

    Over at Westlakes we do a rego subsidy system where every game you play, attendance to post match sponsor for drinks and training session you do is worth a set amount of dollars. If you attend every single one then you recoup the entire rego you paid out at the start of the year.

    The reason we did it this way is because it applies to every Zone League rego and not just first grade or star players. So it’s equitable and entices as many as possible to join us.

    I agree, if you are going to pay players in ZFL so be it, own up to it.

    That incentive is brilliant, a great way to attract juniors to play up in grade but also for post match sponsors etc

    You mentioned us before along the same lines. Doesn’t take Einstein to work out who you meant.
    Maybe next time don’t be so gutless and name us.

    Don’t pay players but have offered other clubs money if they can take points of Azzurri on the run home. Sure they don’t pay players

    Newcastle $roatia all football mercenaries accepted. Bit different to the old days at mayfield juniors when we took every battler and reject around.
