I agree with you for a change
About time
Who do we all think the top 5 most valuable players are how much are they worth.
1. Remington - $800 per game
2. Goodchild - $600 per game
3. Matt Thompson - $600 per game
4. John Maj - $400 per game
6. Ireland GK - $400 per game
Just my opinion
1. Bloke who has a few National team caps- $percentage of Sponsorship/Canteen and Gate revenue.
2. Bloke who once lived in Europe - $see above
3. Bloke who got cut from the NYL- $see above
4. Bloke that's too old for the A-League- $see above
5. Bloke who thinks his should be in the A-League- $see above
6. Bloke that just wants to play at the highest level his abilities allows him- $see above
Pay them however much your club can afford without dipping in to little John Smiths parents pockets, with the promise of "Elite" coaching for little John.
Fair point
If a club though can raise thousands of $$ in money to pay players then some serious questions have to be asked then would that money be better spent into facilities/coaching/juniors etc rather than going into players pockets???
to be serious here, no one should really be on more than 500 a game max
Bring in a salary cap, good luck with policing it haha
Salary cap would never work, players would just get a few extra $50s in a white envelope after the match
The points system was set up to nullify this but after one year they changed it, the points system is now useless in its current form, instead of clubs signing 3 or 4 new players each year they would have had to delve into their own player list and promote players, this then gives at least 2 or 3 young players an opportunity, an opportunity which is now removed, why ?
Way off the mark...
Ireland is on $900
Maj $650
Palozzi $450
Wheelhouse $950 + his coaching clinics with Joel Griffiths soon to join jaffas and take a role in coaching his clinics.
Jaffas just offered Matty Paul of Adamstown $650 a game to transfer... there wouldnt be anyone at jaffas under $400 per week... do the math and think if its sustainable... but i do enjoy throwing my rubbish in their yellow painted paint tins when i visit Edden, much more of a challenge than Magic's plastic bins.
What about McPherson? Doubt he is playing for peanuts
Is this money being spent in the right way considering we're 0-6 in the FFA cup and 0-2 in the NPL finals since they've started!?
The players think so, but a very valid point
Parents should realise that in any sport if the kids are good enough money will never be an issue because clubs will accept the most talented kids gratis.
Hence, if it's going to cost you truck loads of money your kids most likely not good enough.
This is one aspect where Rugby League has it all over football.

Well that went straight over your head.
But none the less I do agree with you.
Elite programs for juniors in any sport more often than not funds wage claims for the senior teams - that otherwise would not be financially supported by their own revenues and sponsorship.
The wages of players in the senior team are a function of the gullibility of parents with juniors in Elite programs.
I'd like to think it's not the case - But it probably is close enough to the mark.
With respect to the players as long as they don't lose sleep over extorting juniors I don't see a problem with it.

That's over 50k for four players. With another 10 in the team sounds like this is a hefty wage bill. I'm wondering if the kids at Jaffas NPL Youth are getting value for money as it seems they will never get the opportunity to play for their 1st team. Of course what Jaffas are doing is totally within the local rules so there is no reason to criticise them for it. The question is again is it sustainable and are their youth teams being looked after or being used as a cash cow. I suppose and ethical question.
Oh believe me it's common practice amongst some NPL, NewFM and ZPL clubs and it's a absolute disgrace.
Assuming, of course, the numbers being bandied about are correct. Jaffas also have a fair number of sponsors, so who know how much they're raking in from sponsorships?
