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