Illegal or not, pretty stupid thing to say to your players, I doubt if it would come from the coaches mouth
I'm quite sure Charlestown were suppose to play tomorrow and going on reports the ground was already average before the rain we had today
Is this right?
I apologise i was unaware of that and stand corrected.
So when player signings are announced are blokes essentially going to other clubs for no reason other than to play football?
I was under the impression that money was involved. If there are no written contracts then thats one thing but if players are promised win bonus' etc then its still a binding contract and they need to be careful even if it is verbal.
So blokes like Jobe etc dont get paid? Can someone please explain how this all works.
And Thursday
Well way to try and shoot me down. I was at the bank all day trying to get funding.
Even got a hold of Clive Palmer he seems very interested.
I spoke to 3 lakes players today and all of them said they have heard nothing about wages being withheld because of performance
Jaffas v phoenix, 2 all tonight
Jaffas better in the first half, one goal a penalty. 2-0 at half time.
Valo better in the second, a team not down on their luck probably would have won, missed a couple of chances including a penalty.
That should give a few around here some more burnsNORTHERN NSW Football has apologised to State League clubs about its handling of rescheduled games involving the Jets but says the club's coaching situation was not a factor in its decision.

The Jets Youth and Emerging Jets sides should have played round-13 games against South Cardiff at Ulinga Oval this week, in line with rules stating matches must be rescheduled to be played within 10 days of being washed out.
However, the Jets rejected two dates put forward by South Cardiff, and NNSWF gave the club dispensation from the 10-day rule.
The Newcastle Herald was told on Tuesday the Jets did not want to play this week because almost all of their senior coaches are away.
The apparent reasoning and decision to grant dispensation caused angst among clubs, who believe the Jets are given special allowances.
But NNSWF chief David Eland said while his football operations staff were wrong to grant the dispensation, the decision was not made due to a coaching shortage.
Eland said the coaching situation had "come up in discussions with the Jets", but the sole reason for Northern's decision was the A-League club's commitment to a trial match in Canberra on Monday and concerns over the youth team's workload.
"On reflection, it was the wrong decision, and I've reaffirmed with football ops that the Jets should have been required to prioritise their commitment to the State League," Eland said yesterday.
"We have gone back to the clubs today and said the decision had nothing to do with coaches being unavailable.
"The decision was made because of the trial game, but the decision was the wrong one and I've apologised to the clubs for that. We should never have given the Jets dispensation based on that.
"It was a mistake and it won't happen again.
"There was consultation with South Cardiff and they were apparently OK with what went on, but the regulations are there for a reason."
The games will now be played on July 25, a date which was confirmed after the Herald's story on the issue on Wednesday.
Eland said he had spoken on Wednesday to Jets chief Robbie Middleby, who fully supported the federation's stance and would have accepted its decision to play this week.
"This wasn't the Jets' mistake; it was ours," Eland said.
"They would have abided by our decision."
He said it was important to address the issue given problems during the Jets' maiden campaign last year. The changing strength of the Jets line-up last year, as trial games for the A-League season hit, was a bugbear of State League clubs.
Eland said the Jets Youth needed to commit to the State League and the federation was confident the same problem would not arise this year, despite the recent setback.
"The clubs were frustrated that the Jets side became inconsistent in their line-up when the A-League trials started," he said. "Many of the youth league players were caught up in trials.
"The Jets agreed that the trials upset the participation of the state league team but that was unlikely to happen this year because of the composition of the team, which is so young. We were happy with that response."

Meanwhile, Jets A-League coaches Gary van Egmond and Craig Deans will put Northern NSW grassroots community coaches through their paces in a master class series from next week.
Van Egmond and Deans will coach the coaches in five free 90-minute sessions on Monday nights from 6.30, starting next week at Jack McLaughlan Oval.
Coaches can register online at the Northern NSW website.
"There was consultation with South Cardiff and they were apparently OK with what went on, but the regulations are there for a reason."
This was the most interesting quote from the whole article.
Considering they were" told " and not consultated makes it very interesting,
Have heard pig go has told southy he will be coaching at azzurri next year. Can you confirm forever red and if true who will get the sought job
Word on the street that he will not be the only coach leaving there with a bunch of players next year.
Rumours
Heard Wayne bailey coaching Charlestown
Sorry, Scott bailey
Haha this is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.
If they are considering him after what he has done to the stags they are kidding themselves. Would of thought they would have learned after the whole foley saga last year.
You would think piggot would be the obvious choice...
By all the rumours I think piggo's coaching most clubs in newcastle, he will make his decision in good time, until then sit back and enjoy what will be a very close finish for the top 5 and first place
Please don't read my statement as criticism of Southy. I am acutely aware of how these things generally get 'discussed'.
