Follow this league a bit from a far these days, but didn’t All Blacks win the flag last year? To fall all the way to wooden spooners is a massive decline. Obviously the almighty $$$ has something to do with it but couldn’t be the only factor??
I posted the reason for the decline some months ago. It’s there if you wish to look. $$$$ don’t come into it.
That’s exactly right. Now look at the slightly larger picture. All 3 clubs that rely on the pool of players available are in the same predicament. Blacks, G’bat and Saints.
Bigtime and it’s going to get worse
Supporting 3 clubs plus Violet town, Dookie, Greta, Moyhu and Tungahmah are always sniffing around as well.
I’d love to hear navybluemans thoughts on this
Stuff Benalla they’ve made their own bed now bloody lie in it. Got a bunch of money hungry grubs as recruits now you dimwits are crying poor. This is what’s killing clubs , they could’ve at least attempted back it up and slowly slide but it was rock bottom in 6 months. You want to know the secret to sustained success and multiple cups, it’s bringing in loyal blokes with. Connection to the club. How can you play for the jumper when it men’s nothing to you. You’ll be dust by 2025 and twirling your bloody thumbs wondering why. My advice, get in early and call a merger, anyone that’ll listen, Mel la
And his sons will be contractually able to play there in 2024!!!
Came to town looking for a coach in the last couple of years.
Maybe players need to think twice before signing 2 year deals, clearly shows they are binding. Sour grapes because 1 got dropped from the 1s,
Bit of a s**t go. Blokes missed out on a year of footy!
Re Normo, yep we did true and encourage him to come back on two occasions. When the whispers of him leaving Rovers started but that was quickly shutdown when we couldn’t find a block of land to sweeten the deal.
Greta haven’t recruited one player form Benalla area in the last 7 years…
