They would have been waiting a while.
Based on your theory, you would be happy for the WRFL to forgo $40/$50K in affiliation fees (ex Umpire & insurance costs) by getting rid of those Junior clubs that don't have seniors with WRFL.
The last time I looked, the WRFL were a Senior AND Junior comp. Based on your logic, no seniors, no juniors, then it should also be no juniors, no seniors. Maybe this would encourage those Senior only clubs to try and get juniors, like Lavo who are at least having ago.
Also, at least all these Junior only clubs are paid up, unlike some of the Senior only clubs that I understand still have outstanding monies owing.
I think the prevailing evidence is without juniors clubs will eventually fold and/or struggle so having both is indeed my point.
I’d hope that by the WRFL among a stand, as all comps should, that the seniors and juniors would fall into line and play in the same comp as they should.
