Redbacks 2018/19

[ROOTA#6]

Also if Fergusion is going to be 100% commited to helping us go one better next summer, then he MUST give up playing in the stupid BBBL, that comp has clearly done more bad than good for Shield cricket.

So is anyone playing BBL not 100% committed to their shield side?

 

[The_Reaper]

If they want to keep Ferguson out of BBL just spend some of that Simmons cash to bring him to Adelaide

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

It's moronic to have a bye

Got it in one, that summarises the SACA perfectly. They also have a team which has no junior program and only exists through stealing players from other clubs. SACA have no idea.

Winning the Shirld doesn't mean much these days - Vics cricket hardly in rude health but hey we've won back to back Shields so everything must be ok 'eh?

He probably wouldn't have played for the Renegades either. You can't wrap guys in cotton wool, could have easily happened at a Redbacks training and no one would be whinging about it happening during the BBL.

I wouldn't know. When I was involved in cricket at SACA Grade level, the admin and selectors made so many mistakes I lost interest. Couldn't care less if Redbacks won the Shield or finished bottom, our input into Australian cricket has been almost negligible since Ian and Greg Chappell.

Got that right.

 

[hey shorty]

Got that right.

Joe Mennie played for the Hurricanes this year, can't tell me he wasn't committed to the cause. Franky Worrall too.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Got that right.

Don't be silly. The Vic players were in the Big Bash too.

 

[ROOTA#6]

Got that right.

Ridiculous point of view

Only because every other club refuses to allow said club juniors. Hard for clubs to penalise a club for not having juniors when the only reason they don't is the other clubs sticking up for their self interest. Completely understand why university are the odd one out in the eyes of many given the history of the competition and the 'university question' but do think it'd be a big loss if the grounds and facilities there were lost to the comp while some of the shocking setups remained. UQ finished runner up in the QLD grade with 7 FC players. USYD have a very successful setup with several FC players. UMelb have an established setup. University clubs traditionally go well without question in other states, just here it's always been iffy.

UWA (University) are also an integral part of the fabric in the Perth grade comp.

I reckon it's essential to retain these links to the Uni's. As you mentioned, the facilities are top class and there is a lot of history associated with these clubs. Poaching players is commonplace in our system with University being far from the worst offender. Guys are very willing to try their luck elsewhere if it gives them a shot at playing first grade.

 

[Daz]

Yeah Uni are a good and much improved club. Glad they remained.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Do the premier grade clubs in other states run junior teams? Or are they just senior clubs?

No SA guys on the CA contract list. As expected but still a shame. If you get a few guys on CA contracts it frees up some salary cap space. At least we have a few moving a bit closer to it.

2015-16 Squad
Benton
Cooper
Cosgrove
Ferguson
Head
Lehmann
Ludemann
Mennie
Putland
Raphael
Richardson
Ross
Sayers
Smith
Worrall
Zampa

Rookies
Andrews
Gregory
Nielsen
Valente
Winter

Who stays? Who goes? You'd think Jake Weatherald and Alex Carey are definites to get contracts next season. Maybe Elliot Opie. I'm pretty sure Gary Putland has retired. Winter might be too old for a rookie contract next season.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Get rid of Raphael, Ludeman and maybe Benton. Retain all the rookies apart from Winter and Nielsen (won't happen though).

I'd still hold onto Cooper for one more season, but if he gets poached so be it.

 

[t_94]

Heard Winter is gone and Page to get a rookie contract - source isn't foolproof but just what I heard.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Heard Page on a full contract!

 

[Skippos]

Heard the same re: page full contract. emerging young fastie will replace winter on the rookie list too. Surprisingly hearing Cosgrove out and Cooper to stick around. Also heard murmurs of a wicketkeeper being sourced from interstate.

Wasn't Page a rookie this year?

 

[Torz]

Strikers rookie.

 

[Daz]

Ok, well whatever it was, he was in at SACA training every day.
