What is PL Title worth to your Club and Juniors

With another PL season done and dusted I thought about what it means to the Club and more importantly Juniors.

When you go to watch a game there is hardly anyne around particularly juniors.

In the women you had the Tigers win with a stacked team of imports/players from other Clubs and no one form their junior program make the 12 on the day.

Yet they have no Under 18 Girls teams and an average junior program.

How many juniors could tell you who won this years PL title let alone any in the past.

West were better represented in the Men with Thomas, Kubank and other juniors but again what benefit will the Club get from this PL title.

Tigers men were very much same as their Women with a stacked team from with players from elsewhere.

What is the true benefit of PL success.

Really? Did you do any research before posting that? Been to every club's home games have you?

Very loaded post there with zero facts.

Southern is like a FedEx delivery.

They $$$$ a title, but that never arrived.

There is a photo floating around of Coach McLean from West after the game high fiving all the West juniors who did the floor wiping on the baseline. The kids loved experiencing a grand final close up. Think there is your 'worth' to a club! It's called inspiration and real people to look up too.

OP Clearly clueless. 8 out of the 12 Southern Tiger Men Played juniors for Southern. Much better than most teams.

Southerns budget was huge, Drmic was on $30k plus add what imports and Schencsher would have made. West lucked out with Oldham and he was very visible at club, often at junior games and always approachable, a true credit to game along with guys like Starling.
Shows that Corey did a great job with his squad and Nyberg wasn't such a guru, as said earlier their juniors are a mess and no reflection on premier league. His decisions in last quarter were questionable and lost a near unlosable game. But they'll just go back and buy another team.

$30k is laughable. Their entire team wouldn't have made $30k. Where on earth do you guys get this stuff from?
