Some people are S I M P L E.....

Good idea, create uncertainty, rumours and post it here so anyone looking at coming to the club don't because they are not sure if there will be a team or not. What ideas/help are you thinking you will get here? If you read this numnut's post keep in mind that he/she may not be from the club or not on the committee or anything like that.

Like all anonymous posts treat it with a grain of salt and dont read much into it.

To the best of my understanding that is right. However for SA only. There are interstate clubs who have only a men's or women's team who compete in the ABL (I believe).

However in terms of for the club is certainly is important that they do get together a team capable of playing at ABL level, not only for the men's team but for the good of the club as well. Not having strong seniors severely depletes the junior ranks, as better junior players move to other clubs before playing seniors. Its a catch 22. I think that although Centrals have a good pool of players geographically to recruit juniors from, keeping seniors in this area is difficult (moving closer to town/uni/work etc.), and enticing people to move or travel that distance on a regular basis is also difficult.

It is in the best interests of the league generally to have a competitive level across all teams, however finding people from other clubs/BSA etc. who have the time/inclination to be able to assist others is not as simple a concept. Understandably everyone wants their club to be as good as it can be, and if this happens to be to the detriment of another - its too bad. I would be the same.

Concerned, until you post your name you have no integrity, are just a rumour monger, no one can validate what you are saying.

Go and talk to the President, Senior Coaching staff or someone that KNOWS. EASY, get the facts and then its no longer a rumour. No need to ask the question here.

I personally think, my anonymous opinion, it would be better not having a senior Div 1 womens team than one that's going to get thrashed every week. I dont get the rule of HAVING to have a men's AND women's team in Div 1. Give the Women a week off when they play Centrals. However, I am anonymous and just like COncerned would not place too much credance in my opinion.

its interesting, u are all hounding this person but none of you are conferming if there will or wont be a team next year. makes people think that concerned is talking sence

joe blow,

Most of those State players ae already playing for their clubs!

113542, the problem is some rumours are self perpetuating. If you don't understand what that means go and ask you Mummy or Daddy.

know,

SASI players in the girls would be over committed as they train and play with their junior teams as well as having State to worry about. In the girls the top 3 or 4 players already play ABA, while in the boys the SASI team would get smashed by 80+ each week.

I have herad this to be ture. They are struggling to fill a team for the new year just have a look they don't have a team for the 1's in the off. Also I have heard this from someone involved in the senior program

the fact that centrals women are struggling to field a competitive team is not new news. Has been going on for many seasons.
Not stating facts here but heard they are looking into recruting/ joining with a uni team?
Anyone got news on that. Would be a good move for them. I don't think that the club trying to survive on having a mens team and no womens team will be helping anyone.
