Some of you blokes need to grow up. Footballers will always gravitate to the best league they are able to play in.
I know South West Sydney, Penrith Nor West etc lose players to premier clubs because players want to play a better standard which is added with a financial inducement.
Guess what?
Pennant Hills, St George, North Shore etc lose just as many players, their BEST players, to the AFL, VFL and even the SANFL & WAFL. Good & Elite players want to play at the best level they can. It is no different to what happens to the division 1 & 2 clubs.
I dont hear the good clubs whinging when blokes go to AFL clubs under these NSW scholarships. 80% wont play a game of AFL but their Sydney clubs realise their place in the food chain and dont waste their time whinging because their best players have moved on to better football. They wish the kids well. Some come back, most dont, it doesnt matter the clubs, just develop whoever is left.
Anyone reading this site would think that some of your clubs had 10 players go to East Coast, Sydney Uni or wherever. The moaning, bleating and sour grapes from some directions is pathetic.
I hate Baulkham Hill as much as anyone but 15 years ago they were in the old SFA struggling but at least they did something to bring them up. Now Sydney Uni is trying something and they to should be congratulated.
Some of the clubs represented on here have been crying the same tune for 20 years but dont do anything out of the ordinary to promote change. The cycle hasnt changed and it wont.
