RWO Game Day Thread - Round 3 - April 22-25

Because one of them has put in a transfer that the club has denied despite having no grounds to do so which has resulted in the player not having played for four weeks. It's a bit pathetic really especially considering that he is a student at the university, qualifies to play for us and has absolutely no interest in playing for a club he has no connection with, half an hour from his home with people he doesn't know. The other is playing at his draft club because he wants to. That's the difference.

Was knocked back because the rules you guys agreed to weren't complied with. Gotta play by the rules especially when recruiting interstate players that want to play prems.

You do realize that there was no benefit because we don't recruit players from interstate that aren't going to play the majority of the year in NEAFL right? Did I mention that earlier?

They certainly didn't in 2016, did however in 2015 and 2017.

[The Student]

In 2015 the mini draft players were as follows

Law (UTS) 7 games
Lucy (St.G) 1 game
Blesing (PH) 0 games
Bonney (MW) 7 games
Day (UNSW) 0 games
Turner (WS) 0 games

So if you can point out any of those that played the majority of the season in PD in 2015 I'm happy to acknowledge your point. The fact is that the rules have changed, Austin now qualifies to be a Uni player, is a student and has requested a transfer. Your club has no right to deny it. There are literally no grounds for stopping him moving in accordance with the rules. And to be honest I have no idea why a club that would want a player on their books that doesn't want to be there. Anyway I'm sure it will all be sorted out soon one way or another.

The rules have changed - he is free to move. And in any case he is now a student at the university and would've qualified under the old rules. Pretty simple really

Because you gave him a scholarship...

[saviour01]

If hes such an integral part of your neafl side then why dont you pick him? Why choose to break sydney afl selection rules instead of sydney uni neafl selection policy.

[The Student]

Because they're unbeaten and he hasn't played all year?

Are you aware of the fact that the rules have changed? Not only are students of the university allowed to play PD for us but interstate players are as well. I am assuming that you have nothing to do with this sort of thing because you are oblivious to the current regulations but rest assured, there was consultation with the AFL and the clubs.

In any case you are insinuating that we "gave him a scholarship" for him to do an MBA in order to wrest him away from the all powerful St.George. Get over yourself.
