The folk at rugby wa are all aligned with Uni that's why the better players get directed there.
RM - no one especially me is saying that any of this is a good thing but it is happening and crying from the sidelines is not going to solve anything. By Semi Pro I am not referring to 200k you are talking about, agreed that Perth is no where near this but if it is only one step above boot money as you point out, why are players moving? why is this an issue if we are talking peanuts to move clubs? cant have it both ways as it makes no sense as per your last comment? who is Pieter and why is he following me? Interesting???

"Isn't that Sydney Uni? " Very observant of you Beige. UWA have adopted the Sydney Uni model re targetting and sponsoring players. Sydney Uni are not popular amongst the Sydney rugby community for what they have done (ie clubs like West Harbour and Parramatta have no chance of ever competing).
UWA is fast becoming the most despised club in WA. Should take a bit of heat off Cott I suppose.
DD: Its a generational thing - current generation are happy to move clubs, jobs whatever for very little. Players are being offered gym memberships, free Uni books, discounted Uni fees, cash, etc etc. What's club loyalty worth? Would you swap clubs for $1,500 of freebies? Where would you draw the line? Ironically, you don't even have to go to UWA - you just need to be a tertiary student and play rugby for them. Some of these kids are travelling 20kms to Uni training - I bet they haven't done the sums on the petrol money.
"who is Pieter and why is he following me?" A very good question. Re Pieter: he's Force Guy, seems to attach himself like an abalone (or paua for the kiwis) to your posts. Watch him; could be a stalker.
Re Fulvio. He's not going anywhere - there's always time to sledge him later. In any case, the more you sledge him the more he keeps coming back for more.

RM- you are a bitter and twisted little twat.
I have read your comments on this forum for a while now and you do nothing but slag off others. You also make all sorts of sweeping statements, one I guess you would find difficult to substantiate.
Get a life and contribute something positive to this forum and rugby in the state!
Now back to the real reason this thread exists. fulvio's a bastard and Paly suck for all manner of fictitious, unsubstantiated reasons.![]()

Gigs, you know me well ...
The CIA are directing this thread?
The reality is they probably matriculated to this tertiary institution and decided to play for them since they were on campus anyway
Give yourself an uppercut
I see you are determined to maintain the anachronism
It is a professional sport. Get used to it
If you are in management of your club, I hope they sack you..........soon
