We know the reason behind the rule (12 game rule etc) was to stop teams dropping their 'cream of the crop', which to a degree it does help with.
Then teams like Miramar found a hole - but I think they have (or are looking) to close that one too. Did they add something about National League players this year?
And Nelfoos I am sorry, but Vic Uni do have a pretty poor history of flouting or completely ignoring the rules re dropping players. I believe you need some form of casual registration to help you during the holidays. Just an idea.
We're making sure we're within the rules now but for a club like Uni with a relatively revolving door of coaches and players different people will take different approaches. We've decided to operate 100% within the rules and have planned for it, other coaches have not had that same attitude in the past. Given the Miramar situation last year, as a club we can't be seen to be complaining about the rules on one hand and breaking the exact same rules on the other.
