Why do you seem to dislike wests so much bob? It seems like your hurting inside for some reason? At the end of the day what are you trying to achieve by all of this speculation and rumours that you keep bringing up? Who cares if teams get contracts thats the way it should be then clubs and players know where they stand and admin can do the admin and players can do the playing without worrying about anything else.
sh*t yes im hurting from years of depression of living in whitby and playing for western suburbs.
Why dont you move to Paraparaumui then its great there good fish n chips out those ways and lime bar goes off!! Chin up pal it'll all get better for you one day.
So we figured out after all that Wests aftermatches may sometimes be light on numbers but nothing out of the ordinary for many teams about the place and most of the teams have contracts of some description whether they be on a piece of A4 or from someones gob.
Must be almost the end of this discussion.
Im off to Champs to check out the UMBRO gears 
You should post a review of Sunday's glorious reserve grade game in the Umbro Match of the Month thread Onree, then you might win some.
But would that mean you were on contract with Yellow Fever?
