Yeah a per player levy instead of a team levy seems to be very counter productive in senior football particularly.
Maybe it's a sign that we need to think about how we run senior social football in the future
If I was cynical, and you know how delightfully optimistic I am chopah, I'd say that the Federation - struggling with administering everything it's supposed to and being financially constrained - has come up with a funding solution that will either
a) get them more money
b) reduce the overall number of players they have to administrate
I mean, an unspoken goal is probably to reduce the number of clubs in favour of larger single clubs for the Fed to deal with - so the removal of the NRFL Div 2 (at some point) probably links into that.
Fixed that for you. According to what I've been reliably informed.
