Is it 20Legend who made the point that the new club exemptions exist largely as a counter point to the homegrown and long service allowances?
As well the club will still have the same owners, have access to the same conditioning and scouting assistance as part of the wider international football group, have a bunch of fans with high expectations and is one of the more attractive climates in Australia and NZ, with fewer earthquakes, no snakes, no crocs, hardly any jellyfish of note and no fire ants etc etc
It might get tougher. Or it might just be same same by different.
