    Football's Child Exploitation

    Football's Child Exploitation Part 2 Human nature means that young men put in this situation will often not wish to return home because of being ashamed or embarrassed and remain illegally without any immediate means of subsistence. The boys find themselves in Europe, they have probably never...

    Football's Child Exploitation

    Football's Child Exploitation Part 1 Jay-Jay was trafficked when he was 17 from Guinea to London under the false promise of a career in football only to be forced into prostitution. While he finally escaped his captors, he remained in England, totally alone, having been tricked into believing...

    NRL Expansion. Ideas and opinions.

    For a full season format, state competition match played Tuesday, state v state competition match played Wednesday, international competition match played Thursday. Personally, that’s interest for Saints Tuesday, New South Wales Wednesday, Australia Thursday. Australia would get the first...

    Supply and Demand - A Gypsy article

    Agree. If you try to guard everything in equal measures you'll be exposed to everything in equal measures. For quality reasons, we would have eight teams to start with... Townsville, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Newcastle, Canberra, Melbourne, Auckland, Sydney. Twenty-one rounds, one home match, one...

    Surfing and the World Championship Tour

    The surf provides lullabies as ocean echoes roll. The sunlight glitters as the dawn turns dark to gold. I've posted thoughts at different threads, had the courage to start a few, and one of my likes is being creative so I made a few videos, maybe self-indulgence, maybe time on my hands and in...

    Import Rule

    Players also stay with clubs because they genuinely love their current club, or like the area and are settled with their family. They may be confident of the club’s prospects, get on with the coach and teammates, or be worried their chance to play football may diminish at another club. The...

    Import Rule

    I had this talk about quality with somebody offline and we both agreed beauty is a matter of perspective and Greek girls are just as beautiful as English girls, for example. I don't think the crowds at an English Premier League level will be significantly affected if those quota numbers were...

    Import Rule

    I don't mind a quota for ensuring the survival of local content. The English system is biased in favour of foreigners, therefore, discriminates against locals. England has a maximum number of 17 foreign players allowed and a minimum number of 8 locals in a squad of 25. I think the numbers...

    Import Rule

    Mong I get your point but hear out mine. Discrimination, favouritism, bias, they are words used to describe. The Greek word Yiasu and the Hawaiian word Aloha mean both hello and goodbye depending on the users perspective. Sport can be a reflection of society and if we are to talk about minimum...

    So when will winning the war start paying dividends?

    Was watching Hogans Heroes and Schultz says "Wars are like girls, there's always another coming along." It's not about the sex, it's what happens next after the sex.

    What is the best way to count Premierships??

    A lot of thought and process gone into that. When an old person dies the history fades and when a young person dies the future fades. I support Saints and your rank conclusions are similar to my thread https://forums.leagueunlimited.com/threads/final-wins.472429

    Rich Clubs of the Future

    Clubs have until 2020 to be fully compliant and capital expenses are excluded. It still means some clubs will afford the maximum side of the cap and some clubs will afford the minimum side of the cap therefore disparity. I realise in a competition somebody wins and somebody loses. If you...

    Rich Clubs of the Future

    What has man profited by gaining at the expense of soul. There is the percentage of reinvestment back into the sport, league, club and how much and where depends on the profile of the funder. The salary cap is applied to players (workers) but not to coaches, staff and management (bosses). The...
