Agree Roland hard to compete with the Mounties , wenties and Windsors who but every player in the comp stolen half our players and I believe have stolen the best fromBlacktown but I take my hats off the Guildfords , BANKSTOWns and kingsgroves with trying to compete against the powerhouses good to see your positive input Roland maybe you could ask why Cabra had half of its players stolen in stead of sticking up for the powerhouses
I want all the teams to be "powerhouses" ie the teams of Bundy standard play in Bundy and the teams of Sydney Shield standard play in Sydney Shield.
Sure Mounties told the recruitment guy to GET EVERYONE. If you are the richest club in Australia and you dont even make the semis you are going to do something about it. I am sure that Yatesy is lining up quality replacements at Cabra.
The thing the Wenty, Windsor and Mounties and Guildford have in common is that Steve Ghosn has previously coached them all. When he moved from Wenty to Guildford he took 6 Wenty players with him. When he moved from Windsor to Mounties he took 8 Windsor players with him.
Ghosn knows what is required in this comp. If he is only allowed to sign 8 players I am sure they will be top notch and maybe they can carry the team for a while.
Guildford had 5 NYC players each week in Sydney Shield this year and that can work at that level.
Anyway good luck to the Owls and sign up those Super 8 quickly.
