I attended the Junior League AGM last night, EG and EGJ were just there, if you wanted to talk to them you could , no mention of the election. When Roy Spagnolo had the floor, he just thanked the club officials for attending and the hard work they do, no spruiking. Ken Edwards said we have plenty to look forward to, the changes made will be of great benefit and he then said he will talk to people after the meeting and he stayed back
If you want my opinion as an involved part of the junior league, I am struggling to see what this push from ParraFirst is about ( seems more a slogan to appeal to those on forums than anything else), as the Parramatta Jnr league is now in good shape, a new Exec officer who is trusted and hard working ( the change we needed). A full time junior coaches mentor, and a further bigger level of assistance from the ARLC ( equiv 1 1/2 full time coaches), and dedicated office staff
The referees are paid by the Leagues Club, insurance is funded by the club, and I think we will have further growth looking at the commitment from those attending on behalf of their clubs
Anyway, no one from Parra First attended to make themselves available to the junior clubs, a new board of management was elected and the meeting went well.
You can always argue about the NRL side, but this concentration on the junior league from those wanting to get elected doesnt make a lot of sense, we now havea good relationship with the junior league, much more consultative that previously
Who was there from te ticket, Rpy Spagnolo ( who I see at weekend junior league games), Robert Sassen, EG, EGJ, Steve Aglio (from the junior league), all of therse people have the ongoing strength and performance of the juniors at heart
Enough from me, but the foundation appears good for the near future, development officers and coaching support now available. Ricky asked the junior league to advise rego dates for each club, and they will ensure that an NRL player attends the rego days, this current admin seem to have a good feel for the future, personally am confident we have good people in charge.
