When being a member of the State team does not rely on the ability to pay, then maybe the most talented players will get selected.

I'm glad they've postponed it. IMO all players (juniors especially) benefit from playing against players of equal or slightly better ability, that's why we have a PL and SL, you derive very little benefit or pleasure from losing 10-0 or winning 10-0. So why would we force juniors to do anything ...
