Ahh. The perputaul dilemma. Because their skills are not as good as the JPL. Then there's the other reasons open to speculation.

And if there was no JSL where does that leave teams like Fulham who have teams in certain age groups that r gd enough for JPL but FFSA won't let them in because our seniors r not aligned to the FFSA. Where would our 250 junior boys play then? I think you know the answer. Somewhere else or nowhere. ...

Haven't had much to do with Drago apart from seeing him coach a couple of years ago. He is very passionate about what he does. no doubt. An in my opinion he is one that will sort the wheat from the chaff.
