Re: Junior trials discussion -

Raiders is hardly the model club for junior development when they resort to targetting good players from other clubs and then send them an invitation to trial. An "invitation." Really? Let's just call it for what it is. Poaching. For a club with highly credentialed coaches, it's a shame t...

Re: What's a GOOD junior coach worth?

If the FFA was really serious about getting Australia (eventually) to a world class standard (say top 10-15), it would need to spend at least 10-20 mil a year on genuine world class junior coaches.

Serious allegation by his manager that he deliberately got a red card.
Pretty sure the betting agencies would be loOking for
unusual activity on the red card markets for that game after those comments.

Checking players age

Last week at a junior game, there was a player who did not look underage. That of course doesn't mean he's not. But the opposition team wasn't sure if they could do anything about it, as ID isn't available on game day. My question is this: what is the correct procedure in questioning for proof of bo...
