Poaching by any name.

I have spoken to a player and the parent, who were approached a number of years ago by another clubs team manager in the same age group. Strangely this was done directly after a summer season grand final where the player had played against the team that was trying to poach him. The player and parent declined the approach, however didn't inform their club at the time as they did not know that it was not allowed. It was only found out when all players within the team were asked if they had ever been approached by another club, they have since been instructed to inform the club immediately if they are spoken to by another club in the future.

Refernce:http://www.gofor2and5.com.au/recipes.aspx?c=3&a=288&n=168&rl=176 POACHED PEARS 10 minutes preparation + 15 minutes cooking 6 serves of fruit in this recipe 1 L (1000mL) dark grape juice 6 pears, peeled and quartered, cores removed Pour juice into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Lower the heat, add pears and simmer for 1015 minutes or until just tender. Turn pears over to cover in juice during cooking. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the syrup. Serve warm or cold. Apparently delicious and good for you by any name. Doule the factual info to feed a team. SASI should have it in their nutrition plan.

Perhaps poaching is a bad word which which causes reactions.
What is it called when a player has it 'suggested' by an opposition coach (with higher interests) that it would be very beneficial for the players development to move to another club?(wow- this coach may even be the new team coach for the player)
The parent and player become interested and are advised that said club cannot move on player, but if the family chooses to move clubs, all is OK

Bravo "Skin"
IMO you should play for your nearest club. It's better for the competition and it's better for your growth.
As you say, if you're an OK player, why warm the bench for all stars when you could play against them and improve your game and be a better player.

Does BSA need to introduce zones?

It's quite funny really, that people move to get better chances to make state teams etc.

Bottom line is this may only effect (if it occurs) the 9th and 10th player, if you are a gun you will get picked, who ever you play for.

I don't see the point in a ok player going to a good team and sitting on the bench, when they can start for another team and develop their game by playing against good players.

Each to their own tho.
