Club Clearance numbers

So proud that we now have program to offer these 'poached' players. LOL
Free choice is great

Looking at some of the names on those clearances, some of those players are at their 3rd or 4th club. I see one player is returning to their old club after a number of clubs. Someone has mentioned above about problems following those players, I know in that player's case there was a good reason why they left their original club in the first place.

Some players are the children of coaches who have moved clubs and that is understandable and I suspect some players have moved for opportunities that their old club couldn't offer.

As a % of the total number of players, I suspect it's not too high. The number of players leaving the sport through dis-illusionment would be a lot higher.

Summed it up well "Wiz"
Gives more players opportunity to play Div 1 and "perhaps" prove that they have been overlooked
For years I have read on Hoops that the blocking of Pro/Rel will lead to players looking elsewhere and hence improving the competition, so let's hope (but not get too excited ) that this may happen
I tend to think that many of these players are simply going to a club where they may have a pathway to better coasching and opportunities

Anon can't seem to support their own comments.
Perhaps South & West have improved their structures which is attracting players across.
I doubt Anon is from either of those clubs, but from of the clubs with the 'elite' teams and will wait until summer is over, then look at poaching the cream.
