Hunting for 2007 players: where will the changes b

Seems to me that the question should be just how many SA grown players have had the talent to move up to ABA ranks. I reckon anyone that genuinely wants to be in the ABA and has the talent, will at one club or another find a game.
Since FEBC seems to be a ready target here, just did a check of their www and player mugshots - seem to recognise many of the 12 faces as being longterm SA players. now off to check out the other club sites.

Magpie,you are a clown.
The BBQ's were run by parents of Juniors to pay for expensive trips interstate.They not only ran them at Seniors games , they were at shopping centres for 6 months , trying to keep their costs down !
If you know so much , why don't you ring us and find out some ways to promote the sport , rather than get on web sites and write a whole heap of cr*p from behind the screen .
Give the FEBC a call tomorrow and we will give you some hints on what we are trying to do to lift the profile of the sport at a local level .

The move you talk about is causing unrest and is not giving players any confidence let alone legends of the volunteer & Club admin core, like yourself who work for the game not self-interest. Seems that the powers to be are working against the clubs that they should be representing in more cases than one. You can't blame the players for looking over the border and yes you are spot on - BSA and each and every club should be looking to lift the league not lower its standard - so much lip service to supporting and promoting SA talent - especially when the level of play down the track will not be giving kids the competition they need to compete at a higher level should they want to and as a spectator sport it will become a bore. Love this game - let's all let them know that this is the comp!
