Easts teams out

[The Brain]

Sorry Brain. Won't subscribe to anything Murdoch related

either do I was a ta cafe and read their Free newspaper then this link popped up on my facebook news feed.
No real revelations though except that what they wont admit is we have a better talent scouts in the end and the jeolousy kills them.All got to do with Nat Butcher.Dont his story but obviously he wanted to come to us or he would be still sniffing metho bottles

Get a few facts right.
Souths Seniors have nothing to do with this decision, Crowe is a prick but has nothing to do with this. This is Souths Juniors and mainly the guy that runs it. Even most of the souths juniors clubs don't want the easts clubs gone. (except for paddo).

Any talk about legal action is pointless as Souths Juniors have so much money it would go on for years.

There is hope if the Souths Juniors Clubs are able to oust the souths juniors boss. A lot are annoyed that they keep increasing the allowances and benefits for the board members but don't increase the funding for the juniros clubs

Mostly known and I know Souths Jrs years ago were not very fond of Souffs Snrs.
...and If told ya Souffs Jrs approached easts many years ago about a possible JV merge or some thing when Souffs where booted out would you believe that?

HATRED which has simmered for 108 years between foundation clubs South Sydney and neighbouring rivals the Sydney Roosters has erupted with fears their latest feud will have a major impact on the future of the NRL.

In a decision that stands to benefit hungry AFL scouts in Sydney, the South Sydney District Junior Rugby Football League have rejected a proposal to continue a 22-year agreement which had previously allowed four clubs from the Eastern Suburbs Junior Rugby League to play in the South Sydney DJRFL competition.
In an email exchange obtained by The Sunday Telegraph, the SSDRFL claim that one of the influential factors in their decision to reject the ESJRFL proposal and cut them loose is because they broke a “gentlemen’s agreement” not to poach players.
The four players identified are rising NRL stars and former South Sydney juniors who are now contracted to the Roosters: Nat Butcher, Egan Butcher, Grant Garvey and Paul Momirovski.

Roosters under-20s captain Nat Butcher is a South Eastern Seagulls junior. Picture Brett Costello SSDRFL’s decision to reject the proposal means that almost 500 juniors who are currently registered with ESJRFL clubs Bondi United, Paddington Colts, Clovelly Crocodiles and St Charles are now without a competition to play with in 2017.
Having had a second proposal to remain part of the South Sydney competition also rejected, an inconvenient shift to the Sutherland Shire or Balmain Junior League competitions is one option the four Eastern Suburbs-based clubs will now need to consider.
However, there is also serious concern — although considered a last resort — that each of the four junior clubs could be forced to fold or that players will switch to AFL, rugby union or soccer.
An urgent meeting between the NSWRL, Sydney Roosters chief executive John Lee and ESJRFL administrators will be held in Sydney on Monday.
“The reason why this has eventuated is 20th century tribal wars have been brought into the 21st century, when really we need a new model of junior league that can have players and kids ultimately deciding where they go (to play NRL),’’ Lee said.

Bryan Fletcher in action for the Roosters. “We’re convening a meeting with the junior rugby league representatives to have a discussion about where to next.
“We’ve got to look at what’s going to work for the parents and the kids.
“We don’t want to lose them. My view to everyone has been, ‘Let’s try and work this out because this is about kids, fun and play and wanting them to fall in love with the game’.
“Developing skills and hand-eye co-ordination and hopefully a love of fitness and physical activity is the ultimate goal rather than who has got the best 16 or 17-year old.’’
Due to their small geographical junior nursery, the ESJRFL entered an agreement to play in the SSDJRFL competition in 1994.
The agreement, which was due for renewal at the end of the 2016 season, came at a cost to the ESJRFL of between $70,000 and $100,000 a year, which helped cover an array of costs including each team and any fees required for the use of referees.
Administrators from the ESJRFL were unwilling to comment on the record, but anecdotally there is an overwhelming belief that the only losers in the shock decision are the boys and girls, who are passionate about playing rugby league.
Privately, Eastern Suburbs Junior League officials also claim that the Rabbitohs — or any other NRL club — had an equal opportunity to sign the Butcher brothers, Garvey or Momirovski.
This latest issue also adds another chapter to the Book of Feuds, which is flush with examples of bad blood and resentment between the two clubs which over the past 40 years has seen the likes of Ron Coote, Craig Wing, Braith Anasta and Bryan Fletcher cross enemy lines.

Craig Wing in action for the Rabbitohs. SSDJRFL chief executive Luke Curry said his board found the decision to reject ESJRFL proposals difficult, but stood by the decision.
“The Roosters are well aware why it’s been made,’’ Curry said.
“We asked them to address a couple of issues and they put a proposal in that we felt they hadn’t addressed, so we’ve rejected that proposal as it is.
“They did break a gentlemen’s agreement and in the end, our guys have had enough of it.
“We’re a unique organisation. We spend millions of dollars every year developing kids and also host another district’s junior league so they can play games. And there was an agreement around that. It’s not like Parramatta coming in and signing the players because we’re not hosting their juniors.
“That’s where the angst is.
“We’ve had some good relationships with the Roosters juniors, that’s why it’s a difficult decision for our board to make.’’

Adults playing politics with kids football is an absolute disgrace....

Just for the record, the article has Bryan Fletcher down as a Vermin junior - totally incorrect.

He and all his older brothers played for Paddo Colts in the East juniors competition before they and others senior teams like Bondi United reluctantly went across and played in the Vermin juniors.

People can say whatever they want about who's done what and who's in the wrong, but when it comes down to it, this is all they're doing. It really is disgraceful.

Solution... Super League them, Murdoch style using all our money. Make a competing 'Central Zone Juniors' comp, beef up the conditions/coaching/facilities and secretly lure the Souths clubs over with incentives that they can't match.

Also smoke 'em out by signing key players to both Wyong and Roosters feeders (on fat deals with the lure of better coaching/facilities) and make Souffs juniors this lame Rusty-funded, unsustainable comp that is significantly watered down.

Do this (by bleeding money - we're the richer community) until they are begging for a new, combined comp with 'independent' administration (that we actually have control over).

Easier said than done, but smaller comps can swallow bigger ones. IMO the NRL is essentially Super League (we have all the shytty video ref tech, bunker...etc that Murdoch loves and Murdoch can fire the NRL CEO if he refuses to give him the TV deals he wants - as demonstrated very recently). Best of all, this technique is not 'anti-competitive'. Case law? The Super League Case! Bring it on Souffs... you'll be wishing you kept us in the comp. Nothing prevents our staff from attending your junior games, poaching the best players and cracking back room deals with your clubs.

Addititonally, the article also sadly misinterprets:-
*Craig Wing - who joined us when Souffs were kicked out i.e. he had no club to play with ..in fact the Vermin tried to direct him to a few other clubs instead of us.
*Ron Coote - who left Souffs because of poor treatment as he was unhappy about his contract payments.
*Braith Anasta - who was at Canterbury for some time before coming to us.
In all these cases, hardly poached !

I love it when the Roosters poach Souths players.

[Headless Chook]

Wasn't Angus Crichton part of our junior system? Something about a pot and a kettle springs to mind...

[bondi-boy]

Not good.
The NRL need to step in & make Anzac Parade the border between the 2 clubs. Any suburbs East of Anzac parade are Roosters juniors any suburbs west of Anzac Parade are Souths juniors.

Amen.

[bondi-boy]

Souffs have elected not to renew Easts junior teams application to play in their comp.
The Crocs, United, St Charles and Paddo are for now in limbo.

More hatred of the Roosters/ESDRLFC.
This time not masked in any way.

Let the war begin!
Two can play the 'hate' game.

Just play a 4 team comp between our own clubs!
Have an "Eastern Suburbs Little Kids Persecuted by the NSWRL and South Sydney" weekly lottery.

Should be able to get some sponsors.
Also, have cardboard cut-outs of the appropriate people erected at Bondi beach and in Bondi Junction ... for $5 you get to throw rotten fruit at them.
