Sorry mate at the end of the day the way things are atm are not in the best interest of the club im a member off. In saying that im sure there are ways to improve and im sure if all clubs got together and trashed out concerns there would be a way to improve the system. |

The sprinkling of talent has helped the weaker group 6 teams become competitive again. Sides like Mittagong, The Oaks, & Narellan are now competing, at the expense of the standard of footy. These clubs, with the exception of The Oaks would have to ask themselves would they be willing to open the cheque book to sign players from Campbelltown if they disbanded? However would we be saying that these teams are going as well as some may think considering we are playing an 8 team semi final series? Look at the top 5, it's exactly the same as last year, Mossy, Oakdale, Easts, Thirlmere, & Picton. In differing orders of course. |

After some further consideration today on this years comp and the merger of wests and group 6 as a player and spectator of group 6 over the past 15 years I asked myself was the merger as good as what I had thought it was and the answer for me went something like this.Three years ago our comp was depleted of first grade sides and was struggling. The group officials were trying to prop it up and toyed with the idea of the merger, a year later it came to fruition. But so far it has offered group 6 clubs not a great deal. We now have to many sides to complete 2 even rounds of football making it a little bias towards teams that may get a better run in the latter stages of the comp, we are now seeing a top eight were sides that propably dont deserve to be are in the semis, we have to travel further to play at grounds that are not at a standard that we have been used to,the reserve grade comps last years premiers and this years likely minor premiers are sides that are supposedly not able to field first grade sides but seem to handle reserve grade more than comfortably, player strengths across the group have been weakned, there seems to be no end of controversy over the two different standards between group 6 and wests and these are just some of the downsides. However at the time it did help our comp as numbers were dropping and that is to be appluaded but now with the re emergence of Mittagong and The Oaks into the firsts competition maybe the merger is not really of much benifiet to us at all. If this combined comp is to continue and prosper lets ditch the merger idea go back to group 6 stand alone invite one or two of the campbelltown sides into our comp and play under the same rules, Make any side that wants to compete field a first and reserves side at a minimum, have them provide a permanent home ground that meets criteria set out by the group (also make group 6 sides commit to meeting this) and lets see some good footy out on the park. |

I agree with alot of what your saying lecky, but I have to ask, which are the grounds you guys have played at that are not "up to standard"? I only ask because there is a similar feeling by some of the wests clubs - playing on as they say "cow paddocks" And regarding the perceived thinning of talent - surely this is because of Campbelltown local players actually playing for their local clubs. For years and years Campbelltown players went to group 6 for senior football. I don't think you would find too many people on the wests side of things upset that their juniors are back playing for their clubs. If anything more senior clubs should allow more opportunities for players to be paid, and hopefully stop players going to the Carlton league in the south and Parramatta/Canterbury comps in the north.

Well id say Townsend oval, Wood park and stromferry are not up to speed IMO No one disagrees that the merger has been great for the Wests district. Edited by Highlander, Aug 13 2010, 08:17 AM.

Development Fellah, name one ground in Campbelltown that is up to scratch and don't say the stadium, they don't have the county feel, you cannot park your car around the ground and set up a boot full of food and drink, in recent talks with our club moving to a new ground for 2011, the other council talked about our current home ground, the words were, you can put lip stick on a pig, but it's still a pig, say no more! |

The main reason a local Campbelltown player would go to group 6 to play was for one thing and one thing only and that is money. The West's policy has been not to allow payments to players and group 6 have payed their players for I dont know how long and the merger has relaxed West's view on this. The standard of football is the best I have seen for "park footy" and these guys go out every week and put their bodies on the line in the name of Rugby League. They deserve to get paid and I hope the joint comp stays as it is. We dont lose much to the Canterbury comp as most of them dont get paid either. So lets stop bickering about what's best for individual clubs and concentrate on making what we have even better. Edited by Maverick, Aug 13 2010, 12:34 PM.

There crowd is a problem. And also apparently after their game against easts a few of them decided to beat up the bouncer at Bradbury Inn (Who are one of the main sponsors) I heard that Wests are trying to sweep it under the rug but Group 6 want to kick them out. |

Apparently the issue has been resolved with Collies getting a $2500 fine. So when they win the Reserve Grade comp, and get $2000, it will be more like a $500 fine |

This matter is not over, there will be further meetings next week to decide there fate! Hinchinbrook was thrown out and what this mob done was far worse and that's from a reliable source, like I stated, "what a disgrace" |
