The Eagles are proffesional club, they havnt got where they are without an accountant! They had a points system in Bundy, and I know they released a couple of players so they could fit in the points, I noticed last year in there program they actually display there points in the program, good idea, all clubs should do it, showing they have nothing to hide Edited by Fence sitter, Mar 31 2011, 06:51 PM.

Melbourne Storm were a professional club too. I got told that there was a G6 meeting last night at Mittagong and all the talk from the clubs was how were Easts allowed to win the pre-season comp being over the points, and the excuse trotted out was there is no points in the pre-season comp. Can anyone confirm? It's all well and good to print what the points in the program, but whether or not those values are legit is another thing. There needs to be more transparency with this system. All clubs should recieve each others points. And The Oaks will not get the spoon, my money is on Narellan |

No one knows! There should be a book that has everyones points, and handed to all clubs, I think you may be surprised with Eagles points, I know a lot of players that have been there years and alot that played with Jarryd Hayne, I don't think there points will be a problem for them!

Well maybe his brother Troy. But he doesn't seem to turn up at all the games, I hope for Narrellan you can get him to turn up more often. |

Claws out for fiery showdown BY LAUREN WRIGHT http://www.southernhighlandnews.com.au/news/local/sport/rugby-league/claws-out-for-fiery-showdown/2121196.aspx THERE will be no love lost between former teammates when Mittagong and Moss Vale take to the field on Sunday to kick off the Group 6 rugby league season.It has been years since the Dragons last hosted the Lions at Community Oval, and both captains said they expected a tough match. Mittagong skipper Ryan Powell joined the Lions this season and said he didn't know much about his opposition but knew the match would provide plenty of fireworks. "I've been told it's probably the biggest game of the year for us.," he said. "Playing the premiers gives you an indication of where you're at." Dragons' skipper Willie McDonald also said it would be a big match to kick off the season. "It should be very exciting. Should be a pretty tough physical match," he said. Powell and McDonald played together a few years ago, but will have to put those memories aside when they face off against each other on Sunday. The Dragons will go into the match with a few injuries, but McDonald said despite this he will be close to full strength.Dragons' president Greg Maloney said along with McDonald who has recently had ankle surgery, Scott Drewe was also in doubt with an ankle injury, Josh Champion had a slight hamstring strain, and Brett Cummins and Brad Maloney both had back injuries.n the absence of McDonald, Dan Drewe will be the on field captain. McDonald said he wants the Dragons to focus on the basics such as completion of sets. "We haven't had the best preparation," he admitted. Powell said he wanted his side to focus on the same sort of things, completion of sets and kicking to the corner. "It's a challenge to all of them to start the season well and play consistently," he said. McDonald said he expected Mittagong to be as strong as last year if not stronger. "Mittagong lift another couple of levels when they play Mossy. Powell will be keen to have a good start to the season. I expect them to have a simple game plan but they'll be tough and well drilled," he said. With a few new players, McDonald said he was keen to see how new recruits Aaron de Jager and Michael Wortz would perform. "They've looked promising. It'll be interesting to see how they go," he said. Maloney said it will be "all guns blazing" at Moss Vale on Sunday, and said he expected three fiery matches. "It's a great way to start the year off. May the best team win on Sunday," he said. |

I think that is a common sense approach tc. Does the points committee just take a clubs word for it that a player is worth a certain amount of points? Is there any comprehensive background checks on player histories? Being a research and footy tragic I know for certain that you would be surprised about a number of players and where their junior origins are... There needs to be full transparency and rigorous background checks on players, the internet is a marvelous tool and unfortunately no one can hide from their past anymore. In relation to Easts, there are a very well run club with a strong playing roster and loads of depth. I find it unusual that they have seen the need to seek so many new players when I thought they had been building a strong club for a number of years?? By signing blokes like, dunley, waqa, neemya, blunden, hoare etc, it seems to go against what easts have been building for a number of years now, especially now players are going to miss out who have been there a while. Looks as though they are trying to buy a comp? The points system was introduced to prevent teams from simply doing that. As for their points situation.. They should never have to worry about it, however I think this year they will. |

Especially last year also when the group 6 teams were only given all campbelltown clubs player points at the very last round of the comp. I think this has created some trust issues with group 6 clubs , but i'm sure the points committee would have access to info they may need to check data, like you said the internet is a marvelous tool especially the sportwarez site which is a good start. |

A reliable source informs me that they are in the process of offloading players to stay under the points cap. A result of over capitalising with their new recruits for this year. Interesting to see who has to go I'am not having a go at the club, I admire what they have done to get here and the way they have gone about running their club, but unless they have had a significant loss of players from last year I dont see their reasoning behind the heavy recruiting of 40 point players? (they are not local juniors) Any thoughts??

Fence sitter I hope your right. However doesnt answer the question as to why the heavy recruitment this year? Especially when they seem to have 3 first grade half backs and 3 first grade hookers at the moment, for example. Have they lost a heap of troops from last year?? or do they feel like they had a weak side last season and need to build?? From what I saw they had a side very much capable of winning a comp last year..... (let alone 3 strong grades) HMMMM???

When you say "buy a comp" you should ask around how much Mossvale spent last year to win that comp. If what I am told is correct they spent huge bickies last year. And as I have said in an earlier post, Blunden is a 2 point Easts junior, so why wouldn't they want him and as far as the others go, I am sure the numbers have been crunched to make it work. |

I wish ,if the dragons had money to spend they would have gone and recruited some quality players considering they had plenty of points still available to them .Yet they didint need to as they had a quality side to begin with. Shane Martin was their only notable signing last year.
