It was a rule that was voted on about 10 years ago. But when checking that rule about 5 years ago it had never been amended and added to the rules and regulations. The EDFL have the rule that only 4 players can be cleared from one club to another club unless permitted by the existing club.This has happened at carro springs this year also lost a u/11 side and u/15to burnside followed coaches that didn't get reappointed.Im pretty sure league has rule for senior players leaving a club (4)
I bet if it was Spotswood the WRFL would intervene but because it is one of the smaller clubs they couldnt give a rats arse.
