You've hit the nail on the head with that trublue. If you really have a good look at the top three, all need to recruit heavily, if they don't want to be just another club making up the numbers in Div 1.
West, heights, even albanvale (even after the weekend result) have a lot of talent but will loose players if they go up re: retirement, player prefer 2nd, or just want to move on but what do you do.
There will always be a pecking order, @ the moment in Div 1 the top teams like spotty, hoppers, colts, st. albans will always be there b/c they don't have to look for $$$$$$$ How can any team in Div 2, be competitive in Div 1 when west reckon they $40, 000 (being alot of cash for Div 2), with this is a budget that these Div 1 teams would laugh at!!
ALL THIS HAS BEEN SAID AND DONE BEFORE..........POINTLES DISCUSSION
