are you guys telling me that no one decent in auckland will play asb prem without being paid?
those dudes in dunedin aren't on much surely and they are training the house down at the moment
I think that because a lot of these players get paid a decent wedge at NRFL level (and having seen some of the figures, they are ridiculous for a regional league) they expect that because ASBP is the next level, they should be paid. I have heard though a source that is decent that Waitakere have yet to sign their naming sponsor up so maybe the well has run dry on the cash front. I think there is a combination of that, and no one wanting to play for the Temple-Shelley team.
I agree it's a shit situation. If I were paying players, there maybe only 4 or 5 I would pay. The rest, get a job...
