One week at a time mate.
Its quite annoying that people on here no more than there letting on with recruits ect. Blokes like myself who have moved away from the area and dont get the gossip you blokes get, we use this site as our knowledge of pre season for the rdfl. So if you now who clubs have recruited please tell!

Id like to weigh in on the steve burlak situation. There is no doubt he has been loyal to romsey and after 10 years at the club i dont see any real drama about him moving on. I dont think i agree with what everyone keeps saying tho that he owes romsey nothing. Its never as simple as that. People keep mentioning mercenaries coming and going at romsey but that is happening at every club. Imo steve is no different to any other player in the sense that if romsey didnt look after him he would not of stayed for ten years. Ive seen first hand how romsey have supported steve thru tribunal appearences on grand final eve, long injury periods, failure to train or seek injury treatment and failure to attend games as captain and support team mates while injured. Like i said its never cut and dry. Steve has been great for romsey but romsey have also been great supporters of steve.i had lunch with him last Saturday and discussed his move to rupo which i think will be good for him but loyalty to the very end to his club would have been a better note for him to retire on whenever that is imo.

Do you think a player opens themselves up to more criticism for moving clubs when they actually go to a rival club within the same league?

Not in the RDFL mate it's quite acceptable and to be honest it wouldn't be an off-season round these parts without it so highly unlikely Steve will be the last.
A fair number over the years have been more than comfortable running out against "mates" when a couple of extra quid is on offer
I'm tipping from this earlier post Slyone, that no one would be more surprised than you about his move.
Yes Romsey has been good to Steven & for the last 10 years, I think the coaches could pencil him in as an automatic inclusion for the upcoming year & Steven could have demanded more cash, so it has worked both ways. I cant comment on Steven not attending games & supporting his team mates, as that didn't happen during my time, but the injuries were a concern especially running off the field & not through the interchange in one final
Yes Blueboy fair to say, I am shocked to see Steven leave the RFC, I suppose everyone has their price, or maybe he felt he needed a change, whatever the reason, it is my belief that Steven was great for the RFC & the club was great for him. Mongrel made some valid points & I would have to agree with him on most. The RFNC HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN THE PAST 6,7,8, YEARS, A CLUB IS ALL ABOUT CULTURE & I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT CONTINUE, THE CULB HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL DUE TO THE PEOPLE WHO RUN & SUPPORT IT, I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO REMEMBER THAT, ITS IN THE HARD TIMES WHICH MATTER THE MOST. STICK TOGEATHER, DONT FRACTURE & CONTINUE THE TRADITION. GO REDBACKS!
I'm not in the club snymore RDFLNUT sorry i csnt answer that question.

I'm hearing Helmers doing it again. Is this the reason for the delayed announcement? Surely if his considering staying on you would wait. From what I hear his an outstanding coach that probably should be coaching in a higher league. (No offence to the RDFL)
Bucks no chance
Team Captain
Karl Norman already signed at Glenrowan
No mate just no coach atm, lost their captain & a few others. They have some very good young talent & it maybe time to rebuild, you cant win the flag every year but it's the sought of club you can never underestimate.

Let's hope not ..... (wishful thinking from me) but here's hoping the sighting of Helmers in Kilmore about 15-20mins ago is footy related
If not isn't Gisborne still looking?
Gisborne have already announced their coaching appointment.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good rumour or sighting of a coach in enemy territory hey.Let's hope not ..... (wishful thinking from me) but here's hoping the sighting of Helmers in Kilmore about 15-20mins ago is footy related
If not isn't Gisborne still looking?
If Helmers had a dollar for every club he is supposed to be coaching next season he probably wouldn't need to coach, not for the cash anyway. Sightings and rumours from length and breadth on the RDFL and beyond I hear.
Seriously though if and when he does decide to go around again wherever or whoever he coaches will definitely have one of the best going around, his record over the past 4 season is testament to that, in my humble opinion.
