Wouldn't the Better Halfs have had 7 players if you, Steve K & Andre Cox all still played for them Danny ?

It seems to me the rules are not the problem it's the players & the teams. Every season for the last 25 + years i have always played the full season for the team i have signed for, so have the huge majority of the players i have known over the years.

If teams get a squad together & then have some problem & pull out at the last minute or a player changes his mind before the season starts after having already signed for a team then thats their problem & doing, not the league or the rules fault.

99% of the playes in this league start the season knowing they are not going to win anything also. Maybe if you want to play in the strongest team, with the strongest players & add or delete players at will, whenever you feel the need to because of some in house squable or other reason then you are expecting too much. As shaggy said, whats wrong with picking a team long term & staying with them & building the team over more than one summer/winter season. Thats what the Eagles have been doing for years & it works for them. No one left or disbanded their team when Mark Miller, Eddie Taylor, Danny Evans, Kyle pickett, Hughie Telford & so on left, they just added another player & carried on, so that proves it can be done & done successfully.

None of this is the leagues fault, with the exception of 2 teams every other team seems to be dealing with it fine & has done for the past 30 + yerars.

The rules are bsically, find a minimum 5 players who want to play, sign them up & submit your form, & then play for that team for that season. Is it really that complicated !!!

PS. I picked you, Steve K & Andre purely because you are 3 players that as far as i am aware have turned up for your respective teams for more or less every game this season & therefore i would assume would have done the same for the Better halfs if you had still been there. Obviously you all have the right to move team for whatever reason, i am just making a point about players & teams chopping and changing causing problems & not the League or League rules causing the problems.
