i think its sensible to have a transfer system in place otherwise things would just get silly but i agree totally that the system should be made easier for a player to move clubs if they wish to.
i think the onething that is sometimes forgotten is that these people "fixture secretarys" are all volunteers and it can be very time consuming and whilst it might seem like a long drawn out job the fact is that most transfers are done within 2 weeks.
players will come and go thats a fact and it will never stop and for me its all about finding the right club and team for a child at a level they can play and compete at whilst still been able to enjoy the game,has a coach the onething that really annoys me is that when a parent leaves the child languishing in a team and level they cannot compete in when a team down the road at an easier level cannot get enough players to field a team yet they will leave their child struggling,im not too sure what the answer to that is other than trying to reason with the parent and child that they will enjoy the game far more if they can compete,i know not all will agree with what i say but rugby league is a cruel sport where the weaker children can suffer.
tamagrace hope your son gets sorted out soon stanley could certainly do with some new players to bolster whats a decent side already unfortunatley it has come too late for us sowe could have played our fixture tommorow.
