Seniors switching clubs
I was just wondering what people's thoughts are on fringe senior players in a strong team switching to a weaker club to get some more court time. There have been a few examples of this in the ABL over recent years and I was wondering if it benefits them in the long run?
I personally think it depends on the age and priorities of the player. If a player is young and wants to get better then I think that training regularly with better quality players will ultimately be better for them.
If the player is older and still hasn't cracked then maybe moving is the best thing because they may be less likely to eventually break into the stronger team (i.e. less long term potential). The weaker team may offer them a chance to play that they may never have received in the stronger team.
What are people's thoughts on this?
