Yep it's confirmed. Check the Big V clearances. You'll also see that Ryan Rogers has revived his clearance so he can suit up. He has been talking about doing this a fair bit, looks like it's going to happen now.

Ryan Rogers dunk? Maybe dunk a 6 foot ring off a trampoline.

Oh god here we go again! Ryan Rogers for Prime Minister, I see it now, in his Pakenham gear kissing babies!

Signed him as a moscot !

I guess you have to do what ever you can to try and save a season that was clearly done for the moment that Topp called it quits.

Every other team??? Casey, Westernport and Oakleigh...Who else?

Pakenham are probably spending about 30K on payments again and that is still cheaper than an import. Manny Hendrix is getting 3,200 a month for 6 months, 2 lots of airfares to the states, a car with fuel money, free accommodation and meal allowance. Easily adds up to more than what Pakenham would spend and that is only 1 player.

If they are spending 30K and the product of that is what I saw yesterday they have rocks in their heads.

Have mates playing at the club that they just lost to and I know each and everyone of them pays no less then $500 to play.

You PAY people to play then they are not their because they wont to be.

Good luck to them but they are going to go knowhere spending 30k just to be competitive in DIV 2

Develop your younger guys and build something long term, your in the largest... if not close to in the state, their juniors should be booming.

Could you please tell me which players are getting paid?

How is Brett's tan looking?

Yeah cos Brett Rainbow is really going to pay $500 to drive from South Melbourne to Pakenham 3 times a week.

Topp received 10k last year he told me himself!

FACT- Mildura Imports get $250.00 a week, are given a car and accomodation, they pay for fuel and anything else they want. Make the rest of their money buy umpiring games and doing individuals with local kids. Great players from big D1 college programs.

Mildura have a very good set up with there imports because there is actually a 2 bedroom apartment at the stadium that not many people know about. This allows them to live for free and there cars are all screen printed with logo's so they have probably been donated by local sponsors. I'm not sure about this year but I know after talking to Calvin and Terrell they didn't make anything close to $510 a week.

They must come out on a work visa to be only paid $250.00 a week

No press release from Packy yet??? Is everything ok?

So what if rainbow does play he'll be useless. I mean rainbow was a terrible nbl player compared to the nbl league mvp who played a game for mildura in round 1 joe hurst and was very ordinary in that game.

By the way what happened to all the other guys they signed in the off season. The team that has played so far are dud pakenham juniors. Where is that big chris jones that had a double page newspaper spread written on him.

535, you do know that Joe Hurst is 50 right?

You need to get your facts straight before you start making claims about what clubs are doing with their financials. I have no idea what Pakenham do or don't do but I do know that there is no import being paid at Casey. Pebole is on a tourist visa while he awaits the chance to go back to Europe. He has a job locally and a sponsor paid his fee that all players have to get from a sponsor in that program.

So if Pebole is on a tourist Visa did he just rock up to training of the street?

I do believe they advertised it on the website sometime before he arrived that he was coming.

You can`t recruit players from overseas to play on a tourist visa, if you`re doing that they need to be on a Sports visa.

If someone has read the above they might want to investigate the fact that Casey are rorting the system.

Casey Website had him advertised as coming to Australia to play for Casey. If this is the case he was clearly recruited which inturn means he must be on a sporting visa not a working holiday visa or any other type.

I like the recovery above but I think BA or BV might want to look into this one.

Had he already been in Austrlia and simply walked into your session then you would be clear.

I am sure that is the stance that Casey will take... However you may want to remove that original release from your website before taking that line.

So how did the cheque book go this year?

Who do they have in the first round of finals?

Are they still beating their chest down at Paky?

How long until we see another press release?

How many new signings will they have next year?
