Always the issue. I was talking to a club who want to add another Grade next year because they've got guys complaining about "not enough game time". I pointed out that you'll never have a perfect balance of "not enough" and "too much" unless you've got a very dedicated group who buy into the philosophy, and that relates to:
That and the fact young blokes appear to just want exactly the right experience for themselves.
Not too many minutes.
Not too few.
Score some tries.
Win more often than not.
Move on if the club isn't successful.
Tailor the off-field experience to their needs, but be mindful they have other things on so won't be able to support the sponsor pub every second Saturday.
Think about paying their rego because the club *is* getting a superstar and should be grateful for them taking the field
Fully acknowledge that I sound like a grumpy old man!
