2022 ANZP ROUND 12

@nesian very interesting and juicy talks I bet.

@mcleod you must have those liquid gold words for people, jealous!!

@thunder123 might be a culture thing or as you said to play with other SFs to make that connection. I find that the NZ ladies get on better with each other (outside of normal teammates) than the Ozzie ones do so it could also just to play with friends? Idk.

Great that Ruth Aitken has been made a Dame in the Queen’s Birthday Honours. Well deserved with 2 Commonwealth Games gold plus a World Cup

The greatest ferns coach, by some margin.

I doubt burger will be back at the atqcrix unless Watson returns, and there’s a change to their attacking line up.

I’m pretty sure Jane will be back at tactix, something exciting will happen in 2 attacking areas I think.

@WeWood, I’m no where the knowledge base of McLeod and Nesian but from what I see, the players who are moving on seem to align with their old franchise until the next pre-season begins and do promotional work so they must remain contracted in some way. Remember though that a lot of ANZ players hold down part time jobs ie. Kersten (teacher) for example.
I’ve always wondered how it works in Australia.

@HBHP Burger is very happy at the Tactix with or without Watson there. I don’t see her leaving anytime soon.

@WeWood Contracts are usually around seven months long so they’ll start around Dec and then they finish two weeks after the grand final. This is when the players usually give their cars back. They have the choice of being paid all their salary within that seven month period or they can opt for it to be spread out over 12 months.

Contracting has already started.Franchises can negotiate with their current contracted players but they can’t approach other franchises players. Players can however initiate contact with other franchises at any time. Do franchises adhere to the rules? I’m not sure but I know of at least one that doesn’t.
