If I got the full $150 from every player on signup I'd have about $7500 which would go a long way. Currently about a third of that.
I think next year we bite the bullet and force payment on registration through the app.
@NTA currently guys can register without paying? yeah, you have too, all of us coaches/managers have "sponsored" someone, see who made it to being selected for the first squad without registering and then hit them up to see if they had money issues...its all unofficial though as you have the guys that have been paid before and would take it if they could even if they dont need it...in general though its no no pay no register no play
-
RugbyXplorer is configured by most senior clubs in Sydney to be $0.
We pay by the grade for insurance, comp registration, and RA Participation Fee. Not by player.
@NTA wow, less of a road block to guys playing but club take a lot on your shoulders
-
@NTA and legit that might be a contributing factor into our club comp being so much smaller (amoungst all the historic stuff)
@Kiwiwomble always tricky to determine if financial investment = commitment for some of these guys.
-
Also worth noting: new guys to the club pay straight away. They're used to it from other sports.
The regulars are the tough ones to get. Particularly those who cry poor but can be seen eating out on FB regularly.
@NTA or the ones that suddenly find some cash when in the pub after the game
we had another new guy rock up last night, he's got a hard road if he wants to play above the 4th grade just because he hasn't done the preseason...but he was all, i'll registers tomorrow and put in a gear order

To save laundry costs we subsidised the players purchasing their own jerseys, with whatever numbers/ letters they wanted on the back.

Just two? They get what they ask for, it hasn't been a problem yet.

Ah right playing numbers stay the same. Confused by having "whatever numbers ... they wanted"

@antipodean i wash my teams jerseys, modern ones are dry over night and because theyre so much lighter its only two loads in our machine at home, getting too a laundry more trouble than its worth for me
so more than one player can be wearing the same number? we're not allowed, they dont have to be 1-15 but they can only be one of each
-
We've never been counselled on the playing numbers/ letters on the backs of jerseys. Either refs don't know/ care or it isn't actually a stipulation in the competition. I don't know.

@antipodean that would be handy, its made for some rag tag collections of jerseys as some go missing and we have to replace with ones from other sets just to keep unique numbers

We carry what remains of the previous set for the inevitable case of new guys, people who forgot/ lost their jersey etc. Thankfully, like most amateur cubs, our basic design doesn't change.

@antipodean no, basic design for us is the same...but i get a bit OCD with changes in sponsor or differences between manufacturers, especially for first grade...thats on me though

@Kiwiwomble rego fees not just a problem away little clubs like mine. Mosman are 6 Grades + Colts in first division
@NTA dont get me wrong, as mentioned above, definitely a mission getting everyone to pay, and i feel like a dick outing guys when theyre doing their warm up for a game....the judging looks from their team mates that have paid does help though
we allowed guys to pay week to week a couple of years back...ultimately people just forgot until i reminded them on friday night or sat morning...so the fines master added it too the fines list each week...that helped
