Yes, we won the Ashes, but that doesn't mean we have the better domestic system, because we don't. I think a maximum of 5 teams would work reasonably well however many sign up, plus there's the problem of lack of players.

There's no intention for further expansion next season.

I think if we get enough signups we should add a 6th team. However, we almost certainly won't, so I don't know why it's an issue. Obviously we're just scraping through with 5 teams now, so unless we get another 20 odd signups a 6th won't even be considered.

Tbh I don't think we need any more teams no matter how many sign-ups we get. We can always have 2nd XI fixtures of some kind or something, whenever there are enough players available.

Nah not everyone. I reckon we could have a system similar to WCC where teams pick 10 (or possibly more/less) players they have to keep, then the rest go into a draft. Opinions?

It kind of sounds stupid to me, but a rookie draft would be good.

The problem there is that WCC players aren't real people. In CW cricket, if you axe 10 players, that's 10 players that may not necessarily want to leave. That stirs up arguments, confusion and the wrong kind of rivalry.Tom Halsey said:

If we CAN get a 6th team, I say go for it son, because these byes are just crappy..

A dradt is a good idea. I tihnk it should be for all new signups during the off season and for anyone that wishes to elave their current club. Kinda like the AFL draft were the youngins get drafted for their first taste of footy and people that have been delisted or quit can also be drafted. I like it this way because you dont have to leave if you dont want to and if you think you could get more chances sumwere else then you could have a quiet word to them about them drafting you. and then when the time comes they can pick you up in the draft.
