Editing League Balance Strategy (section)

==Challenge==
During the off-season, talks begun between captains of all teams, and players of the league, in order to accommodate the [[Quad Team]] players left teamless following the post-Winter 2009 purge. This involved heavy discussion between [[Theo Rogers]], [[Lachlon Willis]], [[Michael Read]], [[Lewis Freeland]], [[Jackson Cowan]], [[Guy Bevan]] and [[Charlie Rogers]], the latter two of which acted as managers for the [[Quad Team]] players. The difficulty of the task was not only finding teams for all the 10 players previously part of Avalanches/Sunflowers, but making sure they were balanced. A strong priority was held to ensure none of the players would be put in situations or teams which they didn't feel comfortable in; either playing for teams they previously disliked, or teams with no hope of becoming a premiership team. All in all, this proved a challenge for organisers of the balancing strategy.

In terms of balance, priorities were set aside by Rogers in the form of splitting up The Avalanches, namely [[Jacob Dawes]], [[Rick Osman]] and himself.

[[Guy Bevan]] was also to be split from the three Avalanches, despite attempts by Rogers to have himself and Bevan join the same team in [[NSF]], however there was more resistance than there was support by league captains towards this option.
