What is one element of being a player rep that you feel only YOU can bring to the table?
Having played through 3 seasons already - I think one of the most contentious and spoken about problems is the waiver system. I feel most player reps, and RC members come at this from a GM/AGM perspective, with a player entering free agency and having waivers apply to them and the confusion associated with that.
However, I unfortunately have personal experience with the other side of the waiver system. This past season my team/franchise was in the spot to grab a player off waivers, and due to confusion with how the rules operate around waivers, and us winning that matchday, our waiver spot was adjusted.
In essence, I want to take whatever personal experience I have as a player and having experience how the waiver, and other rules, can be misinterpreted, or unjustly impact the players, to better inform the RC group and lead discussions around them.
