The process of switching Shield teams should in theory be similar but ultimately it comes down to whether a player is contracted by their current association going into the following season and if they can secure a contract at the association they want to jump ship to.

Yep, in the case of some Shield teams they're stacked full of players from other states.

As glad as I've been that my adopted state, South Australia has won the last two Shield titles in a row, they've been the benificiary of some horrendous incompetence by my home state, NSW.
