If they can't find the players Football Federation Tasmania will be forced to bend the rules, which state that a Women's Super League team must be underpinned by a Championship team, to support one team in either the Super League or Championship.

The club has players coming along this weekend, which may get them over the line but Hey believes there is an underlying issue which needs to be looked at to ensure the future successes of the women's game in Tasmania.

"We want women's football to grow, that's why we are here and do what we do, and if you want the game to grow and you want good competition then I think you need to take a serious look at your population base of players and then create a competition around that population base," he said.

"Personally, I think we have the numbers wrong in the top league.

"I think a smaller number of six teams would be far more beneficial," Hey said.

If the Super League side does fold, Hey hopes talks he held with FFT will help his players have somewhere to go.
