    NPL is really about his level.

    Hit the nail on the head there. His attitude suits the NPL

    Tall poppy syndrome would require either of them to be tall poppies. Not the third tier of Newcastle Football - which is the eighth tier of Australian football - and the 16,476 in world football. Onion Weed syndrome would be more appropriate

    The tall-poppy syndrome has meant different things to different Australians. To golfer Greg Norman, the tall-poppy syndrome meant a jealousy of success. Norman explained that if someone in America bought a sports car, then other Americans would say "nice car." However, if someone in Australia bought a sports car, other Australians would scratch it.

    Have you scratched any cars lately ??.

    Settle down Stan, too much thought process for half of this audience.

    Even though magic have often imported or attracted juniors I feel at the top level it's fair game on the cattle you bring in.

    Lambton & Weston bought a few in recently. Edgey seem to have a few juniors being promoted but were they original jrs?
