Who have Southy signed FR? I heard they lost Byrnes which will be a big loss as he scored most of your goals last year. Also Gazzard leaving will be a big loss - you guys scored plenty over the years from his long throws. Based on where you finished last year and those couple of losses 4th spot is a big call IMO. Good luck with the season though.Quote:

I too hope they go well also as freshness is great for competition but it might be a bit tougher than they are anticipating .
Certainly going to be an interesting season what with them and a strong looking Magic again and you would be expecting a good year out of Olympic .
And then you have still got the top three of last year Jets , Jaffas and Weston who will all be expecting to win it or be very close .
still got edgy , Adamstown , Azzuri and Southy who ain't even getting a mention so looking like fighting out for last place if most people are right .
I would not like to name a winner yet so think I will remain firmly on my garden fence and say good luck to all teams .

Sorry foreverred just my opinion mate, hope your guys prove me wrong. Would much rather see thr jets run last
Is it a cultural development for Jets fans to be negative to all Jets teams or has this attitude always been
a stumbling block for Newy football?
A club should be seeking success throughout its development squads and any success should be welcomed and embraced
By jets fans, regardless of the club side they affiliate to.
I hope they do well, it can only be good for our game here.Certainly finishing bottom would be the reverse.
Mind you, I hope my club side beat em,but they beat everyone else.

Southy n Buds to fight out the spoon. Will tip Southy to survive. Tight knit bunch and coach has the respect of the players which goes a long way.
Buds have made some big name signings.
should we close the player movement thread and keep all discussions of the NPL here?
yep
Rosebuds to make the big announcement tomorrow - https://www.facebook.com/permalink.p...559118&fref=nf
signed garry kenneth, 27 year old scot who played a couple of games for scotland, central defender who is currently playing pub league in scotland
160 odd games for dundee utd
Does not beat the conveyor belt of talent coming out the chicken farm does it FR ? ha ha .Quote:

Keep it coming teams , looking like a great season ahead.
If its true it means the Buds have signed a bloke who marked Ibra in his international débutQuote:

From all the player movements discussed on here can anyone start trying to name a top 15 player list from each club. I'll start it off with the favourites magic.
Archibald
Griffiths
Piddington
Virgilli
Higgins
Kantarovski
Hoole
Casceroli
Pettit
Haynes
Berlin
Fajkovic
Bradbury
Tippett
Finlayson
That is probably magics best 15. Any other clubs?
What makes magic favourites ..... they finished second bottom last year.......... signed a few decent players but so have most the teams at the top.
That the 3 years before that with by and large the same group of players they won the thing.Quote:

Wow. Have they got enough strikers. I sure hope Faj n a few others don't mind spending time on the bench.
Dunno if the clubs will post their top 15 Wanabe but nice try!!!
Lol,wasn't expecting clubs to post their top 15 blueblood,was more asking people on here to have a shot at guessing ckubs top 15. But if foreverred wants to give us his top 15 I won't complain. Over to you FRQuote:

NNSWF wake up and don't let them pull the wool over your eyes like so many other clubs have regarding homegrown players, these situations continue to make the PPS a joke.Quote:

Magician who exactly are you pointing to when you make the statement about clubs pulling the wool over Notherns eyes last year ?
Edgeworth... Azzuri.. claiming players that had switched from Magic U19's and U22's as home grown players. claiming players for years of service longer than they were at the club for. The continuing double standards of players leaving the jets, some attracting the switching player penalty while others are not or its half applied. The list goes on... and on.. and on...
But the main thing is the dishonestly and conniving of the clubs to attempt it, blatant and totally lacking in integrity in administration. It's obvious that most clubs have no idea who have played for them and for how long.
I had a view on this points debate last year and the best solution and it is as follows:
All clubs get a list of each teams submitted 20 man pool and the points allocated to each player . They then have time to put together a list of any concerns or questions they may want answered and a date is set for someone to represent their clubs in a round table environment where all clubs must be in attendance allow with a Northern committee .
At this meeting each team presents their list and the clubs have an opportunity too raise these concerns in a professional environment and if not happy with the answers this goes to Northern to make a decision on.
But hey this is just a sensible idea so I would fully expect it to not be seen as a good idea :-) ... Or we could just all bitch about it on hear which is much more fun Ha Ha
Why did you even bother tagging my post with your response as yours has no relevance to my point I made . Other than teh fact that you are bitching in your point 1. even though you say no bitching required ?Quote:

All good , thanks. I guess there are ways to manipulate everything in life , just ask my mother n law !!!!Quote:

Good luck to all teams including those bending the rules without getting caught. At least nnsw have tried.
