Top 4 in order
Lakes
Wallsend
Cooks
Southy
Depends who has the most money really
Lakes have spent plenty but players such as the Walkers will be marked men and most likely kicked all day so i can see their depth being tested and if so a dark horse may pinch it.
Lakes
Wallsend
Kahibah
Southy
Cookers
Belswans
Singleton
Thornton
Cessnock
Westy
Stags :(
Are Kahibah and Thornton playing ZL this year or you just don't rate either?Quote:

Southy to miss the 4
Two decent signings for Singleton yesterday. Dylan Schauder and Alex Clarke. Schauder is a CB that played U23's for Houston Dynamo and was on the train-on team for the US Olympic squad whilst Clarke is a left mid/back who played 19's for the England Schoolboys before going to the US on a scholarship and playing for Holy Cross College and FC Indiana. The Strikers are expecting them both to play in the FFA Cup next month. In my opinion a team to watch this year just got stronger. I can see them making the finals if they keep their key players fit.
Why wouldn't they play in the NPLQuote:

I've heard they were given jobs in the mines if they played for Singleton.Quote:

Maybe more likely a sponsor giving them something but again given jobs and hours lost for contractors would think this needs to be kept secret
Any one had any yanks as new starters ?
Ears to the ground brothers
Just the word around town regarding these players.Quote:

When do newfm clubs begin pre season training
Id say most this week or next week.
I'm ok with singleton or any club bringing in players to strengthen club and compQuote:

Maybe the Royal is giving them $10 schnitzels and schooners for middy prices every day of the week.
No one whinged when EDI was giving Warners Bay players jobs.
What's the difference?
Think he's referring to the old, use Npl youth to fund the senior team.Quote:

Stepping back abit mate, Young Dinardo president, new treasurer, and maybe even a secretary. Still helping run the club but not as involved.Quote:

2-2 Thornton v Cooks Hill. Cookers missing 5-6 first graders, Thornton apparently full strength. Subat played, quite intensily I'm led to believe. Interesting start to the year.

Best things they have done in years. Cannot doubt the man's passion, that's not questioned. But he was doing more harm than good, in my opinion.Quote:

1st: 3-1 Westy
23's: 2-1 Cessnock
19's: 5-1 Westy
17's: 3-2 Westy
A fun day but very hot in the sun for eight hours. Westy could and probably should have scored more. Cessnock were awful going forward and as a result kept coming back and being forced into sloppy turnovers. Westy have a couple of new signings who's names slip my mind at the moment but they're on the improve.
23's wasn't a surprise. Cessnock a quality side in that comp. Westy brought it though and were unlucky not to get a result.
19's was sloppy in first half but all Westy in the second. There was a scuffle between two players and both were sent off. Cessnock need to improve or they'll face a tough year. First trial match or not it wasn't the best result.
17's was arguably game of the day and saw Westy come away with a late win. Believe Cessnock have a few 15/16 year olds in the line-up.
I've heard the "Board" at Lakes being wankers once again NewyTy?
I'm not sure whether it's one person or the whole board but no one has been in contact. I've got no hard feelings. I have ten other clubs who love what I do in New-FM.Quote:

Heard some rumours about Belswans that make it hard to see them doing well. Toronto look very poor after two games. Cessnock didn't impress me either. Kahibah could win the whole thing based on what I know and have seen from them. Lakes have money and the players to win the league and would be surprised not to see them win it. Pretty decent table but underselling Cooks Hill IMO and not just saying that cause I'm from the club.
