Were Kotara at full strength? They put up a damn good fight against Wallsend through the week - if they have players to add to that, it should be another great hit-out this wekeend.

What a joke,
Watched Magic 23's (3 first team regulars) vs phoenix (full strength 1st grade)
I wished i never wasted my time going to blacksmiths to watch crap like what i saw lastnight..
big credit to Pheonix for taking this comp seriously and having a go.
MAGIC either your to big for the sport, or you truly believed that your 23,s would do the job for ya. WRONG
The poor kids looked lost out there last night...
WHY enter the comp,
they're actually forced to enter it, unless i'm mistaken.Quote:

Magic have a responsibility to the the competition, they should have played their first grade, you can't be high and mighty in one comp and be disrespectful in another, it's only a piss ant midweek game, your players are not that precious surelyQuote:

I've tried to stay out of your rants but enough is enough. Why should Magic take the cup serious when the Fed don't? Why risk your first graders when your in the box seat to win the premiership? If you ask me it's a huge risk for a huge club like Magic who have something to loose and nothing to gain out of it but on the other hand clubs like VPFC, Lakes and Southy who are looking at a nothing season have to play their main squad as it's the only chance to win silverware.Quote:

Your joking right... dont be upset because you (southy) lost to lakes 4-0 in round 2 of the cup because you played your 19's... The coaches can pick from whoever they please from the senior squad. And if a predominately U23'd based team can keep a full strength first grade team to 1-0 i agree with PV4, good on them, it just validates their position on the ladder in the senior grades...Quote:

Our responsibility to the comp was to last 2 more rounds than southy did... mission accomplished.
Southy have already won the state cup, we don't need to be greedy , and before you ask I won't be at the game on Sunday unfortunately

How about Bowlo, Shane Paul and that great turk player Hakan Canli.
Teams can play any squad they want in the cup. If they chose a 2nd side and lose no need to get all heavy about it man. Cups will always take a backseat to the comp for some.Quote:

Urunga may be my 2nd fave side now. :yay:
Even more of a reason to have a north coast base club in the NPL or 2nd division at least
But if it was a proper and fair draw with the stronger sides going up to the semi's rather than half ZPL being sides and the other half being NBN/NEWFM sides then would the NPL side get a look in? Just trying to say that this can't used as an example of why they should be put into the comp. Has been tried before and failed each time mainly due to expense.Quote:
