Agree after watching Sunday's game - they are a fair way off NPL. I think at worst a playoff between 2nd and 3rd then the winner plays second last in NPL. I don't believe the team coming 4th (in what was effectively an 8 team comp given Wallsend's form) should be getting an opportunity at it. Just my thoughts.Quote:

I think it's wrong to try and claim Stags are better because they had teams in a 7-6 team, "weakest" division and made more finals than a club playing a harder division with 8 opponents.Quote:

Agree with you as sent football goes...shouldn't even be required to have youth teams to be in that division IMO...just the best squad of 1st grade footballers they can musterQuote:

Stop making excuses, if they can't do it go back to local league.Quote:

Why isn?t this a thing for NNSW VS Football NSW, would be a good watch I think and after we learn a thing or two about where we are in line with our counter parts we might then have a rethink about the stupid amounts of money rumoured to be payed to players in this comp.
NNSW representative teams use to be a thing m, playing overseas visiting clubs and u terstate games. I think the jets have killed that off. Could even have NL1 team of year v NPL team of the year but won?t happenQuote:

to be fair, 1 competent person could run NNSWF themselves. absolute joke of an organisation, all would be sacked in the real world of employment.
p.s good luck to the stags
1 game off
Be careful what you wish for, we would get embarrassed, Northern NPL standard is terribleQuote:
