Very out of character for the Suns to have a player sent off! Last time that happened must have been over 5 months ago in the ZPL grand final :rof:Quote:

How do you go from leading 2-0 with the opposition down to 10 men yet still manage to lose 5-2? Did the ZPL bad boy sub himself out thinking the job was done after the 2nd goal?Quote:

Looks like it will be a very long year for Cardiff
Not sure about that, they competed against a quality side but it blew out in the second half, also the Ctigers had a couple unavailable, big heads up to Dudley though, can’t see them getting beatQuote:

From what I saw yesterday, Azzurri will be a handful this year.
Plenty of youth and potential.
Tight game with Olympic, had the better chances and a goal disallowed.
Rough day for Cardiff first grade. I predicted a comfortable Dudley win before the match but losing 7-0 on the opening day of the season definitely isn’t encouraging.Quote:

I might be wrong, but that’s how it reads to me.
Watched the first half before going to the Knights and Cardiff lack of speed at the back was real bad. It should of been 4or5 nil at halftime. I heard they were like 11 traffic cones in the second half.Quote:

You lost me at “before going to the knights “ 🤷*♂️🤦*♂️Quote:

Hard to gauge how Azzurri will go, they've lost a few players but also picked up a few. Losing their Skipper and probably their best GK of the last few years was a big loss but seems like they have picked up Lachlan Watson who was Cooks Hill NPL GK for a bit as well as Sydney NPL IIRC. New coach too. Think they will float around 4th-7th spot on the ladder.
With round 19 nearly complete, there's still a lot of football to be played. I don't think we will get a good look at teams until after round 3 or 4.
think they will struggleQuote:

Only 21 rounds left. A team only needs to pick up the odd player snd they will move up. Kotara will be there abouts this year especially if they pick Chase back upQuote:

all good at this point, had some issues with numbers.Quote:

Don't shoot me down either, i am only quoting one of them, who bleeds black and white.
It will take us a couple of more weeks to get going, but we are still here in the ZPL alive and kicking.
cheers
Dudley lost their Captain to injury from a rubbish challenge before a goal had been scored. They could have been even strongerQuote:

Got rescheduled to April 4thQuote:

This same team beat NL team Kahibah 4-0 in a trial .
Everything is relative.
Let’s see the results after 3-4 rounds.
I believe they also beat Thornton newfm 4-0 in the Australian Cup last night.Quote:
