I see the mid season split has seen a bit of player movement again this year.Sounds like its just going to be how it is from now on.For the record I dont have an issue with it.
I heard with two clubs movements occurred because the coach was fired and those players weren't happy with that.
When is the rego cutoff?
I've heard of a coach sacking (or similar) at a DivA U13 team and if true... just wow.
I thought it was June 30.Not 100% sure though.Quote:

Why are coaches or team officals getting away with this. NNSW should be ensuring no club is pressuring the ref.
And my point was that you named one example that in your opinion was a young referee being influenced by a coaches behaviour(it is possible that the other team just played better in the second half and won the game fairly).My point is that there are many cases with factual evidence of young referees not being intimidated by coaches.So across the hundreds of games per weekend you are upset by one instance then thats fine but dont disregard the rest of the games that are done at the appropriate level.So if you are after perfection in the refereeing ranks then thats great but can we also get rid of the players,coaches and parents that arent good enough as well?Quote:

Northern may not have updated all recent games (Charlestown and South Cardiff 18s has not been updated (was a 2-0 win to S.Cardiff, but rather than tinker I?ve left as per Northern?s records?looks like very few 18s games have been updated)
1: Cooks Hill (GD+12)
2: New Lambton (GD+17)
3: Belswans (GD-5)
4: Northern Inland (GD-2)
5: Charlestown (GD-5)
6: Weston (GD-4)
7: South Cardiff (GD-17)
8: Mid Coast (GD+4)
Weston and Mid Coast have the lowest numbers of games recorded (10 each?highest is 14 games)
Points would help too, how fare ahead is Northern Inland to Charlestown? 1 point? 9 points?
I did this up with known results included, just CH vs NIAS U18s not known.Quote:

.............................................P W L D PTS

2 Cooks Hill United FC.............19 11 7 1 34

8 South Cardiff FC (Premier)....19 5 12 2 17
Charlestown, Weston, Southy struggling
Rumour is Dudley and South Maitland are applying for JDL and/or PYL licenses for 2026...
NNSW pushed Nelson Bay for a license due to a need for some sort of development team in that area but haven't heard any word from the club, nor any rumours circulating
It would be great to see this happen.Loads of good kids up there.Quote:

Yep the inner city clubs can choose a lot but the outer suburbs can maybe keep some talent
Does anyone have some inside knowledge of when the 5th/6th and 7th/8th 'play off' games will be played?
Any word on when they announce any new PYL teams. It was meant to be a few weeks ago if you go off what Northern posted as a timeline
Being announced today apparentlyQuote:

Great news and well done to both clubs for making the effort.Quote:

Intriguing there was 5 clubs apply for PYL and 4 for JDL.Quote:

25 clubs. I wonder who gets the bye
So we have a few clubs in div 3 severly struggling to find players to compete at level. Where does Dudley go find their players?Quote:

So I struggle to understand the logic of Macquarie Football not supporting Valentine's PYLG submission yet supporting Kahibah's?
As stated above, Kahibah is already on the doorstep of other clubs, yet Macquarie Football's objection was that Valentine would be cannibalizing other clubs?
In all fairness though, I think a smarter direction would have been to expand the existing club licenses to include at least U14's girls as a first step, potentially 16's (or delay a year or 2) and pushing U17's out to U18's. Clubs having to release 1/2 their 13's each year as they progress to 15's is just a sure fire way of losing players from the game altogether.
They only need Youth if they are going to be promoted to NPLQuote:

How many girls games do you go and watch? there are a few, but you have to know which divisions to watch and a lot of the real young ones play up quite a few ages or in AAW, If there wasn't a gap between YL girls and community you'd know where they are, theres no structure for the girls as there is with multiple divisions of youth league so you can't really say you know what the talent pool is or isn't.Quote:

Hope these games get played this weekend. Already lost a round of football.
Interestlying most clubs are football only pitches so games should be played where possible if the grounds are a little damp.
Any idea whats happening with the positional play off games (5v6 7v8)?
Also where the semi finals will be played?
Seems to be a delay in confirming given that the clubs would need to prepare/ keep teams training if they didnt make semis
Theres still a boatload of fixtures to be made up. The silence is deafening from NNSWFQuote:
