Time for Northern to show some governance

Should be an exciting last few weeks of games and a very tight finals series ahead. It could easily be an outsider winning the GF this year!
I doubt it. Other than the top 4 no other team will win it. . The other teams are trash. The quality of the competition has to be the worst it’s ever been.Quote:

Azzurri 2-1
Maitland 3-1
Weston 3-0
Was at Lisle Carr today and many will say Azzurri going down to 10 with Matt Tull ( deservedly) sent off midway through 1st half was the major reason and no doubt it was but up to the send off Valo out played Azzurri and looked the stronger side. Azzurri in dangerous ground now, with the depth of squad available if Azzurri don’t make play offs or do something in finals, questions have to be asked and should Graham Law survive ? I would think not. As he had to do better with the players at his disposal.
Thoughts ?
Although I believe he has been resigned for 23?
Something definitely not right up there but maybe look at the players instead of the coach. Their last two must win games, against Magic and Valo,and you have Taylor against Magic and Tull today against Valo,both getting sent off in the first.
Very poor from two senior players

Blind freddy knew he was not going to be coach next year, BUT getting kicked.Quote:

Lots of talk at Lakes around new brand and cash plus improvement and Youth development. The word is none of it was evident. The benchmark would have been simple, finish ahead of Rosebuds and Cooks Hill. Failed.Quote:

I only ask because I noticed on the news last night that the Jets are playing a trial against Coffs Harbour Allstars this weekend.
Who would everyone's 11 be from Nnsw.
4 3 3
Pearce Olympic
Wilson Magic
Thomas Maitland
Papas Jaffas
Ensor Magic
Cowburn Valo
Pepper Cooks Hill
Wells Magic
Muller Olympic
Crowley Maitland
Thompson Maitland
Interesting idea, and some debatable selections, but have you seen Cooks Hill this year? Pepper is lucky to be holding down his spot in his own team, a team that has performed poorly all year.Quote:

points table afterwards
Jaffas 40
Magic 38
Maitland 37
Charlestown 33
Olympic 31
Valentine 31
Edgeworth 30
Weston 26
Cooks Hill 15
Adamstown 8
Lake Macquarie 7
Very interesting last round of games
Jaffas vs Maitland
Lakes vs Magic
Olympic vs Weston
Cooks Hill vs Adamstown
Edgeworth vs Valentine
Jaffas 2 - 2 Charlestown
Maitland 2 - 1 Edgeworth
Cooks Hill 1 - 3 Magic
Jaffas v Maitland play the following weekend for the title.
And Edgeworth and Valentine play each other for a finals spot. While Olympic could finish 4th or miss out on finals depending on result over Weston as well as other results.
So top 3 locked in but next 2 final spots between Charlestown, Olympic, Valentine and Edgeworth anybody's guess. Could come down to for and against with Azzuri and Olympic having substantial lead over other 2.
Lambton Jaffas all the way this year .Quote:

So I guess, that’s where it has been confirmed.
