If I was a Stockton player and my game was called off today and then another club comes along tomorrow and gets to play on my ground. I would be up in arms and having harsh words with my committee that’s for sure.

So looks like any club can scramble for playable ground
Or instead offer club trial instead.
That way every gets to play which is most important, right? and worry less about points :rof::rof::rof:
Can you blame them though?They are competing for 1st place,and its clear they arent the only club who have the same mindset.Quote:

um. point 2 is directly related to point 1 so overall it's an issueQuote:

It’s literally what northern suggested clubs do.Quote:

I get they think they are running out of time, but it's the highest level of the sport we have in the region. Its about time we as for a please explain as to how on earth its OK to implement a promotion relegation scheme when teams can't even get a fair amount of game time. Its a joke.
Agreed,i think next year they have to make it very very clear how washouts will be treated and have a much better contingency plan.I know we all assume that it wont be this bad again but the change of draw will happen after 11 games next year so theres even less time to get early season replays in.Like many have said,utilising Speers Point more for all teams is the easy option.Theres a bit of discussion on here about the extremes clubs are going to to get their games in but I hope NNSW shows the same amount of urgency going forward.Quote:

We all have been F***** over here.

Just continue to let the other clubs who really care about kids and their development do the real coaching while you just chase the top kids. Yawn, old news i know.
ObsessedQuote:

I?ll be keeping my kid there as long as they will keep him.Quote:

Go away grub. Your wrong, deluded and are a cancer. Early recruitment is your success not your coaching. :lol:Quote:

Aww jimmy is a bit rattled. Put your dummy back in your mouth jimbo, Recruitment is part of coaching is it not? Don’t hate a club for being 3 steps ahead of the rest. Maybe your club should try find experienced coaches also like ours has and not ones that try to coach from a book off the internet.Quote:
