I can't believe all this banter on NPL junior squads about where sides will finish and who will be strong etc etc. FFS they're only kids - let them just play and develop. Leave all your predictions for the senior NPL threads.

I think if you talk to any of the kids at these age levels, they're not just playing and developing, it is very competitive. We're not talking about ID B grade or U6 small sided.
If you don't like this banter, then don't read this thread. I myself quite enjoy it.
yup
Any player movements?
Gains and Losses for each team?

If they won more, they would've ended up with more points.
Where's captain obvious when you need him/her?

here he is
You missed my point - most teams can say they should have finished higher, with a game or two that got away from them for whatever reason.
FMC seemed to be claiming Charlestown should have finished higher. My point was at the end of the day winning 6 from 20 is not a great result!
News in Newcastle Herald today that Jets are withdrawing funding for Emerging Jets Program for 2015 season. Thoughts ???
I think its the perfect opportunity for NNSWF to overhaul their "elite" programs and look at getting back to providing development for juniors thru the NPL comp that is in place and is where the elite play and should play. Imagine if they contributed some funds to clubs to assist clubs in developing youth ??? we would have a development program for approx 180 players in every age group 13'3 thru to 17's WOW.............
But problem is they are now bogged down with the new Football Facility and it needs to be funded..............so some sort of program will need to be implemented...........Eland admits that parents of elite players will need to contribute to ongoing maintenance etc of new facility..........so NNSWF need a "program" in which they sucker parents that thier elite kids needs to be part of and pay us big $$$$ so we can maintain our elite facility...........
And yes I know girls are effected by this but they have a WPL thread to post in
Interesting that Middleby is quoted as saying "I have made it clear to potential owners that the emerging jets has to be a priority going forward"
But for some reason they cant commit to funding themselves ??
Maybe a potential owner want to run their own professional youth program, with the real talented kids and the correct program's and coaching ??????
Lets just hope if they are all filtered out in to the club system, they dont get prioritised over kids already selected for club sides, because, newsflash, half the kids in the club system are alot better then EJ kids. Some clubs have already put EJ kids that missed out straight in to teams, jumping above other kids, unfortunately they may have a shock coming.
Could not agree more Go Away.
It would be very poor form for any NPL club to expect loyalty to them and frown upon any player who trials elsewhere, then ditch those who have stayed loyal, accepted a spot for 2015, only to then be ditched for an EJ player, who is probably not a lot better than the player being displaced.
DISGRACEFUL if that were to happen!
