Rutta is a local boy, who will bring a local culture to the club, any Toronto boys choosing to play 2nd division with any other club but Toronto, needs to be asked why, I know yous have one who has been offered before a spot in a National Premier League side up the road, theres a lot of Toronto talent in the 18-22yo age bracket at other clubs, unless you are playing in NPL, id be jumping barriers to go play for my local club..... Go the Stags.... good luck at Kahibah Dortmund, you"s are doing great things, but being closer then stags to NPL is laughable.Quote:

Just saying, need more then a coaching structure to get in to NPL, and Kahibahs is great, but a ground would be handy.Quote:

Uuuuuum I'll explain it for you why blue, and I'm typing really slow so you can keep up, stags are in Newfm hence why I talk about them in this thread ( it's a Newfm thread ) the other page is the national premier league thread, hence why I talk about CCB ..... God I've never typed so slow in my life just so you could keep up...Quote:

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to put the club down but from what I've heard and seen, it's not travelling as well as they'd like. I'm hoping Stags prove the doubters wrong (that's the best part of football) but until I see confirmation of players signing the dotted line, I have my doubts.
What we can all agree on is how much stronger the competition will be next year. A lot of positive news coming out of several clubs. Belswans with Rufo, Cooks Hill rebuilding under Law, Kahibah staying much the same, Thornton dangerous as ever and the unpredictability of the rest of the comp. Barely heard anything out of Singleton and Westy but would expect continued improvement. For the most part, I've said it before and will say it again; really hoping for the finals race to not end six weeks out from playoffs. I'm keen for the new year and that's just 1st Grade. I'd expect an influx in 23's after NPL goes to 20's and the 19's will be as entertaining, if not better than last year.
So what's happening at Wallsend? Why is everyone leaving
Just curious, why will this comp be stronger next year, is there a massive influx of NBN league players coming in?Quote:

Clubs like Thornton, Singo and Westy had some bright moments last year and should be more consistent and then clubs like Cessnock are getting a lot more serious about their football and development. Perhaps stronger isn't the most appropriate wording but it's going to be more competitive with Lakes going up. It's truly anyone's title to win and the playing field seems to be evening out a bit.Quote:

sounds like some exciting times ahead for some of these clubsQuote:

Not sure of a more even comp. Kahibah and Belswans will be miles ahead of the rest.
Have to agree with this, it will be Belswans Kahibah, Cooks Hill and the rest battling it outQuote:

When are try outs for new fm clubs? Or are the teams pretty much already picked. Just curious as I have a few mates looking to change clubs.
Think a few clubs may have already run them.
New Lambton & Thornton have theirs upcoming this week I believe.
West Wallsend & Wallsend this week too
Wallsend's trial details are on our website & Facebook page.
Ccfc in Zpl are interested if you want to contact us.
Can anyone tell me how much rego is for juniors e.g. 17s?
Cooks Hill had U23s & 1sts last Tue/Wed.
U19s tomorrow (Tue 18th) National Pk No.4 - 6pm
U17s now at Athletic Field Thursday - 6pm (was originally at Nat Pk)
U15s Tue 25th Athletic Field 7pm
I can't say exactly what a Jnr rego is as it will vary from club to club with but
the rego should be $100 cheaper that a senior rego going on this seasons costs
for insurance from NNSWF.
The Redbacks would like to invite all new,current and past players to trial for its U19s Northern league 1 side for 2017 on Thursday 20/10/2016 at Tenambit No 2 oval, Maize Street, Tenambit. Registrations commence at 5:30 for a 6pm start. Any other inquiries can be made to head coach Darrel McAllister on 0426 254 300
Toronto Stags have had decent numbers turn up to the trials, all coaches are happy from what I've heard
any news on when trials generally start?
Any transfer news or just any news in general?
What is everyone's prediction for the season coming up anyone think any teams from last season who didn't do so well might be a dark horse for next year and any teams who have done well who might not repeat a similar result would like to hear everyone's opinions
What do you think?
For me, it's the top 2 then daylight, then almost every other team will be fighting it out for 3rd.Quote:

4. Singleton - Will be around mid table.
5. West Wallsend - If they can avoid injuries will be good.
6. Cooks Hill - Should be better than 2016.
7. South Cardiff - Likewise, decent young squad.
8. Cessnock - New coach and culture but long road ahead.
9. New Lambton - Won't be about to tell anything until they announce their squad.
10. Wallsend - Can't see how they will recover after losing the quality they have.
11. Toronto - Will struggle big time next season. Just can't see it improving there after what I've heard from other clubs.
I just saw the revised draws for NL1 + 15s.
1st hub day at Alder Park 12/3 (New Lambton v Westy 3pm)
When do them shovels start kicking in again??
Already gone through the draw and picked out the best games. Round 9 looks good for Derby football and rivalries.Quote:

Any news out there?
Any late signings or train started?
I know that Toronto are having a kick most Thursday afternoons and still yet to finalise there squad, hoping to pick up a few NPL drop outs etc
How is the Old Boy doing as Head Coach?Quote:

Early pre season training should be starting soon for most clubs, more news will begin to filter out I'm sure.

no matter what though I will be at most games when I can cheering on Awaba!
Big news on Timmy, will he make first grade up there?
Wow a lot of exits at Wallsend any one heard much on there recruitment kids or zl2 side a lot of big names out
Trials and training have been great across all grades for NewFM NL1, our ZL1 have more trials this Sunday.
A few of our older guys have moved on, there's always player movements across the senior squads at each club.
You will see a younger,faster & hungrier Wallsend in 2017. I'm very excited for next season, and i'm also happy people are writing us off.
There's been a lot leave Dan but I know you guys will have some plans in place. I remember writing off Belswans last year and we all know where they ended up.Quote:

Cheers mate, we're working hard to keep the momentum up & work on things before the next NPL application. Should be another cracking NewFM season, all clubs have been getting stronger on & off the pitch which is great.
Let's just hope the boy can control his temper, would hate to see a blow up on the sideline.Quote:

For a lot of families it would be near double if not triple coming from interfistrict clubs.
My son played 13 C- Grade this year and is thinking about trialling for NewFM 15s in 2018, but if the cost is anything like I've heard one club charging ($650) We will be having a long think about value for money for whatever club he trials at.
