Barnsley - coming from zpl should win more games then lose
Bero - finished last year off well and should go close to finals
W/baby - have lost plenty of players and no major signings but will still be competitive
R/terrace - have looked good the last couple of years
C/town - will compete
Nelson bay -
Kotara - have to pick a wooden spooner
No comment for the Bay?Quote:

I reckon Cookers to come last after an investigation shows they're over their salary cap. All the third party sponsorships to get the NEWFM boys to drop back smells fishy....
Haha, mate there's no way we'd let any of those blokes get a red cent after deserting us to play for NEWFM last year. All good mates from the ZPL days, some went to NEWFM some to ZL1 all 1 big happy family again now.Quote:

I'm really hoping this year that the standard comes close to ZPL, don't think they'll be many easy 3 points on offer.
On the contrary for my pick. I suspect top 4 due to their preseason results.Quote:

Looks to be a bloody hard comp, with my limited knowledge of how everyone is shaping up I currently think only 2, maybe 3 can be written off and I'm not silly enough to name them.
Sponsorship? at Cookers??Quote:

FIIK what it is. Walked both sides of Darby St once for $250 from Jack 'Natural Tucker' Arkless.
Only football man present on the street.
My predictions and yes its bloody hard. Going along, i got to 7th and couldn't believe i hadn't put Jesmond in yet.
Hopefully no one is offended its just my guess with limited knowledge on this comp.
1 - Cooks Hill
2 - Stockton
3 - Kotara
4 - Barnsley
5 - Bero
6 - Terrace
7 - Jesmond
8 - Charletown
9 - Nelson Bay
10 - Warners Bay
You're correct it's difficult to predict, very bold saying WB to come last didn't they win the GF last year?Quote:

Not as bad as what's going on across the harbour. They've re-mortgaged the Washtub at Stockton to attract some of their players.Quote:

How are all the fields/playing surfaces looking, I drove past cookers today and it still looks a bit scrappy tbh. Warner's bay looks like it really could be a awesome place to play if it gets a mow.
Wow buddy you must need glasses...... The surface is mint. Our NEWFM boys played Adamstown NPL in a trial there last Thursday and the Adamstown boys were saying it was up there with their pitch. I must admit I'm spewing we have to wait till the second last round to get on at Nelson Bay, that pitch was perfect.Quote:

Barnsley definitely looking the best it has in years. Hoping it holds up all seasonQuote:

Drove past Kotara Sth's pitch on the way to work today.Quote:
