Valo rested plenty of players and Buds beat Maitland in both grades on the weekend. I think both will be fineQuote:

Any truth to Riley smith heading to Olympic due to an argument in the dressing room?

Hopefully they do, at least it is for the team where the abuse occurred and not just first grade as was first raisedQuote:

Edgy recruited very well.
Magic lost a few but can't dis-respect.
Maitland lost a lot but gained some quality.
Azurie lost there GK .. big loss but will still push sides first half of season.
Valo bit of central coast player and overseas recruitment & perhaps local players as well!
Weston have lost some talent but im sure they will be there abouts.
Olympic rumors they have recruited some very decent players.
Cookers quiet but playing the long game have to respect.
New Lambton Piddington will make a deference but? haven't heard much else .
Adamstown much the same as last season?
Lakes very youth orientated.
just my opinion from socials from out side not looking for bitching just opening up chat on what others have herd or confirmed.
cheers to no bagging but positive chats in future
Adamstown have recruited two Japanese players plus a few Olympic throwbacks! Not the same group as last year. Three have moved in but bigger squad (not better) than last year!
You can?t say that many clubs signed decent players cause there aren?t that many aroundQuote:

Hearing ?around? ( through players) a bit of trouble in coaching ranks at buds - assistant coach walked out , not a great start for new coaching group
How did they go against Kahibah?Quote:

Well, the competitions angriest goalkeeper has already copped a red card for dissent in one of the trial games but apparently there were no consequences. So I'm going to say....probably not.Quote:

A very soft red card!!!
31 minutes into Azzurri NL game on BarTV.
I was right in front of it, terrible challenge, straight red every day, pause bar tv and you?ll seeQuote:

Have to agree, red card any day of the week. Gone over the ball, studs into the shin.Quote:

What I saw was 2 players converging on the ball at the same time. One tries to pull out at last second to minimise contact, very little contact occurs. Other went down way too easily. Suggestions by some as studs up must have been difficult for him from a upright position and virtually stationary at point of contact. Certainly Azzuri player quickly recovered from life threatening injury.Quote:
