Keeper sent off today for Adamstown was Paul Bitz, who was recently signed as back up to Carter whilst he is serving his 4 week suspension, regular U/22's keeper came on to complete the remainder of first grade.Quote:

And 17's are currently 8th so years if neglect still showing there
But pascoe's links to youth thru HSH and old jets youth contacts could bring some hope
Is this the same keeper that has leaked 20plus goals in 4 gamesQuote:

Then get around to strengthening their NPL Yoof teams so the problem is fixed permanently
They are a buying club not a developing club, its the way it works in the NPLQuote:

I'm not sure the quality of the surface is given much weighting, Northern focus on amenities, referees rooms and toilets for all the spectators.Quote:

Name a club that has been relegated recently that wasn't in the bottom half financially. The points system/salary cap didn't work.
Have you not been watching the EPL this season?Quote:

1st magic. They have too much firepower in the front third and are strong all over the park.
2nd olympic. Quality squad and will push magic all the way. Best Defence in como but won't score enough goals
3rd edgeworth. Just below the top two. Really are missing Walker and McBreen yet to score. If they are to win the comp maccas needs to start scoring
4th maitland. Big spending on a new coach and players should see them sneak into 4th place. The addition of Clarke will help with the lack of goals
5th Charlestown. Had a great start to the year but have had the easy side of the draw. can't see them getting many points out of edgy,magic and olympic over the next free weeks
6th jaffas. Seem an unhappy camp since the departure of previous coach. Same playing roster as last year nearly struggling to adapt to new regime
7th weston. Always competitive as shown by 0-0 draw with magic. Defensively sound but I can't see where their goals are coming from
8th valentine. A few injuries will test their depth. Yet to play edgy magic or Olympic and can see one or two blowouts here.
9th adamstown. 5 send offs in 5 games including their keeper 3 times. How do they recover from this .
Last jets youth. Too many young players not ready for this level. Defensively poor which has a lot to do with their age. Luckily no relegation this year
Applications were sent out last week for 2017 NPL... has anyone seen what is involved?
Didn't know this was the EPL thread.Quote:

If I am way off the mark then please correct me.
The jafs spent big money to get into and now stay in the main game, it didn't come with luck it came with funds. Not being critical, it's just the way it is.
You have a short memory regarding Lakes mervan. Go back 5 or so years ago when they won promotion. First year promoted they spent up big.Brad Swancott , Danny Burt, Andre Gumprecht, O'Sullivan, Brown , Jock Tannock,Sean Babic , Shane Knight just to name a few. Like Zico said, poor management and relegated within 3 years. There is nothing wrong with clubs spending money as there is no salary cap. It's whether they can sustain it long term or notQuote:

Fox Sports will be doing documentaries called, " ones to watch " as part of the PS4 Player Pathway Program, where a short documentary will be done on young players, playing NPL during the FFA Cup broadcasts later on in the year, all clubs nominated three players aged 16-20 in their senior squad.
Two from NNSW have been selected by Fox sports and filming will be done by Adam Peacock at the Regional Football Facility.
Who was selected?
Or will it be decided when our two representatives are decided?
Any scores from Maitland and Jets game
Maitland up 2-0 at halftime
Good point, but I think they ran out of money, they didn't have a real good squad when they got relegated or am I mistakenQuote:

Will be interesting to see where maitland are at with Jaffas edgy and magic in the next 4 weeks.Quote:

Yeah Olympic have started well. Same as Magic
But titles not won in May
This weekend will more than likely expose a couple of issues for one side they are going to need to work through if they are to win the thing though
For the victor though their issues to be challenged by still await to be overcome
Wtf
someones been smoking the whoopy weed again .
Which is probably what they will doQuote:

Question to all the critics of the 💰💰💰💰 in the game
Do you realise that there are 15yo rugby league players in Newcastle that have contracts exceeding $10k pa. plus equipment, medical, physio & gym memberships
There us a 16yo in Newcastle who just signed for $40k to play cricket
Point is it's 2016 💲💲💲💲are part of what we do. Kids developing thru all sports are looking to earn money
And if it is on offer at other codes but not football than where will the kids go ???
The game needs to pay its players, fact of life,
Surely rhys cooper would've had to have been close to that young ffa cup player watch thing
I think only injuries will stop Olympic. someone sometime will test out Bertos ankles, Illusionists and Edgey wont be far behindQuote:

Anyone else down at Cahill today?
