I thought FR meant that Weston are not the strongest NPL side and Cooks Hill are a very strong New FM side and he thinking Cooks Hill would get the win in a possible match upQuote:

So Swansea have a better chance of beating Cooks Hill than Weston do?Quote:

The comment was, if cooks hill beat Swansea (to get to that point) he thinks they could beat Weston.

Congrats Go Away - 5 from 5 and one correct score!
Wasn't that hard really, does show the gap between 1st and 2nd division but, all be it they are four of the top NPL sides.Quote:

In saying that, Cookers and Thornton will give NPL a real shake tonight.
Unfortunately azzurri have massive injury toll, so they might struggle
Scores show really how poor the NewFM really isQuote:

Pathetic really
You would struggle to find the top 11 players from wallsend still in the squad from the last 2 years. They are spread out amongst kahibah and belswans theses daysQuote:

Even worse when you see that these NPL sides had a decent number of 20's playing.Quote:

They should also scrap age restrictions on reserve grade for all divisions. Good enough then your old enough.
I think it looks even worse for newfm when you compare their results against lower division teams
has it always been this way?? or is it just recently
Wallsend are only a shadow of the team from the last two years so not a good comparison to make.Quote:

Some of their lower grades are also doing very well (15s and 18s) which is impressive given they have all had to make the step up.
There are some quality players running around in NewFM unfortunately not enough in most teams to hold it together against NPL opposition.
Be interesting to see a game between say Kahibah or New Lambton against Jets Youth to compare quality.

So you consider getting beat by 8 as accceptable ??Quote:

You dont even see the A League sides towelling the NPL sides to this extent
To me thst is a pretty piss weak effort from the side conceeding 8 and a reflection of the mediocrity in NewFM
the fact is the npl has the best first graders, the best under 20s and u18s theres not much left for newfm, its not nnswf who have it wrong, their only going by ffa rules,
Which is how it should be. Which is why the NewFM should be defunct and merged with the Zone leaguesQuote:
