Agreed ForeverRed. Jaliens at 38 and Mcbreen at 39 are too old for this league and even though they have both had great careers i think they will struggle with the pace of the npl. Technically they will be better than most in the npl still, but from what i have watched the nnsw npl is all about pace and fitness. It will be interesting to watch these to. I think Mcbreen will do a lot better than JaliensQuote:

Likewise McBreen, if he's playing as a genuine 9 he doesn't need lightning pace and will be too smart for many defences imo. Like that fat striker for the Jaffas that consistently performs...Quote:

Nice to see you have a high opinion of coaches.Quote:

Weston and Edgeworth are going to suddenly produce exceptional centre backs and centre forwards on the one or two hours on the two/three days a week they train/play. Either that or the centre backs and centre forwards at those two clubs are going to be the best in the league in 2016.Quote:

My point was more how instead of saying Johnny Maj you called him that fat guy from jaffas. I do get your point about some players without pace do still do well in this leagueQuote:

Bravo NNSWF... restore some credibility lost by Macquarie Footballs ridiculous decision... show the football community that cheaters never prosper!
This is the biggest joke ive seen in local football. he's clearly done the crime. Witnesses place him in the game, what other evidence could there be? He has to do the time now.Quote:

How can you blame a person who fronted up and put his case forward, the matter was dealt with by Macquarie and should now be done and dusted, nnswf are treading on a very thin path if they think a publication in a newspaper has any credibility, all you do gooders out there need to have a good look at yourself, I could imagine if this bloke played for broadmeadow you would be defending him bid time magician, like I said he fronted up and copped what he got, there's little more he can do, don't blame him for macquaries mistakes,Quote:

macqaurie are just dumb fu@ks to hand out a stupid little slap on the hand rather then doing it properly, for which now they might just look at future punishments seriously.
Agree FR, if NNSW create a precedent by punishing a player based on an article in a newspaper, they are absolute fools.Quote:

Having said that, Northern are showing how incompetent they are yet again, by punishing someone based on a media article - AMATEURS!!
Of cause you would say that being good friends with himQuote:

Young Billy is of equal ability to Johnny, plays all his juniors at Valo and breaks into 1st grade because Valo are a shit side. Make the jump regardless. Now that is ridiculous.Quote:

That being said though FR wouldn't all players and coaches be signing some type of code of conduct thing where they are obliged to behave by??Quote:

Issue really is that old mate has spoken to the paper about a matter that he really shouldn't have when it was still being dealt with. Where was the we are gonna fight the accusation no comment at this point in time diplomatic response??
Was referring to a certain club president from the same club a few years backQuote:

Seems like Clarke learnt his lesson there.Quote:
Clarke referred the Herald to his legal representative, who declined to comment.
It would appear that Northern are looking to punish someone based on what they said to the media.Quote:
