Interesting considering trials are not allowed until the 14th.
I have not been keeping track of the NPL youth trials, is this going on in the lowest NPL youth grade as well?
No one from Merewether was there either. We could not find anyone who wanted to go, even with a free ticket...Quote:

But to answer your question, yes a number of NPL, NewFM and WPL teams will be approaching players before trails, offering spots and inviting players to come and have training sessions with the club so that coaches can see them beforehand and potentially offer the spots and sign them up before trails start.
So the rumour mill is in full swing, what I have heard is Southy handing in their licence and Magic talking to NNSW.
If NNSW put Magic in at this stage of the year, it makes a mockery of their whole application/assessment/approval process.
I know Garden Suburbs have been keen for a while, and would be justifiably pissed if this happened.
Just need to move Thornton to Cooks Hill and you hardly need a car...Quote:

I haven’t heard anything about this, not from the club directors or anyone involved with our WPL. Care to elaborate on what you’re heard?Quote:

The only thing that would prevent it happening could be that South's may not like a women's football(soccer) team running around on their field that is tougher than their league team
Sadly, no.Quote:

Merewether very happy with the standard of player we had trialing in U14/U17, definitely the best standard we have ever had. We had to let some girls go that we would like to have kept, but not enough places....
Seems that the awareness of WPL is growing.
Brad jones announced as New lambton coach.. what happened to Keelan?
Left to spend more time with his family and to concentrate on his job with the Jets I believe..Quote:

Whole lot of spin in that article
Anyone heard the rumour that magic have told all their incoming girls that they have to pay rego and no one is getting paid.. I do hope this is just a rumour or at least I’ve missed a big chunk of the story..
How do the Wallsend club feel about this move?Quote:

I really hope that NNSWF are not so dumb that they don’t realise what is happening here and put some type of protections in place for the girls so they are not just used up in order to facilitate the opportunity for these clubs to obtain additional funding opportunities over the next couple of years then promptly shown the door.
Someone needs to tell the president that their men's program isn't that successful at the moment. What did they just run , eighth or ninth in an 11 team comp. Highly successfulQuote:

Have heard they will play out of Islington Park.
Magic charging players from 14’s up $300 for kit plus $1500 registration.
Will quickly see the real motivation why these clubs are taking on women’s football.
Is this the same amount that they charge the male players from 14's up and if so where is the problem ?Quote:

Refer to earlier comment about motivation.
Funny the letter we were provided said otherwise.
WPL Seniors = NPL Youth.Quote:

Thanks for clarifying.
$1500 instead of $1800?
Much more reasonable.......
Did South Wallsend pay their 1st graders last year?Quote:

Indeed Magic and Olympic are happy to do it because it means more money and more grant money they can get by saying they promote Women's sport. It's why Adamstown every now and then asked Adamstown Juniors to take over their WPL team, get the money.Quote:
