Any truth behind rumours that RD1 has been reset for this weekend coming as all games were postponed.
No chance. It’s Northern. We will have Easter football being a spare weekend for everyoneQuote:

Clubs are welcome to discuss these fixtures with their opposition with the potential to play them over the Easter weekend (senior only) or midweek, provided both clubs agree under regulation 22 of the Premier Competition Regulations.
So they’re reckoning on no more rounds being washed out between now and then.
Midweek games are an option. I like this idea because I can have a schnitzel burger for dinner while watching games.
Yeah that is a long way off to replay a rd 1 gameQuote:

Maitland Youth far too strong for Cookers.
Olympic v Valentine

Instead of eating them, spill the beans good Captain. Enlighten us to who dares to be your friendQuote:

Maitland V Cooks hill
13s 8-1
14s 6-0
15s 15-0
No 16s team
18s 6-4
Lake Mac v North Coast
13 2-7
14 0-9
15 1-4
16 1-4
sigh
If you are sighing over lakes results in round one, you must be new to football in Newcastle. Shame they missed the games against cooks hill and they got rescheduled, they likely will be wins for lakes this year.Quote:

There used to be lots of opportunity to play up, and that still happens - but without that opportunity the others may feel they aren't getting anything out of it if they aren't winning and also aren't getting opportunities in the older age groups.Quote:

If they split the youth comp like they are talking about it might change a bit, but then some kids also won't want to be stuck in the bottom of the split either, even if that means being further up the ladder.
Anyone know who new Edgy Youth TD is?
Apparently Captain Carl does.Quote:

Last year he was co-coach of the Edgeworth 14s who finished 2nd so he must be pretty good!
He also coached a Charlestown team that got beat 22-0 so I wouldn’t use that metric. He is doing a lot for indigenous football and is a good bloke so I wish him luck.Quote:

Not sure I get the point of going back to smaller pitches and sides for 13s and above, what’s the perceived benefit
I got the gist that the ones being run by NSW football for the older age groups that they would be longer games, possibly on a bigger field. Not too many details on that one yet though.Quote:

If its not replacing their normal football but is rather in addition to it then I only see it as a value add.
Plus with these things its all about the opportunity to have different people see you and play opposition that makes you more aware of where you sit in the scheme of football at least across NSW - where are you skilled and what do you need to work harder on, being at the top in northern doesn't mean you are at the top of the game of NSW in general, and being challenged is a good opportunity.
I feel it will be a good opportunity for those that haven’t had the academy opportunity to press their claims for future consideration.Quote:

Ultimately looking forward to seeing it and watching some good football.
Up till 14s 9v9 is great providing its at least box to box and there arent 16 already in a squad which makes it difficult for the Jets 13s 14s.Quote:

Got a link to info?Quote:

not sure if cooks improved significantly from last week in the 15's or if theres concern there for Edgeworth with a 3-1 win over cooks after Maitland put 15 past them last week.
big turnaround. Edgy 15s are good but Cookers did improve alot.Quote:

We had a couple out being covid close contacts this week, if it’s really off for them were they missing a few?Quote:

Everyone wants to play, but the cost of doing so will affect the rest of the season for everyone trying to play catch up on goal difference and for cooks trying to bring it back down again.Quote:

Seriously mate stop stressing, if your boy is good enough he’ll get his opportunity next year, the annual exodus to the mariners will open up a few spots…Quote:
