I have heard Muswellbrook have been offered Wallsend's spot. The association are probably waiting for their response before puttingout draws. I guess it maybe a similar decision to Wallsend's. They have only been offered Zl2. If they feel like they can't compete in that division they have 2 options.Quote:

Not sure of the details so correct me if wrong. I'd heard Muswellbrook nominated or expressed interest in ZL3 to help celebrate their 100th season but were knocked back. Then they get a call on Thursday to go into ZL2 needing 3 grades and we need an answer by Monday. Knowing how hard it was years ago to maintain 3 grades up there I'm imagining the answer will be no.Quote:

The Northern board who wanted to streamline the running of football and not have these people at NF and MF running the zone leagues has been ousted to ensure that NF, MF and the people and boards of each remain getting paidQuote:

They have dropped in and out of grade over the years, so it's really not a disgrace they are not included, it's more of a shame we don't have more clubs putting grade sides in and having 4 divisions not 3.
15 clubs ? But what Cardiff didn?t want to or couldn?t nominate again ?Quote:

Fitness levels massive difference, but that's normal for us, especially this time of year haha. Good first proper hit out though.
Only one of those teams are in zone 1 as per this threadQuote:

Clearly shows the best 12 sides aren't in zl1, failing to relegate a team last year probably means there are around 3 zl2 teams that would be at least better then the bottom 3 zl1 sides.
Obviously Newcastle Football have their favourites.
I agree.Quote:

Make the change Newcastle football!
Here we go, someone?s winning trophy?s in February againQuote:

Not sure where you got that information, couldn?t be further from the score
Cardiff 2-1 Bolwarra Lorn
Suns 2-2 A central Coast side (Don't know which team it was).
Well what was the score then if I got told wrong?Quote:

Why would Westlakes and Cardiff, both Macquarie teams, be favourites of Newcastle Football?Quote:

Cardiff finished bottom and remained up, so be it. If it wasn't for the crabs rebranding themselves, it would have just been a straight swap between those two. So how a trial between Westlakes and Croatia comes into this is beyond me.
Croatia also beat Lakes. Does that now mean NNSW have favouritism for Lakes and are being rude to Croatia for not putting them in NPL?
You guys seriously need to move on. I know the Croatia guys have certainly moved on and are focusing on their season ahead.

The point I was making is that it's clear zl1 doesn't contain the best 12 zone sides. Maybe by relegating 2 sides and promoting 2 would solve this issue.
Yeah I agree, but I think you could find it would often be like that over the years. The top one or two in ZL3 might be stronger than ZL2 bottom one or two. It's just how it is.Quote:

Crabs might feel hard done by, but I think it's fair at least that they weren't demoted. Cardiff had a bit of luck, but that's just the way it goes sometimes.
Newcastle Olympic res 2 Dudley 1
That’s their NPL reserves, right?Quote:
