Why is it ridiculous??

The standard in the NSW NPL is far superior to the NBN so the players would be tested better. It would also help our scouting situation a bit better getting a better fix on that comp.

Add in with the Gypos there already the day will come soon enough where WANKERERS and SMURFS are also in and us being in the NNSW League will be being left behind.

I ain't convinced that this is a goer yet. The time is right when the EJ are dominating NNSW level and add in the relationship the Jets have been trying to build with Northern in the last few years under HSG I am surprised they would be bailing just yet.

At least with the Women the argument is the standards are not there in NNSW to test the female EJ sides and Northern can see that.
Currently the standards are high enough to test the boys though hence why they only won 1 GF in top grades

"Toronto Awaba Stags Football Club are pleased to announce the appointment of Tony Jovcevski as Head Coach for the 2015 season. Tony comes to us from his previous position with Broadmeadow Magic. The Club would like to wish Tony, Staff and Players all the best for season 2015."

In my opinion it would be in Northern's best interest for the EJ's to be in the NSW NPL 1 or 2. Other local Clubs wouldn't be so reluctant to release/recommend kids to Northern/EJ's if they weren't competing against them week in week out. Also EJ's would be in a higher standard of competition so the Elite kids/parents would want to be involved.

I agree we should be going there eventually anyway and I have been advocating it for a while now.

I just ain't convinced it will be happening in the immediate future

Have heard the end goal for NPL/NewFm is to have 2 12 team comps with promotion/relegation on a 2 year cycle guaranteeing the team that comes up has at least 2 seasons in the NPL.

Both these "Premier Leagues" would have to have teams in 1sts - 22s - 19s - 17s - 15s - 14s - 13s.

NPL should never be 12 teams, not enough talent for 10 teams.

Northern nsw have stuffed the two top leagues around for too long. They should stop dictating who plays where and go to promotion/relegation including the interdistrict clubs. Simple

In my opinion, Cooks hill will finish top half of table maybe even scrape into top 4 and Wallsend to be mid table. I really think both of these teams can step up and really compete.
The rest look about right, although you would expect westy to be a bit stronger than last season so they might jump a couple of spots.

We havent heard anything about belswans, cessnock and toronto so far so it will be interesting to see how the matchups from those boys and the newly promoted lads turn out

A couple of decent players makes a huge difference in this comp. Be interesting to see the new signings at all clubs. Valo to romp it in tho

Toronto has been quietly going about its business for a change. The new coach was appointed Tuesday night. We have also had a pretty solid turn out for 19s/17s trials the past 2 weeks. We should have 2 decent teams, the 17s are very young with almost every player turning 16 next season. Stay tuned for 1sts/23s trials if we decide to hold them. Make no doubts about it the club is in a rebuilding phase, but this time we have a core group of young, local guys that bleed Blue and Yellow who are loyal to the club. We won't be world beaters quite yet but we will be competitive.

So with the young guys getting developed and how our current development programs are in place you are saying we will never have enough talent for a 12 team comp FR.
Something to look forward to.
I disagree.

Hopefully not ever never

Maybe this is ForeveRed's insecurity and a reflection on Southy's position in the league rather than an honest opinion.

Just an honest experienced opinion, magic should have more concerns looking where they finished this season
