How is Cooks Hill looking? any thoughts ?
6/1 result for Toronto looks worse when you factor in they played against 10 men most of the match.Quote:

Exactly what do you need to have been at the game for???Quote:

Anyone who from this can't see that Tronto are a fair way behind the rest and have lots of work to do are deluded
Should read Walker Brothers 6 Toronto 1.
They played far above the level anyone else has played in NewFM for a couple of years now.
Tom Walker I think scored 2 great Free kicks and Sam got a penalty in the second half. Channeling Phil Stubbins, we didn't concede a goal in open play in the second half
While Yes Toronto were no where they needed to be, I don't think anyone gave up.
Long rebuilding season for the Stags.
Lakes v Wallsend should be a good game this weekend. I'll tip Lakes by a goal or two. As for Toronto, very long year ahead for those boys.. Hopefully they can compete a bit better for the rest of the rounds. I get the feeling it won't just be Valentine & Lakes pushing for top 2. Sides like Cooks hill, westy and wallsend seem strong from what I've heard over round 1. Predictions for round 2 anyone?
Hi Sancho , was this against Wallsend , if so u/17s Wallsend defeated bellswans 4-1
Westy were not what you would call strong.Quote:

Mark was playing more in the 10 role but was not doing much chasing back in defence leaving their midfield a little exposed number wise. Though he does make up for it with quality touches and vision far beyond this level.
A side with speed and fitness could easily stretch the shit out of Westy and I would expect the better sides in the comp like Lakes Valo to tear them apart.
Westy are stronger than last year. They ain't semi final prospects though they just aren't the whipping boys they were and will pick up their share of wins this season and will be a lot more competitive against all sides
Ok I'll bite...Quote:

Toronto 1 lose to West Wallsend 2 - Westy to go top of the table with a 2nd win
Lake Macquarie City 3 to beat Wallsend 1 - I agree match of the round - Tough draw for Wallsend - Valo then Lakes to start!
Cessnock 0 lose to Thornton 2 - Thornton should win this
tronno has one T fellas.
Is there relo for Newfm this year? cept for last year other years have seen a closed shop
That'll teach me for going for the singleton upset. By all accounts they had their chances to equalise and even pinch a win (could be a few biased opinions I'm hearing though).Quote:

Being a First Grade Player at Toronto, yes we underperformed against a 10 man outfit, but remember those guys have been playing together for years, our whole squad has been made from scratch. It will take time to adjust to the speed and aggressiveness of this comp.
Yep! As I said "it's been a long time since Singo has taken all 3 points at Blacksmiths". I must say it was a fairly even contest, although BelSwans did battle the last 50+ minutes with 10 players (Joel Shearer shown 2nd yellow and red card". I did talk briefly to the Shearer brothers after the game and they were impressed with the Singo squad (very competitive) and basically unrecognisable to the brothers. They could only pick out 2-3 players from last year. Personally, I think Singo will upset a few teams this year and will be a lot stronger, especially at home.Quote:

Wallsend 17's Beat Valo 2-1 Even though is should of been about 7-2 but Wallsend Beat Belswans 4-1 in a Trial The week before
Predictions round 2.
Cooks hill 1 - 5 valo
Belmont Swansea 3- 2 Kahibah
Cessnock city 1 - 3 Thornton redbacks
Toronto 0 - 2 west Wallsend
Lake Macquarie 5 -2 Wallsend
Bye over singleton
Thanks , i thought you were talking about the trial match the week beforeQuote:

Pretty sure it's already been stated on here that Valo are playing at their training ground due to Cahill Oval being used by cricket and CB Complex has just been returfed.Quote:
