Agreed, it will be great to see NL be more competitive in 1st grade, hopefully results there may have a trickle down effect to the lower grades. on paper it looked to be a pretty tough season from 13s to 1st grade for NL.Quote:

Always rumours, but NL is chasing and offering large amounts of money. No doubt some Bay players will follow their head coach to MagicQuote:

Everything else currently feels forced.
Bring in a points system!!!!Quote:

Totally agree, there are not enough players of a standard for a Premier competition.Quote:

It has shown with the Jets W-league results over the past few years.

Fairly sure its just a season at a time with only very select marquee players offered longer contracts, which would be less then a handful in their history.Quote:

Unless you live on the coast don't underestimate the travel load to play in Sydney, once you include that all your home games will be "away" games 2 hours + from home plus training there it is a significant cost and commitment, even if you are getting paid to play.Quote:

Makes sense, Jets are basically just a development squad for the Sydney and Melbourne teams.Quote:

WB coach could be headed to NL also as an assistant to Cass similar to this year due to coaching paperwork or lack thereof - was heading to Magic until they enquired about the same paperwork so JC will be back at Magic next year. Not sure why they would be looking to move on from WB when they have had such a great year and are hot favourites and deservedly so to win next weeks GF to go with their minor premiership - Maybe the budget is bigger at NL and some of the players won't need to play for less money than they could get elsewhere just to make sure their captain coach wins the comp? NL don't seem to have learnt much from the last time they won/bought the title, hope it ends better for them this time round.
From one of the girls I know she was told by NL that money would be no object last year when wanting to bring her over. She is staying at Olympic.Quote:

That makes it interesting if Dad is there maybe won't need the WB coach as the assistant again.
Seems like NL already have enough coaches then.
Dad won’t be coaching.Quote:

Greg is an excellent coach and does not require "mentoring", you obviously don't know the real story around his previous departure.Quote:

Agree Lowe is a great coach. Maybe Dad will mentor the WB coach if he moves to NL and help him obtain his badges so he can take over in the future. In saying that apparently Dad has already been with NL mentoring for a year and that doesn't seem to have helped any of the teams? Probably now makes sense as to why the players leaving WB and going to NL has been the worst kept secret in NNSW Football since the first round of the comp not even being completed.
Particlurly since they are both from South Wallsend and Wallsend which had a rivalry when the WPL teams were thereQuote:

Any news if this will happen ?
Didn't Cas Davis' old man play for NL back in their former 1st Div days and isn't he currently their Youth TD with Zane? Doesn't her brother play 1st grade for them? Cash or Family reunion?Quote:

Well done to WB, let's see if the money being spent by more clubs will even up the competition or just see a new side become dominant.
