Good win for Kahibah tonight. Sets up a cracker for Westy and Toronto this weekend
And with that win for Kahibah it seals Belswans to finish first (seems for the first time finishing first in any comp for 40 years) and guarantee promotion.
How?s Robbie Turnbull, reports are he may have done serious leg damage when they won the penalty and got westy player sent off.
Awful challenge for Westy's red.Quote:

So teams must have all youth to go up.Quote:
Should a team without Premier Youth League teams finish in one of the play-off spots, they will not contend the play-offs
and the remaining play-off teams will move up their position within the play-off.
Stags did well here. Their 15s, 16s 18s may be getting flogged but this allows for shot at promotion. Same for Singo & Westy.
Alternatively, why is Adamstown allowed to stay in NPL when they cant fill the youth teams?
Northern says teams have one year grace which is why Charlestown was allowed to stay up last year.Quote:

Kahibah Reserves with their second red for ref abuse. If Northern do what they told everyone they are going to do will make the race for finals more interesting.
Perhaps there were six witnesses that said the official misheard. Seems to work for NPL clubs. I am sure NNSW will deal with it. 🤣🤣Quote:

Interesting how ref abuse gets you 6 weeks off, and potential points penalty, but nearly take a blokes head off or snap his leg and you get less, there are no point penalties and the 'victims' club can be penalised by losing a player to injury for potentially weeks or a season.
Clearly names hurt more than sticks and stones these days.
Didn?t you know it?s different rules depending on what club it is.Quote:

Seems to be little advantage in finishing 2nd OR 3rd . They both play each other anyway over two legs and no away goal rule
Maybe the Stags should finish 4th and send Adamstown packing then?Quote:

I assume you're talking about Toronto 1st grade, the second red was for a second yellow, 1st red, believe was for ref abuse. Only 3 other yellows show to Stags. Perhaps don't be put in dirty tackles and you won't be shown a card.
And both coaches, if you think only one doing dirty tackles was Toronto, you were watching wrong game. One of our strikers copped blatant shot in his back and couldn?t play 2nd half. Anyway I hope they enjoy their last game this year next week.Quote:

I seen that article in The Herald, I thought it was a strange comment. Maybe tell the players that but didn't see the need of putting more pressure on the team. Normally the lower ranked team puts the underdogs tag on to take the pressure off.Quote:

Can anyone actually seeing them beat Adamstown over 2 legsQuote:

Really ?.. was unaware of this.Quote:

There was talk they have asked to go down to reset. Any truth to that?
