Go the gunners
On their performances from last year with the recruitment they have for this year they would have to be one of the leaders for this season, i think depth got them last year looks like they have fixed that up should give Cooks Hill a run for there money.Quote:

Anyone heard anything about Singleton, Cessnock & westy squads? Much changes?
Boring thread for a boring league. Let’s try and get some talk going!
Mass changes out at Cessnock once again, a lot of young guys with NPL 20s experience stepping up to 1st Grade there and some with 1st Grade NPL too, Greg Anderson I think from Weston at least.
Stags, nothing ever changes there, threw huge money at Dan Minors only for him to go back to CCB. Had a few other locals come back, but nothing to write home about. Long time committee member has just resigned and apparently they have just 5 Under 15s players. Just another day at Awaba.
Singleton, quiet as usual. Westy played ok against Barnsley the other week, but they are a ZL1 team so it’s hard to gauge their quality.
Cessnock lost to Kotara South so who bloody knows. It’s the same story every pre season - Zone League teams beat NewFM teams.
Quick prediction for 2018
Top 4 in any order
Kahibah, Belswans, Cooks Hill, New Lambton
Next in line
Southy, Thornton, Westy
Bottom looking up
Stags, Wallsend, Cessnock, Singo
Came across some videos on YouTube from NewySports last night. Pretty decent 45 minute interviews with players and coaches from some of the clubs. I imagine the aim is to eventually get everyone that is willing.
Some good stuff and promoting awareness of the competition. Doing more than NNSWF imo.
Worth a look if you follow the NEWFM.
Kahibah vs Kotara South last night at Harold Shite Oval.
23's? Vs res grade - 3-0 Kahibah
1st grade - 3-3
Not to sure how to read into the NewFm comp. I have played 2 trials ( I am aware they are trials ) against teams in NewFm. Kahibah last night and Cessnock on Sunday. The quality is "good". I wouldn't say any better than the top 6 teams in ZPL last season.
So my question is does having this "23's" grade actually bring down first grade due to not being able to have greater depth with older players in a reserve grade style comp? Like the old statement of " if your good enough your old enough" we had 6 guys under 20 play 1st grade.
Kahibah big result over Adamstown 2-0 win in 1sts, not sure of the squad strength of Adamstown.
Adamstown 9-1 in 23s/20s
Adamstown 2-1 in 19s/18s
At this stage the Newfm comp is beyond embarrassment.
I dont get it.Quote:

The gap between the bottom NPL teams and the top NewFM teams is rapidily closing. Cooks Hill and probably South Cardiff would be competitve in NPL, Lakes proved that last year.
Bit of a long shot, any Under 17 teams still require one or two players? Know of a strong player that had to recently move to Newcastle and is looking for a side.
Please PM me I may have a lead for you.

I went down to Cooks hill earlier without looking at the draw. expected to see the belswans there.
Some zone trials on or something.
wtf? who made that draw? Just had a look at it. y-tf aren't cookers playing on a SAturday?
they always do. No reason for it to be on tomorrow. that and its always better to go to a sponsor pub on a
saturdie! NNSWF . 3 initials missing.- NFI-NNSWF
add to all that the fact its gonna be a stinker tomorrow. cluless f***s
I am not sure they realised it was going to be so hot tomorrow when they made the draw.Quote:

Add to that, that mad man Murphy, shedding his St Patricks Day cheers on us. Pub shut today due to a staff 'Christmas Party'. Why on a Sunday?
Cause Cookers play Saturdays...or used to. I can understand it had it been something to do with the 14s, 15s & 17s kicking off today.
Nope. That's next weekend.
Wallsend 2-1 stags ... half time
Maybe a couple of cookers in Melbourne for buck show and returned in time for Sunday game, just maybeQuote:

Get the cavalry back from Cookers FR, the weekends result was embarrassing.
