My eldest son plays and referees in YPL.Just to add to some good points from earlier posts.When you pass the NNSW test to become a ref you need to nominate which comp you want to referee in.You...

Which NPL club though?Plenty of kids who make the Jets get poached from one club to another along the way.To think that their last club before the Jets was the one that really developed them isnt at...

From what Ive been told it wasnt one specific incident in Newcastle,rather a general unease at how referees were treated by crowds and coaching staff and the amount of young referees that have been...

Has there been any sanctions placed on Admastown for not fielding a team this year in one of the grades.I am assuming that Wallsend 18s are part of NIAS.Last year it didnt really matter for...

1.Please turn your sarcasm detector on I was joking.
2.Please re-read my previous posts regarding the importance of any of this,you'll see we agree.
3.Please re-read point 2.In fact,we agree on...

Im sure a certain club that had all games called off would be more than fine with missing the next round because of draws.Anyway I'm glad they are staying as trails.We all had this discussion...

You only need to look at how many games were called off due to field protection,rain or heat to see that then trying to reschedule catchups midweek involving travelling teams was a night mare last...

Correct,and I'm assured that the home official supported the referees decision to abandon the matches today.So well done to him and the home club for prioritising the kids wellbeing.

Whatever the number as stated in the heat policy.Its not my department I just listened to what the referees decided.

The reading was several degrees over the threshold according to the referees.They had no choice.There was really only one person there in club gear carrying on,Im hoping it wasnt anyone on this forum...

No idea on the severity of the abuse but hopefully no one acts shocked.NNSW could not have been clearer with what the consequences were going to be this year.

When I posted this on the 5th of December last year it was in relation to the Adamstown 15s not fielding a team for this season.

Well done to NNSW for getting the message through regarding the emphasis on referee abuse.All parents and coaches I spoke to over the weekend knew about it,had seen the presentation and were taking...

Ive already seen and heard of a few new coaches at Azzurri so I think you'll find the changes that were needed have been made.I would be shocked if they dont start 2025 back up in Div 1.

Talk to any of the kids or parents who have recently left and they'll tell you all you need to know.Those kids are still out there and playing at other clubs so its not as if they arent good enough...

No.

Rosebuds havent fielded a team for their 1st official 15s trial this weekend.

Not at some clubs thats for sure.

I heard of games being played quite early yesterday so they were probably under the threshold for heat.Games scheduled for later kickoffs were called off at some grounds though.I dont agree with...

?

Just my opinion.Happy to be proven wrong.

Interesting season ahead for Rosebuds.Seniors will be one of the favourites to get relegated and their youth looking like they will end the season in Div 3.Hard to recruit players if thats the...

There are plenty of very talented players in the 3rd tier.The very top of the top tier just tends to have 16 very good players,where as the further down the ladder you go theres just less of them per...

Because theres not 'too many teams' its just how they are structured,which we all agree with.I like the current structure but there will be floggings in the 1st part of the season.But thats ok...

So you disagree with my point then in the exact next sentence repeat the exact point you just disagreed with.
