He is from the Suns

I thought he was their first grade coach?

Well some of those young players might hang around but you can only have roughly a squad of 30 so either way 15 current players are being politely told their services are no longer required

Look in the long run it may work and might be the way forward. However in the short term it is going to cause a lot of damage and unrest and the successful clubs in particular are going to be...

But where are these new players coming from?

But the point we are making is that those players might not be around to start a ZL3 comp

I think it is a risky move eliminating any teams from playing football. If the average zone league squad consists of 45 players well that has now been cut down to roughly 30 playing members

Just...

Asking those guys to go and play for another club is not exactly catering for them

Well I can name at least 6 of those teams who would definitely prefer to keep their 3rd grade so Insiders numbers are not adding up.

With your ties to Dudley I am not sure you would be so outspoken on this opinion if they were still in the competition.

Suns
Cardiff
Kotara
Warners Bay
Mayfield
Uni

So that means

Olympic

NNSW NPL team of the year what a farce. Magic win the double yet only two players are picked in the best 11. Meanwhile Jaffas who produced one of the biggest bottle job performances in the...

I get what you are saying and I am borderline on it as well. However I just feel that a team that finishes 5th in a 10 team comp probably should not be rewarded with the chance to play in or win a...

Agree this is the correct model and I think 40 zone league teams across 4 divisions is the magic number we should be aiming for. I dont mind the 5 team final series however if it does revert back to...

The other question is should Zone league one even remain a 12 team league or do the federation give Westlakes a polite tap on the shoulder and we go back to 10 teams?

I just mentioned two strong teams from the division below who I think would be a positive addition to the competition.

Stockton 2nd in the league
Southern Grand finalists

Theoretically yes unless NF do the sensible thing and promote either Stockton or Forster.

Cardiff did have a poor year last season but Zone league one is a better competition for having them in it.

Dudley are going up and NO ONE is coming down

Croatia are coming up

Therefore if Minmi go down we are currently left with an 11 team comp

If Minmi stay we still have 12 teams

Stockton or Forster to come up surely

You can read the rules as much as you want pretty boy. As of this moment there is no confirmation that next seasons Zone league one will be an 11 team comp.

Unless they want Zone league 1 to be an 11 team competition with a bye round then Minmi will be remaining where they are.

With all due respect they possibly should look at forfeiting their place...

Likely want to keep third grade:

Suns
Cardiff
Mayfield
Kotara
Warners Bay
Uni

Unknown:

So out of the 12 clubs in the league other than Minmi & Westlakes I wonder who would prefer not to have a third grade team?

Giving yourself a wrap. Nice one lol

I just think it is impressive a club like the Croudace Bay Crabs (nee Hamilton Azzurri) with a wage bill of zero could beat a team full of paid players (Croatia) to the top of the table last season
