    This is an odd comment.
    Many clubs will change first grade coach at the end this year - does your logic apply also to Hamilton, CCB, Adamstown etc?
    I have been hearing all year that this would be Richo's last season - from memory he was even quoted as having family commitments earlier in the season.

    The others are established top flight clubs, Lakes are first year back in and can't hold on to one of the very few remaining coaches available because of a fall out with the committee!! 2 long years ahead.

    So what is more important, winning U/18 comp or development of players thru to be first graders.
    Maybe if younger ones were developed thru there might not be the need to be paying to bring back the Goody's & Smiths at the ends of their careers.

    Ask the 18's would they rather stay in 18's to make semi's, to be fair its unlikely they can win, or would they rather play 20's. I'm sure if at the start second round players would have jumped at the chance. Same for your better 20's play them in firsts

    if you can't make semis in first grade the back half of the comp is were you make your changes, see if your 18's can step up to 20's, see if your promising 20's can make the jump to firsts

    This is a bit of what I mean by having a strong committee, the 18's coach needs to be told to pull his head in, it's about the club not him.

    I agree that it was no real secret that Richo would not go beyond this year and I believe he was fair with Lakes committee, being honest and telling them that if he took the job next year it could only be for that one year. The Lakes committee wanted someone who would commit for at least two years. Fair enough request by the committee, so they part ways.

    I think that's a better look than every one telling bs to suit themselves

    Why didn't they appoint someone with the 3 year licence period in mind?

    Unlikely they can win ? Must have been a fluke when they beat Olympic a few weeks ago

    Doesn't leave Lakes with too many options, maybe a Nick Webb and Bob Noaumov reunion at Lakes

    lol. not playing 18's in 1sts for a few games is not gonna ruin a career.

    Imagine the pissup after winning an 18's GF. My god there'd be carnage.

    There are barely enough teams in NewFM to meet the NPL criteria as it is.

    I honestly don't see much changing, if say only 12-14 teams manage to meet the criteria, it will be tough luck for some and they will have to wait in the ZLs for 3 years and re-apply and hopefully they get the magical 16 teams to have 2 comps in 2023.

    How about 12 team NPL.
    originals or combined doesn't matter how you get 12.
    1st
    U21's???whatever there told to do.
    U19
    U17
    U15

    then straight to ZPL who will be run by the district associations in 12 team comps, so ZPL-PL1-PL2-PL3 etc
    All the so called elite youth (or second string elite youth) playing 2HD go back into district comps playing in there age groups at there local clubs.
    No promotion or relegation unless someone falls over, similar to the REAL NRL in Newcastle.
    The NNSWFA have set the standard or non-standard in the comps being a invite/criteria/who bends over the most type system, this way, they get who, where and what they want.
    cheers
    PS: Zone teams do not want to be run by Northern, ZPL we have the chance to win more than it costs us to enter the comp, happy days, Northern would only stuff that up.

    Spot on Jardel, there only needs to be a NPL comp then ZPL, League One is only as good a standard as ZPL anyway plus there doesn't appear to be anyone knocking the door down with $, criteria and ability to go to NPL

    Let's start talking some sense here .
    I forget who it was amongst all this rubbish who correctly said that' there would struggle to be , right now , and when the next license is up , no more than 12 clubs , forget the jets they shouldn't even be in the comp , that are anywhere near compliant .
    There will be no 8 team comp either . NNSW have already been there and it failed miserably .
    There are 6-7 clubs in new fm who have no structure or desire to be in NPL .
    The rest are dreaming just now .
    So if anything it would be smart to bring one up and eliminate the bye .
    The jets have to go
    Simple as that . They add nothing to the comp. Nothing at all

    Let's see how the " pop up club "
    Lambton go without full throttle from Chris Sneddon

    Steve Wright really has got Lakes going well . No coach and wants to keep all the useless overage U 20 .
    That's the base for the angst

    As usual the pirate has left his previous club with an empty cupboard . Maybe Olympic might start promoting from within . It worked for greg smith with 5 GF victories .

    Edgy did super last night . Against a team that think they are A League standard

    Any suggestion that CCB properly know as Azzurri merging with the green frogs is piss talk . Will never happen , especially since Sparky has resigned for the 4th time . An ongoing joke


    That's a pretty comprehensive wrap
    My last ever post

    Last thing
    Forever Red - what can anyone say - always a knob , will never change
