    Not a bad appointment.
    Will be interesting if a few players follow him e.g. possibly some Maitland u20s who weren't getting a look in or ex-Thornton players from his time there. The biggest question will be if his son Nathan moves from South Cardiff.

    Is your young bloke going to the Stags Go Away. Doesn't seem to be getting many opportunities in first grade at Charlestown

    No idea mate, just turned 20 so he can make his own decisions, but I think NPL still his first priority... see what happens, but he is a Toronto Junior...but his choice.

    That 13 zip is the equal record for a cookers first grade goals scored in a match. And the biggest winning margin in a match. Going on the 13-2 win against Eastlakes Hotspurs in 2004 ish.

    This is why players bypass this league and go to ZPL where the comp is far stronger. In years gone by this comp was solid now it's a joke almost

    A very poor comp, I can't believe NNSW don't can it.

    That is the aim, take the top 5 teams ditch the rest and have two NPL leagues.

    let's be fair, this result is an indication of how little respect is shown by Toronto than how poor the competition, in particular Cooks Hill are

    Cooks Hill have brought a level of professionalism and effort to this competition that should be applauded, rather than denigrate the whole competition because one club have issues

    Toronto should sort these issues out or step down from the competition

    I see this result as a long-term indication on how unsuited the age-restricted lower grades are for Newcastle Football as a whole. And I hear it is getting younger each year still. I strongly feel Toronto and other clubs would struggle less if the old-fashioned Reserve Grade still existed.

    This is not attempting to take anything away from clubs whom are doing well in lower grades, but moreso bringing up an issue I've been worried about for years.
    OK

    It more of a reflection of the failings of Northern to implement a decent promotion relegation system in Newy

    Cook Hill have been running a good ship for a number of years

    Northern have applied a glass ceiling and stopped promotion to NPL so Cooks Hill are basically waiting for thst opportunity to come up when ever Northern open the door

    Tronto on the other hand have issues and have had for years
    Instead of being relegated into the Zone Leagues where they currently belong they are being propped up as there is no relegation from New FM

    This issue is easy to fix

    Proper football pyramid in Australia at all levels

    Clubs will tgen find tgeir rightful place in time
