Well definitely not compared to the current squad. More to the point was that I don’t think they were the best team that season.Mediocre
It's football, not s***er!!
Any word on when some FFA cup games are being played
Suns Vs Dudley Wednesday 20th 8:15 kickoff Speers point complex
Disgrace that Kotara forfeits the first round of the FFA Cup.
How can you not field a team of 11-14 players 2-3(?) weeks out from the beginning of the competition.
The ZL1 forum says they couldn't agree on a date due to Kotara having trials and their season launch booked in. Guess they wouldn't want to put a dampener on that after losing to west lakes.
IMO if you enter the comp and you forfeit there should be a fine.
Weak as piss from the toothless tigers.
Agree they should be made to play of fined. It makes the comp a joke when they forfeit so they can still piss up.
Agreed. Also surely FFA Cup takes precedence over any "locked in trials".
My thoughts exactly, what could be a better trial than a competitive fixture in a national competition?
They are playing Uni in a trial for god sake they are ZL2 surely the federation can force them to play to avoid this.
NNSWF had to give several teams the bye in order to even out the draw. Maybe next year the clubs that have forfeited could be prohibited from entering as a sanction? Would eliminate some byes in the process.
That's no punishment they were happy to pull out this year so missing next year is nothing

FFA Cup.
10. Forfeited Matches
A forfeit will include, but not be limited to a Club being unable or unwilling to:
a. participate in a Match within 15 minutes after the scheduled kick off time due to any act or omission of the Club; or
b. continue to participate in a Match (including because it cannot place the required number of Players on the field
due to Offences or injury),
but will exclude any inability to participate due to a Force Majeure Event.
In the event a Club forfeits a scheduled FFA Cup Match:
a. prior to kick off, the opposing Club will be deemed to have won the Match by a score of 3 goals to 0; or
b. after the Match has commenced, the opposing Club will be deemed to have won the match by a score of 3 goals
to 0, or the actual goal difference at the time of forfeit, whichever is the greater.
A Club that forfeits a Match will be deemed to be in breach of these Regulations and may also be subject to additional sanctions by NNSWF including potential financial compensation of NNSWF and/or the opposing Club.
Didnt realise there were so many wild cats on here 🤔
When you get to play against such as prestigious opponent like Newcastle Uni ZL2 ... you dont pass those kind of opportunities up.
You guys are all just jealous, wishing it was you getting to play. Sorry guys the games locked in you all miss out on the chance.

Not that is actually concerns anyone who has posted here, however the decision to forfeit the cup fixture was taken after discussion with both Westlakes and NNSW.
While it is unfortunate, members of the comittee agreed it was the best option for the club as a whole to proceed with our trials vs Uni (ZL1 FYI) this weekend.
Coaches spend months planning preseason, shift workers have to alter rosters to play trials, and committees/sponsors spend time organising club functions, all to hopefully havs a successful season.
It is ridiculous to think that all these things can be changed at the drop of a hat so close to the comp starting. Our decision sees 40 odd blokes playing 3 grades in their last hitout before the season, an opportunity that would be lost if we had to play the cup fixture.
Westlakes also have a trial this weekend, and they were also trying to swing things to avoid having to cancel it. Our preference was to play midweek, ideally tonight, but as we cannot host and NNSW decided Westlakes would therefore host, we had no option after Westlakes said they could not host until this weekend.
It's unfortunate that this was the decision we took, but now both clubs will be playing 6 games of football instead of potentially just one. Neither side is without a game, good luck to Westlakes in the next round.
If anyone else feels like the decision has affected them and wishes to discuss it further, please give me a call on 0421667431 and I'll be happy to allay any fears you have about the way we came to the decision, or the way we run our club.

Meh too much common sense here.
Back over to the rabble:
At the risk of sounding ignorant and not trying to have a go - but could you not still have ressies and thirds play the trial and keep the FFA cup game for firsts? So 40 blokes still get a hit out?
Maybe Uni won't want to do thatsoz answered my own question
Haha.. jeez, thought it was the Disc Golf thread for a sec, where it's just Grim talking to himself..Maybe Uni won't want to do that
