Charlestown edgy off

Which NPL club does the best chicken schnitzel burger? I would say Olympic is best and Jaffas is worst. Lambton you need to get rid of that highly processed garbage and invest in some quality schnitzel.

When games get called off for wet weather who do we blame? The club for having pitches with lousy drainage or the local council for not upgrading their facilities.

Don't rule out Council's being overly protective of fields as a major issue. Growing up playing in Queensland, games were almost never called off for wet weather - Councils there understand that community sports fields will take some knocks during the season. Only in extreme weather would grounds close.

Newy and Lake Mac need to realise that community assets are not so precious that cannot be used at the first sign of rain. Yesterday was different obviously, but the habitual closing of fields at the first sign of rain is appalling. In my opinion!!

Maitland have some quality schnitzel burgers

[immersion]

Looks pretty cold and miserable at Speers point watching the Charlestown vs Edgy game. Rain and a bit of wind it sounds like on BarTV.

BTW, surely Keanu Moore has to be dragged at half time. Awful. He'll go on to bang home 3 now.

Edgy with the bulk of possession. Azzurri having a good chance but the lad decided to cross instead of pulling the trigger.

Josh Rose edgy coach from 2021

Josh Rose edgy coach from 2021

Rose has taken over immediately. That's the word I am getting.

[ForeverRed]

Both the coach Hamilton and and manager Rod Lindsay were red carded last night, anyone know what for, the latter doesn’t have a very good track record

Dissent toward official.

Hamilton has stepped down with immediate effect - Didn't feel he was part of the clubs future plans.

Or maybe he has W-league commitments that he wants to concentrate fully on.

Or maybe he has W-league commitments that he wants to concentrate fully on.

Or maybe he is a bit precious and when told he didn't have the job beyond this season he spat his dummy, packed up his bat and ball and left. He had the perfect opportunity to showcase what he could do as a 1st grade NPL coach over the next 3 months but Instead threw it in and got sent off for dissent in his third game in charge

100% correct Hurra had an opportunity even if it wasn’t going to be at Edgy plenty of other clubs on the look out. Failed to handle the heat and got out of the kitchen. Back to coaching the All Age Woman comp........ sorry WPL.

Unavailable players and who the opposition is, is also a contributing factor in clubs calling games off

For Zaney to leave after what he has achieved at the club, somethings not right and now Keelan after 3 from 3, you don't have to be Einstein to work out the one man show has lost the plot.

Have heard Zane has 5 Edgy players following him to Magic.
Dom Bizari has already left and is playing reserve grade with Magic this year, which will help with points for next year

[mge61]

Alex Butt gone also?

[Aegon]

Alex Butt gone also?

So edgy are without first grade coach, assistant coach or reserve grade coach.

Hopefully some senior players are stepping up as it has the potential to derail the season.

At least this happened during a shortened season that many will always place an asterisk against. Edgy should be fine as long as they are sorted before 2021.
