They shouldn't be able to do it, times have changed. Why should they get to take the Newcastle name?, what would happen if every over team in the Newcastle council area requested to be called Newcastle?
Newcastle District cricket association recently knocked back Cardiff's request to be called Lake Macquarie for the same reason.
Nothings sacred anymore, no tradition left, not sure they they did it but doesn’t make sense to me
Two rounds in and only 2 clubs with 100% win records.
Wouldn't have picked that
A beautiful Easter Sunday and no football, imagine the crowd on a stand alone fixture, crazy
https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/s...to-the-future/ They went back to their original name.
You are forgetting that the players are not even semi pro and have young families.
Well done to the clubs and federation for scheduling the games early in Easter and therefore still allowing the players, coaches & volunteers to get away for a few days or at the very least a few days with their families.
I enjoyed the sunshine watching this. Buds fielding a young team with an inexperienced Coach. Can't Blame them. Free hit. No relegation. A couple of decent lads there if they can keep them. Not much in rest of Youth apparently which is sad for a famous old club with a good facility. Azzurri look ok, but something is not right when Goodchild comes on and looks most likely. The NPL looks open and shut. Some close results but depth wins it. Edgey, Maitland and Magic plus Jaffa$ depending on who else they buy.
After round 2 what would everyone be thinking regarding early predictions.
I think Lakes have proven a worthy opponent at this stage although granted only one point from six but given the opponents they have faced it would appear they will be a tougher beast than 2020.
