    It's probably because he is now not going to finish top after only winning 1 in the last 5 games. Just sour grapes because they may not be proclaimed Premiers.

    Wish we could give Thumbs Up to comments!

    But just wanted to add, I also wouldn't remember who won the Premier League, or the A-League in 2014 either :P


    Sentiments: Banter is good, we need more of it!

    Magics would be embarrassed to call off their ground on the weekend after 2 drops of rain, or was it called purposely 🤷*♂️

    I saw photos of the pitch in the morning and it was clearly a swamp

    Would it have been ok after a few hours of sunshine, I don't know...but it was "under water" that morning.

    Photo was on the competition's FB page. Given the result last night though, hard to imagine Magic had to be worried about playing that game (9-2 scoreline)

    Poor Valo seems to have fallen apart since their head of football signed for Maitland (Just my personal observation); hopefully they bounce back.

    Doubt they would have called it purposely, they had a networking event planned according to socials. As good as everything outside the field fence is amenities wise, the ground itself at Wanderers Oval (inside & outside the Magic Park facility) is pretty dicey at the best of times. District park was the same before the Knights COE was built.

    If the former, then the 2mm of rain that fell shows how poor the ground is, certainly not worthy of hosting any finals these days.

    Newcastle Herald reporting that PPS will be scrapped in favour of a principle's roster, whatever that means. Probably no major change except that clubs with money can spend more on more players.

    The original points system at the beginning of NPL was perfect, it would have worked for all clubs but 3 clubs didn?t like it because they couldn?t spend big so northern changed it to what it is now, pointless, pardon the pun,

    And then Northern are wondering why player spend is so high.

    Don’t know what the big deal is, as in life, the ones with the money have earned the right to spend it as they please.

    The player spend a lot of which is helped funded by kids is what is keeping players out of the game

    Northern have a stated goal of wanting Northern players playing in the Brisbane Olympics need to find ways to make the game more accessible rather than losing talented athletes to other much cheaper codes.

    It is possible to have 18's teams play the same opposition (most of the time) on match day without having to recouple 18's to Senior NPL/NL1, it just depends on whether the Football Operations team have the knowledge and tools available to do it.
