Claiming the NPLW is costing them the same as the NPLM? I call bullshit big time. Can only see Gema Simon and Melina Ayres on the big $. I bet Regan takes home more than both of them tooOriginally Posted by onlooker

Incorrect, both budgets are the same, you can?t blame clubs for charging after it was okd by northern
They actually went against the consensus from all of the clubs on charging for entry for the womens...... If we don't blame clubs who's responsible? ain't no one else charging entry when we are trying to fix the women's competition.
These clubs need the money guys, charging each child near on $2k for rego only goes so far.
Perhaps don't pay players as much if a club is strapped for cash.

Newcomers Lake Macquarie City look set to lose their first-grade goalkeeper for an extended period of time after Taylah Gray was red-carded against New Lambton in NPLW Northern NSW on Friday night for alleged match official abuse.
Gray was heard to be using offensive language and questioning the referee's decision to award a penalty in the 88th minute of the match at Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility after Tara Andrews was felled by Caitlin McMahon in the 18-yard box.
Gray was issued her marching orders and Andrews converted the penalty to seal a 3-2 win for the Golden Eagles and an individual match treble.
"I was really happy with the performance of the girls; it was hugely disappointing for it to end the way that it did," Lake Macquarie coach Gabrielle Blanch said.
"I'd like to say a draw would've been fair but I do think the girls deserved the three. It was just unfortunate the way that it did finish up."
Last year, Northern NSW Football introduced tough new measures to stamp out match official abuse.
It meant, the first instance of match official abuse from a team - player or coach - resulted in a three-point competition points deduction suspended until the end of the calendar year. In the case of a second offence from the same team, a total of six points would be deducted.
The minimum penalty for a player or team official directing offensive language or gestures at a match official was increased from a minimum four-match ban to six matches.
Last season, Mid Coast player Ceara Walker was handed a six-match ban for saying "F*** off" when called for offside in a game.
Gray had also played the earlier game for Lakes on Friday night with the club's reserve-grade shot-stopper sidelined after sinus surgery.
"We're in a little bit of a pickle at the moment that we're trying to work through," Blanch said.
"We obviously understand the zero tolerance policy is there for a very good reason, so it's hugely disappointing that that's the case and the fall-out of that is obviously going to really hurt us, if I'm completely honest."
Andrews had opened the scoring in the 42nd minute but Tahlor Thackray equalised two minutes later.
Andrews again gave New Lambton a one-goal advantage in the 53rd minute before Ani Jensen levelled in the 78th minute.
Thackray took the gloves for the final few minutes of the match.
It was New Lambton's first win of the season after a 6-1 loss to defending champions Charlestown followed by a 3-1 defeat at the hands of last year's premiers Maitland.
New Lambton had goalkeeper issues of their own in the first two rounds but have since secured former Newcastle Jets shot-stopper Claire Coelho through a long-term injury replacement dispensation.
"It's been good to get a goalkeeper with experience like that because putting a player in goals is not ideal, and Claire did a great job, probably made a couple of good saves," Stedman said.
"Pre-season was great then we had a couple of little speedbumps in the first couple of rounds, so to get the first win was great.
"We went into the game with a bit of pressure, so we enjoyed the win and there was a bit of relief we were able to get a couple of points on the board and move forward."
On Sunday, Maitland beat Adamstown 2-0 at Adamstown Oval.
Renee Pountney got a foot to the ball at the back post in the fifth minute and Keely Gawthrop extended the advantage with an easy close-range tap-in in the 61st minute.
Georgia Amess and former South African international Marry Ntsweng played a part in both goals.
The round-four exchange between Charlestown and Broadmeadow set down for Lisle Carr Oval on Saturday afternoon was postponed due to a wet ground.
Lakes keeper has been given 8 match suspension. Precedent has been set. Hopefully players learn to keep their mouths shut.
She has let the whole NPLW at Lakes down so hopefully all the Clubs take note. I understand it can get frustrating on the field when things don?t go your way but like you said, keep your mouths shut! We need umpires and many only did it for 12 months and don?t come back due to behaviour like this.
Is this true? Against abuse but seems overly sensitive. Bruno says it all the time. Apologies by ITV in the UK for the same word being overheard on TV last week. We have really gone soft.
Given that most ARs on first grade would be under 18, I think it’s entirely appropriate. Even if it’s an adult, control yourself, or don’t complain about quality or numbers of referees. Can’t have it both ways.

For me it depends on context, if you say it to no one as a vent of frustration, I don't personally think there should be an issue.
If you're making eye contact with the ref/linesman and clearly are directing it at them then I'm fine with it being punishable.
The problem is there is plenty of grey area in between that is open to interpretation by officials which gets harder to have easy decisions on.
I understand what you are saying what is disent and what is abuse. But in your context it's still a red card -R6. Using language and/or gestures in frustration, and 1 match suspension. See the table on page 33 of the premier competition regulations.
Now if the referee thinks you swore at him or her in frustration then you run the risk of minimum 6 weeks. Simple remedy is to keep your mouth shut.
At present and based on the results, Magic is in for a long season ahead. They need more quality players to get out of current form.
Sounds like some dodgy calls made by New Lambton on the weekend, the Wet Bulb was well under the maximum, and then claims of a couple players not feeling it. Did Adamstown agree to this or were the refs bullied into stopping the game
Why would New Lambton want it stopped unless they actually had players suffering they were up 4-2.
