The entire cup is a joke the way NNSWF run it.

Co-incidences occur in life... We all should be happy we have the opportunity to participate in this event. When coincidences occur in the champions league or UEFA cup teams just get on with it, and anyways what does it say for the organisation of our clubs and competitions when teams are still being promoted and relegated leading up to the start of the season, and we are worried about coincidences in state cup draws.
I'm sure the ICAC or CAS (Court for Arbitration of Sport) would like to hear our grievances on this matter.
Yes you would say that magician because your team didn't get drawn against a heavyweight in the 1st round. Why try to act like the draw is random and picked out of a hat when it is clearly not. They are better off pointing to a white board and selecting the teams for round 2 to show how the draw is being conducted
Hard to go with tips as bit early but just for fun here goes:
Magic 12-0 Thornton
Weston 2-2 Adamstown - Weston win on penalties
Olympic 7-0 Singleton
Lamb ton 6-1 Belswans
Southy 3-3 Maitland - Southy win on penalties
Azzurri 4-3 Lakes
Cessnock 3-1 Toronto
Edgy 8-0 Westy
Did Valo get the lucky draw and into next round ?
thats being generous to singo mate..Originally Posted by NewFM 2014
Really !! You think Hamilton 22s would beat singo by more than 7 ? Wowthats being generous to singo mate..
is it a 22's cup now?
Its the State Cup there are no age restrictions in it so it can be what ever age you want it to be I believe.
why hamilton 22's then?? nothing personally against singleton i just feel they struggle to be competitive against teams in their own division let alone NBN.. I'll be surprised if the scoreline isn't a blow out
He's trying to say that Hamilton will play a team with a few 22s considering its only singo.
both scenarios are actually 50:50. there are only 2 outcomes, yes or no.
I see that.. good luck to singleton either way
I'm as concerned with the whole structure of the "CUP" competition as with any aspect of a "false" draw conspiracy!
My thoughts:
the number of teams going thru to the finals series, considering quality and numbers participating????
maybe should be:
Northern Group - 3 teams.
NPL/NEWFM - 3 teams.
I/D Group - 2 teams.
OR
If those I/D guys are willing to put their teams where there mouths are then….
make the whole "southern competition" compulsory entry with registration and have a "proper" knockout draw with:
Northern Group - 2 teams.
Southern Group - 6 teams.
Thoughts????…. let 'em roll!
Think you'll find Sancho that most ZL sides want a open Cup with the NPL sides to be seeded and come in at a later round.
I think you'll find "premy" that the reason the original concept for the southern pool was changed in the first place was because of limited entries by "ZL" clubs. Make it compulsory for all clubs and revert to the original "knockout" competition with the "finals" weekend reflective of the quality and numbers of teams from each pool!
I personally think that all of NNSW should be in the same hat and names drawn out. If round can be broken into north and south then round 2 all thrown in together and if you draw ballina in ballina so be it nice pre season trip. Round 1-3 to be played in March .
1st WE MARCH Round 1 ZL 39 teams North 22 teams separated
2nd WE MARCH Round 2 ZL 20 teams and North 11 and NewFM 10 teams (31 Total 22 progress so really only 9 games get drawn and other 13 teams receive a bye) This allows the last 32 to be a full knockout
4th WE MARCH Round 3 NPL 10 + 22 from Round 2 (ZL, North, NEWFM)
Round 4 last 16 Easter
Round 5 Quarter Finals Easter
Round 6 Semi Finals State Cup Weekend
Round 7 Final TBA
Weston have lost every penalty shoot since the days against Adamstown in the hard fought Grand Finals from the 80's and early 90's so you may be onto something. From what I've heard about Singleton it will be double figures. Thats if they can get enough players to fill a side.
Send it to Northern Swanky I would love that format.
Fair point...Maybe its just the people I converse with that feel that way, personally I would like it to be NPL clubs seeded much like what Swanky suggested above.
it is compulsory for all ZL teams to enter isn't it?
swankys draw is just about spot on, don't send it to northern thou someone might steal it
