    The only difference between CCB and the other clubs you mention is that CCB were not able to entice them over - I know for a fact they tried very hard to sign senior players from other clubs.

    The only reason CCB have gone with mostly last years squad and some untried 17-20 year olds is because they couldn't attract senior players from other clubs (for whatever reason).
    Same as any league in the world. The weaker clubs can bid all they like for the better players but the better players will always go to the stronger clubs

    No different when some off contract HAL player is hit up by the Jets Perth City Smurfs Wankers etc.

    The Jets can offer more money but he will sign for one of the other clubs and the Jets will be left with the dregs

    No club should be penalised because of the incompetence of Northern.

    Agree Northern to blame.
    Bates stumbled into Adamstown N1,accidentally
    tell the punters, that Rosebuds H/C and committee didn't know about Bates, especially whilst scoring goals, and winning games for them?

    Sure there are lessons that can be learned for all parties on this topic including Atown.

    That said as volunteers you would tend to rely on the paid administrators of Northern NSW to keep things right from time to time and I am fairly certain Atown were cleared of any wrong doing .

    FYI , Atown won 1 game NPL with Bates in the team and 7 without I believe .

    But hey don't let a good witch hunt get in the way of the facts .

    Given your last few posts one could be forgiven for thinking you may have a few underlying issues with Atown .

    Can only comment on Azzuri, all first graders there tuesday night barring two, one still overseas playing, the other to resume tonight.

    Was great seeing some young blokes giving it to the older heads in a game situation tuesday night, bit more pressure on the first graders this year can only be good, lack of depth there problem last year, dont think will be the same this year, well hope not anyway

    Game v Port Kembla FEB 6
    Return leg FEB 13

    All i know so far as trials

    Yes there are cobra. James Virgili and Dino Faj will play those roles at magic and pettit won't hang around to sit on the bench like Berlin and Tippett did

    Weston may have replaced the Thorntons with one of the largest names to ever play in the NPL.
