I was under the impression we could only play Mariners Smurfs Nix Glory or Victree in this round.

We can't get WAnkers Roar Pissants or Heart and the non league teams until next round assuming we win a game

To me the system is shit

It should be random. NPL clubs are a long shot at drawing a HAL side. Rather ridiculous Jaffas reward could be a trip to Tasmania when I am sure they would rather a game against any HAL side
It has changed but not random.

There is now 2 pots - HAL teams and Member Federation teams

First 6 HAL teams drawn will play all A League games - 3 matches

First 18 Member Federation teams drawn will play all non league games - 9 matches

Leaves 4 A league vs Non League matches
