Cooks Hill got 2nd, 3rd and first across the grades in ZL1 plus beat Swansea in preseason all three grades from memory plus beat the Cooks Hill NewFM team in a trail and thrashed the Newfm 23s near the end of the season (who were second in their comp) so I'd suspect they would be competitive although they did struggle with injuries, work family commitments over the year being an older squad (all the youngies stayed in NEWFM). Raymond Terrace also looked good in first grade during the finals series. If they could replicate that all year and beef up their lower grades they could give the ZPL a scare... how competitive were Garden Suburb?
