Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to put the club down but from what I've heard and seen, it's not travelling as well as they'd like. I'm hoping Stags prove the doubters wrong (that's the best part of football) but until I see confirmation of players signing the dotted line, I have my doubts.

What we can all agree on is how much stronger the competition will be next year. A lot of positive news coming out of several clubs. Belswans with Rufo, Cooks Hill rebuilding under Law, Kahibah staying much the same, Thornton dangerous as ever and the unpredictability of the rest of the comp. Barely heard anything out of Singleton and Westy but would expect continued improvement. For the most part, I've said it before and will say it again; really hoping for the finals race to not end six weeks out from playoffs. I'm keen for the new year and that's just 1st Grade. I'd expect an influx in 23's after NPL goes to 20's and the 19's will be as entertaining, if not better than last year.
Just curious, why will this comp be stronger next year, is there a massive influx of NBN league players coming in?
