More so a spread of current players. Belswans have picked up some quality, Kahibah will be stronger up front, Cooks Hill have Graham Law as coach who is rumoured to be bringing some A'town players. Clubs like Thornton, Singo and Westy had some bright moments last year and should be more consistent and then clubs like Cessnock are getting a lot more serious about their football and development. Perhaps stronger isn't the most appropriate wording but it's going to be more competitive with Lakes going up. It's truly anyone's title to win and the playing field seems to be evening out a bit.

As for Wallsend, they've appointed a new coach and from a few people I've heard they want to promote some of the club's Zone League team into NewFM. I've heard they want to promote youth as well and build towards NPL over the next three years. Hence some of the old guard moving on and some players following.
