i actually agree with this. westlakes id2s convincingly beat a full-strength singo team in preseason two years ago, and singo weren't even the worst team in newfm that year.
imo the sooner that comp is gone, the better. such a quality disparity between the top 2 teams & the rest of the league.
OK
Absolutely NO WAY would Pettit move to Belswans. Just at the end of last year I heard he was Moving to china or somewhere else in Asia to try and make a career out of football - would he get that at Belswans? No.
Strange thing to "confirm" tbh
I can confirm johnny maj has signed for lambton jaffas.
i was told he was at their training session tonight also

So is it actually confirmed as you said???
OR
Did you just hear it, and now you havnt heard it?
Theres a big difference between that, and that its actually confirmed, signed and a done deal?
I also heard Berlin was going there but ran into him the other day and he laughed at me when i asked was he going to Belswans andsaidno mate, just a rumour someone started
Enough of this doubting of what I legitimately know, if you want to call it just a rumor, then do so. I know, I'm just going to wait till season 13 and watch both Pettit and Paul run out onto blacksmiths oval and think to myself 'I told you so'
P.s Berlin was never even approached or wanted at Belswans.
Not only that i think 9 out of the 10 teams in NBN will want him in there stocking, The tenth team
he is to old for (jets youth).
Mind you he is in his 30s and runs like a 20 year old.
Speaking of pettit i can confirm he is at magic. and why would a wing back compete with 5 STRIKERS.
And Berlin was Approached by belswans by Shane Pauls Dad.
All above Confirmed by a player of magic which is very close to both players. And also by there coach Chili
Firstly, thank god for a civilised conversation for once. This is the whole purpose of the forum, to voice opinions, listen, respond, learn, choose to ignore, move on.
Berlin would be an excellent signing for any team.
Petit, could also play for practically any club in Newcastle and be an asset. Personally, I find it odd if he was going to play for belswans. Nothing against the club, though for somebody aspiring to be a professional footballer (jets, Asia etc) Playing in a second tier competition ANYWHERE, doesn't really make sense. On the other side, he may have given up, see this as an opportunity to challenge himself and take a bit of the pressure off.
Belswans, have a load of potential, all the best to them for their 2013 season.
I have heard from my friend who has a son in the jaffas 17s that they have signed the following players;
There is only 3 I know of that have been confirmed and been training;
Johnny Maj
Abe Wheelhouse
Tommy Smart
APparently they have kept their full team from this year apart from Mason Palmieri who doesnt want to play football anymore (waste of talent??)
Not sure if anyone else knows of any others??
I also heard that Lakes have signed the Walker brothers from Olympic.
Thats at least 3 players left from the starting 11 in Olympics grand final tea, Maj, Tom Walker and Austin retired.
jimmy fogarty is at jaffas also
I hope he likes prison food.......and penis
Have heard Lakes were interested/had signed/gentleman's agreement with at least 1 players from Southy 23s.
