There not meant to be HAL standards

What you wanting is these clubs to be much stronger than they are so all clubs above them are stronger and the competition in all our comps is raised

If a club want to be in NewFM and can't be arsed getting the juniors in place to be NPL ready then they might as well go play Zone League
That is only half the story. Juniors in New FM have different age groups once they progress past the 16's eg 17 and 19 as apposed to 18 and 20 in NBN or whatever the top grade is now called.
