Merewether, New Lambton or Kahibah could come up. I don't think the relgular ZL2 (Hamilton, Nelson Bay, etc), would get the numbers.
Or West Wallsend ZL3 could make the big #SurviveTheDrop™ double promotion, they seem relatively strong and from pre-season (FFA Cup) seemed to have good numbers and plenty of youth.
Weathers could struggle with numbers for a promotion. They seem to have sorted out the happenings of the last few years to set themselves up for a good year, but depends if they have some numbers waiting to form a 3rd grade.
I'd say if New Lambton can finish in a decent spot on the table they'd be the sure bet to come up. Their All Age squads already do some training with the ZL squad, so it's a natural fit.
This years finish is going to be interesting. I already know for a fact many squads are losing top graders to overseas trips and others are affected by injuries at this moment. Hard to tell with the new faces every week to see where a team will finish. Still 11 or so games to go, shall be a tight competition.

Fire away..
Swap Stockton to the top 4 for Gardo above and I think it will be pretty close.
I think that Stockton, Cooks and Raymo are the best teams and i'd be very surprised if 1 of them didn't win it.
Azzuri has obvious quality but have had a few stumbles having given Wallsend, westlakes and marylands all a big chance of making the top 4 if they can put a run together 2nd half of the season. Gardo just needs to get players on the pitch by the sounds of it
Morriset and Uni seem no chance of top 4 at this point.
Numbers shouldn't be an issue for any team. Newy let them join with only 2 teams this year.
Interested to see how many the terrace put past Morri this weekend? I’ll go with 10
Cats vs Stocko
3rds 0-3
Res 3-1
1sts 1-0
