Hamilton have, over the years, always recruited well out of Newcastle Football's SAP/NET programmes often getting the lion's share of kids and they appear (from the outside) to be a well run and well coached club. No idea on how things are internally, but Hamilton's results over the years make them a club of choice for a lot of kids.

They also have a great canteen!!
Hamilton and Jaffas get 90% of the NF Net kids...

Hamilton have provided the Newcastle NET with training equipment every year in exchange for preference. Also as of 2019 the NET TD now runs the SAP of Jaffas and Olympic.

Magic holds their own, when the NET is dissolved next year Olympic will have to develop their own 12s... and currently in the SAP over the last 2 year's no Olympic SAP has beaten a Magic SAP.

In the end toast the players that make it from SAP to NPL 16's with the one club. MAGIC has one of the highest retention rates for player registrations carrying over at 83% so it must not be that bad... some of the "top" clubs last season only kept 3/16 players in some grades.
