What a goose. The gap is getting smaller and smaller, there is plenty of evidence to prove it. If you watched the Valentine game for the majority of the time you would have thought Kahibah were the NPL team, and there not even a good NL1 team.
The difference in player budgets is the only massive gulf. There are 2 pretty recent NL1 clubs playing for the final 32 spot in the FFA cup. Just add a bit of depth and all the top NL1 clubs would be competitive NPL teams
