also, im assuming the one big squad in 11's is due to the field getting bigger for next year. Does anyone know if thats been decided by NNSW yet?

Gonna be interesting to see what happens to the 15+ kids cast off by Magic/Jaffas/Olympic for next year. Because if everyone else decides to not hold trials then theres gonna be a lot of decent kids with 2 years training in the program with no team to go to. It will be a shame considering that the following year in 12's they'll all be out looking for new players because i believe they go to full field and need a squad of around 15 each.

Seems a bit daft to turf kids for one year only to then need them again.
