At the end of the day we have about 12% the population of Sydney. The Jets youth will find their level bouncing between NPL 1 & 2. Even if next years Jets 13's are in NPL 4 they should hit NPL 2 at least before 16's or 18's where the best of the best kids should be getting the game experience they need.
If you don't get my point I don't think I can help you. If you are only getting the "best" at 16 or 18 then that's a lot of cash to pay out waiting to hit 16 if you are even still in the squad by then. its 3k a season now isn't it? Lots of them are jumping to the mariners when they figure it out...
