Yes it is refreshing to see refreshingly different styles. What isn't refreshing is seeing blokes hack and kick away and teams resort to Wellington Phoenix like tactics in the NBN League. Styles should at least revolve around having some degree of respect for retaining possession in some form. Not just to kick the bejesus out of ball and opponent

Glad to see I touched a nerve with some of the sweethearts on here.

If you think the standards are being set by the bulk of the NBN Clubs are good enough then god help our region. We have had 3 successful years in the National League NSL/HAL in about 30 years where we have been thereat the business end of the season. Since the likes of Col Curran Baartzy etc what Socceroos have we been producing?? Lowey Halpin Zane ??A real stellar cast there. The clubs are who develop the players from schoolboys through the grades to Breakers/Jets level and then onto Australia. At the end of the day the results have been quite underwhelming

Who is to blame for this. The NNSW Federation should be holding its hands up to a large proportion to this. Secondly our clubs should also be taking some large responsibility for their short comings.


Most of the clubs in the NBN League are stuck in a 20-30 years ago Time warp and it is high time they started joining the 21st century

De Champ I am aware that Magic were around before 1995 it was then they joined the NBN Level and have kicked on.

Forever Red I don't go for Magic. I just pay them respect for what they have achieved in the last few years. Maybe whatever club you support can pull their socks up and one day join them as flag bearers for the comp.

Another reason i can have respect for Magic is they were probably the only team who actually tried to outplay the Jets Yoof. They stood strong and tried to play their own game and backed themselves to be better and won out. Every other team who played the Jets Yoof resorted to Hacking them at every opportunity or sitting back and trying to hit them on the counter when a stray pass cam their way.

Bit hard to respect the parking the bus mentality intermingled with the hacking the shit out of them approach all the other clubs took
