Reading these pages New Lambton has a reputation of not wanting to compete with the big boys. Sounds suss to me as they put the time and money in. Any New Lambton people on here happy to share views?

Anyone got details on how youth is going to look next year and then on?
That might be the plan, but as NL1 will not have a requirement for youth after decoupling (or so I am told) and given that some NL1 clubs can't field all youth teams now, there might not be enough clubs to have 2 leagues. From the clubs perspective: why bother? c.$800 for NL1 or c.$250 for community football.

NNSW board is rudderless and the CEO has way too much power.
