My comment is related to next season. Have a look at the comp tables - it’s not hard to work work out where from. As BBScone said - if all NPL clubs had to lure players was the “NPL” badge - their days are numbered - when perhaps 5 clubs could find themselves playing second tier youth.

But where will they go? If they are in a relocated club and lesser team, they aren’t going to a top 4 club are they? The system and clubs have let these kids down.

Clubs who opted for first grade success as their measure of success - really need to take a long look in the mirror.
