- bring up to NPL2 Dudley, Suns, Mayfield and possibly 1 more with existing teams.
- all teams, need to have back yard in order, and after 2nd year of competition -promotion and relegation starts
- reduce player registrations,all to be the same across clubs- and if coach youth teams, or referee it gets cheaper.
- enforce a real player point systems, encourage actual junior club players, any new/old jets, brazilian, over age or other non junior club players will be max points ( this will eliminate massive budget and player movements due to who has the ,most money)
- no grand final, teams finishing 1st and 2nd, to play off in a national champions of champion knockout league, to be crowned number 1
as for youth, happy with the 2 tier, promotion and relegation proposed, but seperate to NPL.
Key is more games, against more opponents, more opportunities, equals more development
just my insignificant thoughts
