And offers a transition step to and from the Jets

So I think what I have suggested is quite different in that regard
If you were going to do that you wouldn't bother playing up an age in Newcastle, you'd register a rep team under NSW football (like NSW football have in their girls institute) and register them to play NPL in Sydney. Top of NPL2 / NPL 1 is where you get the football that's going to make players that either go further or play senior football in Newcastle or elsewhere. A rep team from NNSW should compete at least at that level, any lower than that and might as well stay here but have reasonable expectations that is the limit of development on offer.
