Not really all that unknown. The Group A teams will all be in the top 12. The Group C teams will be in the second 12. Looking at the table from the first part of this season should provide a pretty good indicator of which 4 will make the top half of next year from the current Group B. The spanner in the works will be just how well BelSwans and Southy go. I think Belswans might surprise but Southy won't. So for mine Weston and Lakes to go into the top half and probably joined by Adamstown and Charlestown or Belswans. This is of course ruling out an implosion behind the scenes at one of these clubs.
Here's hoping that NNSWF publish the fees each club charge for next season. That might cause a few to change clubs given the current economic climate. The current range runs from $950 to $2200 to be in the same comp, albeit in Div 1 or 2. Most clubs provide much of the same in gear, qualified coaches etc. The difference is the current crop of players that each have, the grade they currently play in and the perception that some clubs are "better" than others.
