I was disturbed by the conversation taking place in Alder Park BC after the game today questioning the red card. The Olympic player was obviously hurt, tried to play on but was unable to. The comments seemed to infer that the player was faking injury. Having seen the tackle again I'm not sure New Lambton have any right to question the decision. Not too often you see a straight red in this comp but it was definitely warranted in this case. Hopefully the player is ok.
Any truth to the rumour that Warners Bay WPL team are moving to Edgeworth from next year?
So last round this weekend, how long after that do we think it will be before Warner?s Bay will be announced as changing to one of the 3 suitor clubs?
I?ll also be interested to see what Adamstown will do differently now that Ryan has no official direct role ( no doubt will have some sort of input) because they really tailed off badly.
Would be nice to have 6/7 competitive teams next year rather then just the 4/5 like this year.
Will New Lambton be happy to spend that amount of money again to come in 5th
How much did we spend at New Lambton? I?ve heard some interesting numbers, most were around 100k but I?ve heard as high as 120k.
Whilst we didn?t make finals, the program has achieved all the goals the Club set off the pitch, so we?re happy from that aspect.
It has to be just a matter of time though. No big name players there to attract the sponsorship money. Surely there is a list of npl clubs lining up to take over their licence. But are Bay willing to give it up ?
Everyone always willing to jump to conclusions. One bad year and everyone is thinking they are going elsewhere. Who knows who they may sign for next year. Surly they have some money behind them now considering possibly not paying anyone for this season? Has anyone ever wondered why warners bay didn’t fight harder to keep the first grade girls from last year there?? Going off what’s happening at New Lambton this year I think we all know why they just let them all walk away.
While it’s a shame to go from first to last the girls at warners bay this year were always the nicest group of girls when we played them!
Would it help attract players though being associated with a NPL club ? Seemed to help Wallsend and South Wallsend handing over their licenses. Now those two clubs have been the strongest in the comp since doing so.
Who goes on to claim the Major premiership from here in the grades ?
Charlestown and Olympic having multiple teams in the finals.
Grand final was a fun game to watch.
The attendance was 2100 if I heard right, which I think was the same as the men on Sat night?
I could be wrong ;-) Please correct me if so...
Well done to Magic for getting the job done
