    I?d be more worried about Azzuri. Watched 11 blokes play for a draw from kick off. Never seen a bigger group of cats in my life

    Great plan can't lose if you don't concede, only problem is they forgot that part of the plan

    Don?t make any plans for a few weeks at least. Will be interesting to see what NF do across all zone leagues.

    Maybe delete regular season games and play for minor and major premiership as per every season.

    Wouldn't it be nice if all mid week wet weather games could be played on the 2 synthetic fields at Speers point.

    I understand NPL clubs use these for training, however the priority should be to get the games completed. Northern or Newcastle football should step in and make a case for the above.

    Just a thought..

    Get out of here with that common sense!

    Would love to see more wet weather fields pop up, a facility in the Hunter Valley as well as in town would be great.

    Common sense would be to build our own synth pitches in Newcastle

    There should be midweek games allocated in the draw from the start, say 2 a season and early on, get em played before having to play catch up later on

    Congratulations Newcastle Suns on winning the only silverware available this season. Everyone else pack up and see you all in 2025.

    Dudley have zero games in hand, Cardiff 1, 5 teams with 2. That?s all very manageable to catch up. 3 teams with 3 games is starting to stretch it. Azzurri and Kotara with 5 games is wild. How are they so far behind. Every club has been behind but others seem to have caught up. Dudley played 6 games in 18 days. I know the Suns played maybe 5 in a 3 week window and others have to.
    Just trying to understand the wide difference in games played

    We were proactive with trying to organise games for the immediate week following washouts. Dudley have been a little lucky where I think twice that the fact they had Sunday games when all Saturday games were washed out, I think that's the main reason they're in a good spot with that regard.
    It's luck of the draw, but I do think clubs could have been more proactive in getting games played because having them bank up has also stopped the opposing club organise catch ups because they have so many already locked in.
    It's stating the obvious, but they further behind you get, it becomes a shit show with continuous wet weather.

    I feel as though the further you fall behind in fixtures played the tougher it is to actually make up the points difference as well. It is easy to say go and win your 3 games in hand to get you back in the race but the reality of actually doing it is far harder. Especially when so many games are played in such close proximity. The midweek fixtures sometimes feel like more of a lottery results wise as well.

    Totally agree with this. It happened to Cardiff 2yrs ago they were in the mix for semis and the build up of games got them. I think the same might happen again of if the scrap in the could get bounced straight away
