I went out to watch them last weekend and I was impressed. They have a great atmosphere with music going and between goals. They are extremely fit. Something has happened out there and it?s a club on the rise.

Predictions:
New Lambton 1-0 Southern
Nelson Bay 2-1 Merewether
Cooks Hill 9-1 Mayfield
Norths 1-3 Crabs
South Maitland 2-2 Minmi
Jaffas 2-1 Bolwarra
Short description of each teams start to the season after 5 rounds
1. Crabs (15)... Unbeatable (best ZL2 team ever??)
2. Norths (12)... Revitalised
3. Bolwarra (10)... Underdogs
4. Cooks Hill (9*)... More to come from these lot
5. Jaffas (9)... Inconsistent start; waiting for Jesic to save the day
6. Southern (7*)... Clocking up the mileage
7. Nelson Bay (6)... Doing well for a promoted side
8. Merewether (6)... ZL2 staples
9. New Lambton (6)... Always forget they are here
10. Minmi (3)... Eh
11. South Maitland (3)... Eh.2
12. Mayfield (0)... Relegated
I will be amazed if the Cooks Hill v Mayfield game goes ahead. Cookers ground was under water Wednesday.
Agree with most. Cooks hill will be right up there once they play a few more games lol but how can Nelson bay Be ?doing well? and Jaffas not be and are waiting for jesic to save the day? They?re ahead on the ladder. I don?t buy him coming either, think it?s complete bsOriginally Posted by RightFoot
I?d say
1.Crabs as predicted - getting promoted and will see Bolwarra in the grand final.
2. Norths - Had an easy run and taken advantage of it. I expect Crabs to beat them comfortably.
3. Bolwarra in promotion fight with Crabs. This clubs impressed me a lot.
4. Cooks Hill will make finals, lack the quality of Crabs and Bolwarra.
5. Jaffas mid table just miss finals
6. Southern, will make finals if they can win enough at home.
7. Bay very good for a promoted side can see them sneaking 5th.
8. Mereweather Mid table at best
9. NL. Average team just lucky there?s worse teams in the league to fight relegation.
10. Minmi, very lucky mayfield will keep them up.
11. South Maitland, they don?t understand what it takes to compete in this league.
12. Mayfield, need to go down and start again.
Unfortunately deal is now off table from what I heard? big brother Lambton Jaffas NPL are hijacking?s the deal. who would turn down 3k a game to play northern npl which would be so easy for a person of his caliber
Hearing the same mate, an absolute shame for zone league as a whole
I guess the grand tour of Harry Edwards wasn?t enough to get him over the line then?
Arthur Edden having a dugout is what got him over the line.
Wonder if all the chat on here about Jesic looking at coming up was what alerted to the struggling NPL club to reach out

Crabs to put on a clinic for the podcast lads I'll say -8 start
Cardiff just had a 2-2 draw with Azzurri…. Might see Stockton return to Zone league 2. In a game where Cardiff were +7.5 goals favoured fyi
A transfer over 9 months? Thats some groundwork
SM 1-4 Bay
Bolwarra 4-0 NL
Merewether 4-2 Mayfield
Norths 1-2 Southern
Jaffas 3-2 Cooks
Crabs 4-0 Minmi
Doubt many get on in this weather. South Maitland would be nervous after Mayfield got points. South Maitland v Mayfield in round 10 will be massive for this leagues relegation battle.
Crabs v Bolwarra also going to be a massive game in this league, both look ready to go up. I feel like Croatia lifted the standard in this league last year and Crabs and Bolwarra seem to have caught onto what it takes. I think whoever goes up from Crabs and Bolwarra finish top 5 in 2026 ZL1.
