    Alright I have no idea on the scenario at all but I'll take a punt.

    Pierre is implying that Croatia are trying to get a ground from the council and are inflating player numbers to push the case?

    Lol you must wake up in the morning and try to think up any negative spin just to try and bring Croatia down. For the record the Conference team is currently in 6th and still well in contention for the Finals. Croatia's Ressies have been Runner Up Grand Finalists, Premiers and GF Winners in the previous 3 seasons, been a challenging year this year and looking like missing Finals for the first time but when they are called upon to step up to 1st grade they always do the job for the Coach and the team. With 1st grade currently leading by 6 points...isn't that the priority?
    So is it really such an issue that as you put it "there is quite a drop off from the first team to reserves".

    Whether or not people like Newcastle Croatia as a football team, that can't take away that they are the most consistent team in the league. Their consistency and winning mentality put them where they are currently. Hats off to all involved from committee to coaches and players. Time for the rest to focus on their business model to improve, in whatever format they would like to persue (pay rego, pay players, free pizzas or whatever).

    Whoa steady up stop sign. I was just making an observation that there seems to be quite a disparity in regards of quality between Croatias first team down to the next grade. Moreso than the average club. Based off how dominant your first grade are I would expect the other grades to not only to be playing finals football but pushing for the major titles in their competitions as well.

    Whoa yourself ha ha. Yeah you were just "making an observation" but to me you seem to want to make it into a major issue. Our Ressies have been competitive in most games and if we had won a few more of those tight games (we lost 5 by a solitary goal) instead of losing them we would be in contention for the Finals too just like our Conference team are.
    The overall depth in the club is getting stronger year after year and only in our fourth season back I'm sure everyone is pretty happy with where the club is at so if your expectations are that our other grades should be pushing for major titles too, well I'm sorry that we have not achieved that standard for you this year mate ha ha.

    Just to be clear, if you had have won more games you would be in contention for the finals?

    Go back to the original argument that your mate Zonanal Marking brought up you Muppet so you can understand the point I'm getting at instead of just coming into the discussion and firing away.

    I’m hearing they will share Meyer park with Suns and split it between Wickham park. Rugby Union is on its last legs in Newcastle with the top competition having 6 teams and that’s likely to become 5 next year and a 12 game season imminent . NCC has big plans for Waratah park as well so Hamilton Hawks may get moved there and Croatia will return to their home but that’s likely 3 years away. The Meyer park news will likely be broken at seasons end

    That would go down like a lead balloon at the Suns with all the time and money they have spent there.
    Wouldn?t have thought Meyer park would fit the criteria the federation want of enclosed grounds etc

    It’s a shame for the suns who did a lot of the heavy lifting and turned that park into something special, but the reality is Croatia are heading to the New fm league and need a stadium. It is nnsw fault for setting such unrealistic expectations on clubs, council will give them this outcome as a slap to the face in order to queue northern to make changes to field requirements...trust me council do not like pressure to upgrade small parks in tight turn around windows <1 year.

    So after all the time and money Hamilton Hawks have spent over years at Wickham...NCC are going to tell them to move away?.?

    Paper bags work with players but not council submissions Mr B. Maybe look at Hexham as opening there.
