anyone keen to have a stab at picking the first round? obviously with 4 divisions in the ZL many will be just stabs in the dark (the best kind)...
Mayfield United v Westlakes - no clue really..higher division safe choice
Belmont Tingira v Uni ZL2 - on penalties?
Morriset v Nelson Bay - too much quality if they retained most of their squad
Kotara Sth v Beresfield FC - unless kotara put out the best they have to offer, it will be tight
New Lambton Eagles v Simba - simba would be difficult to play, strong coming forward, defence may let them down against quality like NL
Cooks Hill ZL3 v Barnsley - too strong
Cooks Hill ZPL v CCB - no idea again..safety first
Dudley Redhead Utd ZL3 v Medowie FC - uneducated guess?
Merewether Advance v Muswellbrook - if they travel well
Garden Suburb v Dudley Redhead SFC - good pickups for burbs from what I've heard (more than likely wrong)
Uni ZPL v RAAF - another safety pick...
Platsburgg v Swansea - plattsy were good last year, but so were swansea
Wallsend v Cardiff - another club that 'seems' to have recruited well
Dungog v Mayfield Utd JFC ZL3 - i actually have no idea...at all
Jesmond FC v Hamilton Olympic - the move to ZL1 should see them pickup a few, Olympic were blasted in Rd 1 last year
Tenambit v Stockton - too strong, sorry blacky...
Kurri Kurri v Raymond Terrace - terrace have allegedly lost a few, kurri play with a fair bit of will be tight
Toronto Awaba JFC v Newcastle Suns - if anybody seen Rd 1 last year and how well prepared the suns were when they played Barnsley...yeah, goals...lots of goals
Beresfield United ZL1 v Warners Bay - gotta pick one with your heart right? wishful thinking may have also played a part...
I'm not going to bother with the State League/ NewFM cause really I know nothing about those comps and how well prepared the sides are... like some of these predictions, they'd just be guesses! hopefully nobody is offended I didn't pick their club to win, my opinion doesn't really mean shit...haha
Good Luck EVERYBODY!!!

So with Toronto no longer playing in ZL3 are the sun's given a free pass to the next round or will the team given the bye ( can't for the life of me remember who it was) take there spot and face the sun's??
I spoke to 2 guys from Toronto's Over35s team "The Slugs" on the weekend and apparently they have been asked to take Toronto ID3s position in the State Cup. So Suns will be playing against the O35s team of Toronto.
OK
Tips
Magic 6-2 Thornton
Weston 3-2 Adamstown
Olympic 5-0 Singleton
Lamb ton 4-1 Belswans
Southy 1-2 Maitland
Azzurri 3-1 Lakes
Cessnock 0-2 Toronto
Edgy 6-1 Westy
I agree...the tips will be close. I think Magic and Olympic will go close to reaching double digits if they play anywhere near their full strength sides in their favourable draws. Edgy could rack up a score against Westy if they have enough players to play. Has anyone heard where Westy are at? I heard they are in huge crisis with Greg Smith leaving? I also believe Maitland will be too strong for Southy as will Azzuri be for Lakes. Looking forward to watching some competitive matches.
Maybe if Greg Smith retained players that were at the club or actively recruited players to the club they wouldn't be in this situation and now he is leaving. Laughable, isn't a key part of a coaches job the retention and recruitment of players ? Other peoples thoughts

If you nominate the team before the first draw, yes. As it's that 1 team from 34 the first time and again the second time
If you're simply looking at the odds if getting the same team as last year, it's only 1/34 as it doesn't matter who you had last year so long as you got them this year. 34/34*1/34
Though if there's 34 teams in the pool, you can't get drawn against you're sled, so it's actually 1/33
The odds of Rolling 2 sixes in a row, is not the same as rolling any number, and then rolling that same number again.
ok professors thanks for the maths lesson. This is pointing out the process of how the draw is conducted and asking questions if drawn out of a hat how the individual has pulled out a 3% outcome? by the look at the draw the hat has been fixed and i am calling Shenanigans. A solution to clear how random the draw actually is have a better view of how the draw is conducted when filming for the next round
