I would be saying to anyone that thinks they can make a difference get out there and make yourself available for the teams like West Wallsend Singleton or Cessnock and help make it a better comp instead of hiding in lower divisions and bagging out the players that are prepared to take on the better teams. Your ZPL teams might beat a NewFM team in a trial game but can they back that up week in week out, even United got beat by a third tier team.
Haha this probably the most ridiculous post on the topic I've seen. Have you stopped to think maybe people don't want to play for "West Wallsend, Singleton and Cesnock" because they are Loyal, Happy were they are or have other commitment that prevent them from committing 3+days a week.
As it's been said and I've said before as a whole NewFM is better but there are exceptions to the rule, blokes playing NewFM that wouldn't get a run in ZL1 1st grades and Blokes playing Zone League that can walk into NPL but they are small exception.
What's laughable is you having a shot a blokes telling them to "Havago" criticizing them, then you ask them to go play for NewFM clubs maybe that's another reason why they don't want to play NewFM either.

Nice 1st post but jog on, maybe make it your last to.
