Agreed, it will be great to see NL be more competitive in 1st grade, hopefully results there may have a trickle down effect to the lower grades. on paper it looked to be a pretty tough season from 13s to 1st grade for NL.Originally Posted by SAPDADDY
It’ll help with first grade and that’s about it.
Finals predictions?
Jason konja what’s your tips?
Love it mate!!
Is your partner going to NL next year with the rest of the bay A league players??
Always rumours, but NL is chasing and offering large amounts of money. No doubt some Bay players will follow their head coach to Magic
Yeah mate the Jets girls all are
The rumour mill is strong this year, the amount of cash we are allegedly throwing around is amazing! 🤯🤣
The NPLW may as well be a Calcutta. Whomever buys the most allotments, wins the prize. It is a million miles away from being about Clubs and meaning something to win for a badge. All we see at the moment is mercenaries and wasted cash. Women's football is so important. The first Club that nails an identity and creates something meaningful establishes itself as the benchmark. Everything else currently feels forced.
Bring in a points system!!!!
Yes, because that has worked so well in the Men's NPL. Quite simply there isn't enough "first grade standard" players to go around to avoid the blow out scores we are having at the moment. Some clubs go the "development" path, however, there comes a time when these ladies want to win, and player movement and recruitment is inevitable.
Winning coaches recruit. If you want to improve the competition we must recruit from a wider area including more players from Central Coast and North Sydney. The players coming through the Jets Youth are all 16 and younger, and in reality would struggle to depose some of the girls in the top 4 clubs from their starting spots.
Totally agree, there are not enough players of a standard for a Premier competition.
The better girls should be going and playing in the Sydney comp to maintain their standard. As these girls are what make up a good portion of the Jets W-league side. If they continue to play against inferior standard, they will not be competitive in the higher league.
It has shown with the Jets W-league results over the past few years.
100%
I guess/wonder if there’s a bit of fear from the Club’s perspective to push the girls, especially the ones who live locally, down to Sydney due to potentially exposing them to “better opportunities” and having the players not return to the Jets… Contracts solve those issues, but I’m not familiar enough with how the Jets contract their players, whether it's a season at a time or multi-year deals.
Fairly sure its just a season at a time with only very select marquee players offered longer contracts, which would be less then a handful in their history.

Unless you live on the coast don't underestimate the travel load to play in Sydney, once you include that all your home games will be "away" games 2 hours + from home plus training there it is a significant cost and commitment, even if you are getting paid to play.
Yeh, completely forgot about that side of things…and with the price of fuel at the moment! Ouch!
Kirsty Fenton signs with Sydney fc, another loss for the jets
Makes sense, Jets are basically just a development squad for the Sydney and Melbourne teams.

Azzurri led at the 88 minute mark. They will be gutted.
And Azzurri player Jess Gentle scored on debut for the Knight's. She was not available for this game.
