No changes for next year. The changes will be decided on in October and will be implemented for the 2019 season.

How's the pitch at Magdala?

I meant bcos of Camden coming up, isn't it mandatory for all PL clubs to run youth?
It won't make a difference anyway as you still only play 30 games regardless

Not all of the State League teams have youth teams. 

I know, In fact only 2/10 do Bankstown & Nepean. But now that Camden are coming up to NPL3 next season won't they be required to have youth teams? Hence the increase to 18 teams in Div 2 Youth..

Oh.. it could mean that Balmain/Granville lose their youth teams. I wouldn't know that bit of information.

Yeah fair enough.

Stanmore cutting it razor thin in the CC lol, their just lucky they've got a easier run home than the others

Hey, its playable for sure, far better than we had at Raiders last weekend.......

NTNP, your seniors sure have had a battle this season but they'll be right Rage pretty much at the door.
So Lions coming down to PL3.

Looking at our CC figures we have suffered 22 draws all up to date.

two big games this weekend.

manly v Olympic in sudden death semi final, and on sunday rockdale v blacktown.

apia have the week off.

should be cracking games.
come on out to lily home sunday 3pm.
 

Yep sure are 2 good games coming up.
Backing Manly Saturday.
If I'm not playing Sunday arvo plan getting out to Lily's, this one will be a huge battle.

Did the Wolves really get 3,000 for it's last match on the weekend?
Sounds like a tremendous effort from all reports.

Well have to say I did raise my eyebrow over that final score, 3k incentive eh.
In saying that it sure been a tale of 2 rounds instead halves as commonly known.
Wasn't Wolves around the bottom third 1st round and SFC up the ladder but come the run home it sure reversed.

sure did closer to 3500 and thats not counting the kids as they get in free 

Very very impressive effort then by the Wolves.
I can't think of too many NPL sides capable of doing this for a regular season game. 

What is the average attendance but?

Far more than your average NPL side. In saying that APIA got a fantastic crowd on the weekend as well.

Culina signed for SU58

Last game of the season fellas.
For the Wolves it was playing the high profile SFC despite their ladder standing being 2nd last.
In saying that a great last game home crowd with Wolves finishing a credible 6th on the ladder and the weather has been perfect the recent weeks.
APIA with one game left to play was just 2points above Blacktown - so a win would have been better but being they both drew on the day APIA Champs and obviously the crowd would have been there considering the possible outcome.

Nonetheless great PL support for both games and others would have got pretty good numbers as well.
What you fishing YoShuuuu, obviously won't be HAL average.

Mmmm, pressure will be on !

The rumour has finally been confirmed. I just can't believe that it has been announced before the end of the season for Fraser. 

There's also a rumour going around that Dully's youth TD, Mil De Brito, will head over to Fraser next year. Not sure what his role will be - TD or first grade. 

Wouldn't doubt it, I heard Ben Burrows the red devils fella is taking over dully next year

The question is if Mil take's TD role what happens to Icardi?

I haven't heard anything about Ben Burrows but he was around the club early in the season. I think he is a friend of our first grade coach and two of our first graders are coaches for the Red Devils Academy. 

around the 1000 to 1200 that does not include kids or or corporate boxes 

Impressive.

Culina signs for SU58 the wheels fall off a few days later loool love it

Kaman Granville!

I'm not surprised. SU58/Culina shouldn't have announced his move until the end of the season. Fraser have spent a fortune to get promoted and it looks like it will be derailed by this announcement. It was unprofessional. 

On another note, I'm loving the fact that the conversation on NPL 3 is matching the amount of conversation on NPL 1 in this thread. 

Oath, should have just waited until they knew who was getting promoted

Granville temporarily jump Balmain with them winning 20's & firsts on Thursday but Balmain can jump them either winning 18's & 20's or just firsts against Western tonight

Fraser drew the 18s & Awwwwwlympik knocked out. great week

big win by our boys yesterday over blacktown at lily homes. quality game and plenty of attacking play from both sides.

for me, covic, sorge, gaitatzis, figon outstanding although there wasn't a player who didn't put in.

connor evans and james Andrew best for blacktown.

cairncross getting marched means he wont play manly this weekend who were very lucky to beat Olympic Saturday night.

sets up a blockbuster sat night at lambert park v APIA. I encourage you all to come on down for what should be an epic battle. winner into the grand final, loser plays winner of blacktown and manly.


well done also to our under 18's who smashed Sydney united 4-0. they now play the minor premiers Sydney fc for a spot in the grand final.


very proud of our teams and great to see most of the crowd at blacktown were rockdale supporters.
