Agree 

I'm all for the 1.5 playoff....
Now that its first past the post Only that I agree with its good implementing the additional play off.......
It spices up the bottom of the ladder in PL1 and top end of PL2.

Anyone interested in a tipping comp?

A fantastic draw against APIA and in the end probably should have won (hit the crossbar twice, once in stoppage time). 
APIA looked sluggish - premiership hangover?

You would have to be happy with that to kick your campaign off.

well sutho got a shellacking.
Anyone saw the SO Wolves game ?
BC ? wtf happened to SU ?
I kind of giggle re the APIA NSM game, who's got home advantage today.

PL2/3 starts up this weekend.

Don't know how we lost that game, so many missed opportunities, one on ones, hit the cross bar a few times. Blacktown's GK MOM.

ah ok,  one of those days every team has.......

Yeah, not an ideal start, I think this shows out lack of depth, Warren taken off at 65th minute at 1-1 and everything fell apart. Powell looked a bit rusty and light need a couple weeks to find some form, a couple younger guys making their debut. Hopefully we can bounce back this week at home.

Some unsavoury rumours doing the rounds about Warren having the captaincy taken away from him. I won’t repeat them. But if even remotely true, can’t be good for the team dynamic, but it’s only rd1 and nrl teams prosper with far worse...

I’ve spoken to him about it, wasn’t happy but accepted it and has been given role of “Club captain”. if that’s our biggest worry this year I’ll be happy.

heard a few other rumours too about certain actions of a player but anyway.
will be a tough game. sutho will be looking to bounce back. played pretty well first half, created chances and so they should given the forward line assembled. 
we were gutsy last week given two early injuries disrupted the team in hot conditions. 
whats with the early kick off?

I didn’t see or hear of any action from a certain player, but I’m only involved at a fan level so not upto speed with everything that happens, might find out on Saturday. 

we always enjoy our home games at Seymour shaw! ha

are your STD's showing up?

Haha, they were at all home games last season from memory so don’t see why not, unless you have some other rumours I haven’t heard.

Good value, a drink and a sing along, what football for a fan is all about.

Any outcome regards this ?

Amazing if it hasn’t been resolved and we are in R2. 
Surely as it says 1.5 down/up in the 2020 official FNSW rules it HAS to go ahead. 

4 points against the top 2. Couldn’t be happier with the start. 

5-0 win in a dominating display, i cant believe how far off the pace Mt Druitt is, look more like a rugby league team, not a football team.... my tip for the drop after witnessing that performance. 

We played well, this week took our chances, whereas last week against blacktown we didnt.

NSM, the surprise packets at the moment. kudos 

This streaming that Football NSW is doing is pretty good, had a lazy Sunday afternoon watching games in between doing house stuff.  

1-1 at home to Rockdale, considering our result the previous week this wasn’t a bad result however I think we did enough to possibly win it, either way an improvement and we definitely have something to build on. Our 4:30pm kick off time seemed to work well with a decent crowd. Good to have the season back.

Same as me, Watched bits of the wollongong/NSM game and was impressed with north shore, Wollongong looked a bit flat. Mount Druitt were terrible against a solid United from the bits of the game I saw. Watched the full APIA/Olympic game and can see both these teams in the top 5, APIA scoring their second against the run of play perhaps however good to see Olympic stay winless.

You only ran away with it in the 20, 2-0 at half time with a bad penalty miss, should have been 2-1.

I am worried about Rangers strike power up front, but they started slow last year and came good in the back end, plenty of time left.  Two hard teams to start off, time will tell.

should of been 5-0 at half time lol, hit the post, cross bar, and missed 2 one on ones in the first half.
besides the penalty, i dont think Mt Druitt had a shot on target.

they all look slow and a few kgs too heavy

Lets all agree an interesting start, as it should be.
2 games played means nothing but kudos to the promoted NSM, I really didn't think they had it in them.
Knocking off defending Wolves away is a top scalp.
SO ? wasn't last or previous season Marconi spent a motza and had a fizzer season, we shall see.
