Walter Pless, the doyen of Tassie football, rarely proffers his opinions about these sorts of issues.
He has in this article.
Last year I thought without equivocation, the new NPL, or Victory League, was decidedly better than the regional leagues. I've seen no men's NPL games this year, because of travel and other commitments.

While good players they are still developing players but were dominate with South Hobart as a comparison the NPLTAS would be equivalant to NPLV U20's.
Tassie would also be better off having a team in the NPLV.

How do you account for them making the NPL final then. They had to play away to NPLSA and then back it up with a tight contest against United. The fact is, I don't see much difference. I do see a difference, however, between the rest of the NPLTAS.
Edited by Arthur: 9/7/2014 08:33:21 AM Yet surprisingly, last year in the NPL final, Sydney United were a similar standard to South Hobart. The game you saw them play was an appalling display from what I gather. I don't think it's fair to use that game as any sort of benchmark. Edited by TheSelectFew: 11/7/2014 01:37:43 AM Why not? It was the Australian final of the second tier to the HAL.
i was meant to say it was.
