Congrats to City on their first win (that's the proper use of 'their' Gal). No excuses as Jets played poorly and the Roos got the upper hand.

Were you at the game Vossy? Gal?

For the record Vossy yesterday the jets had 7 starting juniors plus Baker, so get the facts right before dribbling. I had a quick look at other clubs and surprise they have similar junior:import ratios as well. Camdens whole pack are from other clubs, Mittagong have 5 that I can see that started elsewhere, Appin 75/25 at best and The Oaks likewise. Even Picton have their share of superstars and they are the benchmark of using their juniors for maximum effect. The difference is the jets recruit from outside the group whilst other clubs cannibalise each other, leading to situations where Oakdale have to play Reggies. Last time I looked it is a professional game.

(Source is the gr 6 program's so the figures may be slightly different to the run on teams but the gist is still the same)


Camden played 10 actually juniors not just people that are 2 points. Then add on Ben weir who was playing for the club back in 2008 at least. Thats a bit better then jetter let on.
Jetter Ur kidding yourself you blokes buy yourself a team year in year out but still doesn't win u a grand final and won't be any different this year .. The whole points system is a joke some teams follow it and others don't and the group don't inforce it may aswell scrap it completely.. Goodluck to appin this year because unfortunantly I don't think they will be around in 2015 the group should have tried harder to keep oakdale who actually have a reserve grade and will be around for years to come.mittagong are really what clubs should be looking at plenty of local and a few qaulity imports Picton much the same thirlmere should be on the same boat but have no idea clearly.. Camdens full of local juniors from
Reserves through firsts should be no question marks around them at all
Trust me Appin will be around next year and will have 1st, reserves an u18s!

From what I have seen throughout the first round, and I have been to quite a few matches:
- narellan have signed a lot of players and when one gets injured another appears to fill the spot instead of using blokes that have been going to training and trying their best to crack the grade. Thor injured stolk in, McGrath out rokalati in...you all keep wrapping Fraser who could be a decent footballer if he wasn't such a liability. How many games did he get sent for 10 in his short stint? How many penalties? And how many times did stay on the field after consistently being involved in thug behavior. That's why narellan fans loved him. He fitted straight in. No chance on winning the comp this year they don't play enough clean footy.
- Camden have strong pack and best defence in the comp. a lot of siZe and play off the back of quick play the balls. Lack creative halves, both more of the hard nosed type and don't threaten the line.
-Picton have great depth and potentially if all fit best lineup on paper. Able to manage the massive injury till at the moment and still pick up some wins.
-mittagong play very high tempo footy and then can capitalize on this extremely well with thorpey at hooker and two outstanding halves in the Borgs. Size might be their downfall against some of the bigger packs such as Camden and Picton.
-city have improves with the pick up of Russell but not enough strike everywhere else especially if their two better forwards are suspended following narellan game.
- the oaks have struggles without a couple of bigger units to help them get a roll on so their classy backs can do their thing. 2-3 big powerful runners that can hold their own in defence would help them take the next step. Vast improvement on 2013.
-appin have made a solid contribution this year in their return season, flanno being their standout with a few other quality players.
-Thirlmere have under performed with the squads we have in both firsts and reserve grade we should be doing much better. We are short a few big props in firsts and the ones that could fill that void in Reggie's don't want to come up. Also a few key injuries have slowed out progress..

Final word from the Cok:
The west tigers players are great for the comp but if this is going to be fair for all clubs especially those who want to use their own players/juniors before they seek assistance from the wests boys, then the west players must hold a points value of atleast 20. But say if Thirlmere play appin and we both want to use 3 wests players then this could be called a stalemate and then the west be worth zero in that case. If one team uses 1 west and the other uses 3 then one each would be worth zero. If one club uses none and the other uses 3 then each player is worth 20. It's great to jnclude these players and strengthen the comp but has to be fair for all clubs.

Well done cockpit probably the best post on here for a while lets see if everyone can add to this rather then go on a jibber about something else agree with basically all you have said.. It's a 6 way battle for the comp now if u blokes get paea back soon use can challenge appin for 5th the oaks massive improvement from being smashed most week by 50 last year city have fallen but under the circumstances fair enough the rest are as good a chance as any mittagong are my favourites at this stage with Picton and Camden on there tail and jet and appin behind them but anyone's a chance

Yeah good post Cockpit. I pretty much agree with your assessment. I haven't seen Mittagong yet this year but I have no doubt they'll be there at the pointy end. Camden really impressed me. Their depth of big, mobile forwards is very formidable.

Final placings for mine in 2014 would be:
1. Picton
2. Mittagong
3. Narellan
4. Camden
5. Appin
6. Thirlmere
7. City
8. The Oaks

Thirlmere to have too much big game experience for ultimately Mittagong in reserves, while Camden will maintain their dominance of the U/18s. Dasha Politis to see Narellan lift the 2nd Division crown :drink: :drink:

Out with rib injury as a result of the southern division semi final.

What did you think about my evaluation of the teams tik? I know your a narellan supporter/player and I thought you might have more to say? Have you made any bread lately?

Not a supporter/player mate just know a few of the fellas. I think your on the money mate although from day dot I've questioned appins depth one key injury and it's panic buttons. Thirlmere should be winning more games and will need to string 3 together, paea is the difference. picton will be a completely different side in the semis to the one currently running around

What's your opinion now Rob after their loss to The Oaks?

Appin's run home sees them up against Picton, Mittagong, Narellan and the bye.
Narellan has Thirlmere, bye, Appin and another bye.
Picton has Appin, Kangaroos, bye and Mittagong
Mittagong has Camden ( could decide minor premiership), Appin, The Oaks and Picton
Camden has Mittagong, bye, kangaroos and Thirlmere

Mitta and Roosters got a game in hand too.

Roosters got a slim chance to make the semi's but need to cause a couple of upsets and hope Appin keep losing.

Looks like every team has players missing at the moment. Picton yesterday only had 2 recognisable players whilst Narellan had plenty missing too.

Jets would have close to top 10 of them, with the exception of manu asuava from city who tries to knee cap players. Jake fellows loves the niggle, Clarke from Picton, Peters will try twisting ankles in tackles...

Anyone else wanna add some

Tips for this week
Mittagong over the rams 13+ mitta to show why there to team to beat and Camden to get a reality check leading into semis

Thirlmere over jets 1-12 roosters scrape home in a tight one and keep there finals hopes alive

Picton over appin 1-6 appin will push Picton all the way but I think Picton scrape home late just !!

Pretty good assessment, I still question Narellan's points when you write who comes in and out of the Narellen line up
