  1. Only 2 or maybe players from the north will make the final team. Mann, Hingston and Stone.

  3. not meaning to offend anyone but mann, hingston, stone, maybe hunt, rumble and singleton are the only ones with any chance of making the final state squad. expect it to be very southern based

  4. Hunt has been the standout for Rangers all year. He should make the final squad. And why not put a couple of the young ones in as well. They might not be quite ready but the experience would be priceless. They are our future.

  6. Young alex sciulli has to be close to best left back, solid as a rock and runs all day, there are a few of the younger ones that I think could have gone to better young players, hawksley? Declan? Scott Murray and Toby auprised me as well, saying that hope they have a dip and really go for it as I'm sure other players that missed out would kill for the opportunity.

  7. I think the idea of a under 19 state team and a senior team should be put forward to fft, Even if Melbourne victory were to bring down a youth team for tas to play, its a good way for the youth of tas to get notice if you arent involved in a TIS program.

  8. Rumbel will never get there because of attitude tell him something and won't listen and looking at footage he has cost lonnie a few games.

  9. Is ulverstones keeper in the mix?

  10. Singleton isn't the best full back at Ulverstone, let alone NPL. Good luck to him however.
    Hingston and Mann would be the only real chances of making the starting 11 state side with Hunt, Gratton, Stone and Rumble a chance at getting spot on the bench.
    It will be hard for guys to train at full pace for the state-side if they have had big games on the Satruday.... will this see some of the 25 selceted players taking it 'easy' on a Saturday to save themselves for the training matches??

    1. Is anyone in the squad under 18? I don't think so, also Rooney started playin epl when he was 15!!

  12. Have to agree with the under 19 team and senior team, would be a great opportunity to let the young lads see the level that others there age are playing, and could have a fairly decent under 19 team as there are at least 30 playing seniors week in week out

  13. surely D Baldock or Tabrett from ulvie. Even Wells from Somerset are better center backs than deco,

  14. Tabrett hasnt palyed us much this year has he?

  15. Righto you muppets, some players didn't put their hands up so no point picking players that didn't.
    Clubs were asked to supply a number of players that would have a chance, then the coaches got together to have their say on who would be best(not sure which coaches attended the meeting with reynolds)
    So how about you go and ask your clubs first as to why players your were not picked.
    I thought more dev players would have been in the mix also.

    Secondly to the obviously former great that said:

    If you've been watching the NPL over the last few years you would have noticed that the age of the players was decreasing, thus probably why the squad is so young. The better players in the comp are the younger ones that are really talented or with a bit of experience.
    I do hope that you are considering a come back to bring a bit of experience and quality back to the comp. The team will be made up of mostly southern players I would say as they are generally better players(whole other argument as to why they are)

    Good luck to the other northern clubs in the victory league also.
