Must admit that the press coverage in the Advocate is much improved, thanks Ben. I hope that the Sharks are sending you plenty of info each week.
ReplyDeleteResults on Saturday show that there will be no easy games, play poorly and you will be punished.
V League Div 1 sides look very strong with plenty of older players dropping back to lift the quality.
Really looking forward to the Somerset v Burnie derby this weekend, might all depend on the quality of refereeing !
Yes it is getting more space this year. Haha there isn't much info to gather from you blokes. Not when you win 9-0 anyway. But Sam is very helpful.
ReplyDeleteInteresting start to the NPL season.
my thoughts:
Somerset - as predicted going along well and with early form look like title favourites.
Ulverstone - bit of a set back last week but should be there abouts come season end. Depth perhaps the only issue.
Devonport - good mix of young and old, and with the inclusion of players like P. Gilham are looking pretty dangerous.
Burnie - up and down start but perhaps the win over Ulvy might get some momentum swinging their way.
L'City - Obviously by results in V'League they are struggling with player injury/suspension/depth and quality which inturn may have a big impact on their NPL results.
River - Retained some quality players so will sneak into the four and be competitive each week.
Rangers - for obvious reasons aren't the powerhouse they have been over previous seasons and will also be competitive for a mid table finish.
L'United - As they were starting to get 'some' positive results, the V'League (City) has swamped alot of their better players, so another long year on the cards.
Prospect - Like River they have retained a few quality players but with a slow start a mid-table finish is on the cards.
