Just curious to how every team is shaping up? Got good signings? How has everyone gone in trial matches if any are played

Putney assumed to be struggling for a full squad, rumours they are pulling all age players up to fill spaces. Be nice to see them carry the enthusiasm and drive from the end of 2017 into the 2018 season. Have a few players trying to carry the squad, with a good requirement and pre season could push for mid table finish. Nothing from HFC apart from the usual numbers struggle. Seem to always have enough to keep a squad. Hopefully see some fresh legs injected into the line up. Nice guys but quick to complain when a few calls go the other way. Can play well off the counter just lacking possession and build up. Will be battling to reach mid table without some more players. Saint have apparently picked up a few new legs to the squad, along with a new coach might seem them push out of the lower pack and push for mid table/border line edge of top four. Have the aggression and talent just lacked a coach. Backline quick to capitulate and get reckless when they concede. Front line will punish if they are given easy chances. Redbacks lost some key players from last year but have picked up supposedly a few ex eagles players and some new faces. Always a strong possession/build up game, will see how the brothers go in the middle filling the whole that magic left. Counter attack prone due to sitting the entire team inside opposition half. Top 4 most likely. St Pats, barely a peep out of these guys. Assumed to carry over last years team, strong team and fairly well rounded, captain loses his shit at any sign of niggling. Top 4 most likely. Thornleigh have lost a few players and will most likely pick up some average quality in place. Young and highly agressive team. Solid team most games but can fall apart when couple calls go the other way. Special love for niggling and biting back in any form. Potential for top 4 but will of needed to recruited some decent talent to backfill loss of top scorers. Rovers couldn't string together a win last year in prems thus bumped down. Not much really known, assumed to have picked up quite a few west Ryde eagles and have got a new coach. Mid table to top 4 finish, largely depending on recruitment and coach. Wild card. Dragons, some rumours of recruiting fresh blood into the squad. lost a coach gained a coach, will need more structure and better build up to be a consistently strong performer. Lacking a bit of fire power in the front pack. With Epping and Eagles out and redbacks/thornleigh losing a few key players might just breach into top 4, though dependant on recruitment and coaching.

Is there only 8 teams?

You missed Ararat lad

A well written and balanced opinion. You are at the wrong site!

I trialled at NER and Mac Dragons (didn’t make either). NER look strong as. Some awesome players there. Dragons have speed galore now and will score heaps of goals. Defence gonna be an issue though imo

Lol they will make the 4 this season. Who’s you top 6 then Tony?

They won't finish in the top 6.

Last year they had a good squad they lost and drew some games they should have won and they finished 6th.This year they have lost 8 players from including nick their striker,Tony midfielder there's 25 goals just there add Drew,Will,Tom,Jaylen,Wander and a couple of others and they will struggle . Top 4 EEW,PEN,WPH,STA,NORM,HAWKS,NER,RAVENS,EPPING FC,UNI.

Nicks and Will have gone to the beaches and Tony is in the UK AND CAN'T GET A VISA.

Where’s Nick Hugh gone?

Redbacks to be very strong this year.

Maybe he does have an idea. 0-0 with Dragons yesterday

Is it true Magic from Redbacks moved back to Mozambique? Big loss if so

lol

HA HA Yes Melvin

We didn't just pick up rejects mate.

That is 100% correct. They HAVE picked up players from other clubs - rejects to try and fill their squad

Drop Kicks as well Good win on Sunday Putney looked lucky it was only 1 nil. Barcelona would also struggle with 11 players in the goal mouth

Apparently TG is on the money I watched them on the weekend and they were terrible.they even asked 2 or 3 of their ressies players they cut weeks ago to come back.long year.

Pretty close big fella. They sure are strugglingggggggg.
