Penno are losing quite a few; Captain Pedro rumoured to be considering playing 35s, firsts keeper is gone, as is their bulldog Nicksy, Rhys Bato, Haz Browne, the two left backs and a couple of other stalwarts. Under 18s did win their comp so that could strengthen their ressies team who obviously did very well this season winning the final, however one would have to question the lack of quality and finishing ability in that firsts team. Not far fetched to expect them to get relegated given the past few seasons, those losses and if North Ryde are somewhat decent it could be curtains for them at premier league which would actually be remarkable as they're the only club to not be relegated from Premier League (not including teams that were promoted from Super League and have stayed up since)

I've heard that Macca is coaching Tigers this season. He's contacted other clubs players offering cash and has already signed a few, as well as 2-3 decent NPL players he knows and his little bestie Peatey. Why they would want to go to Boronia who knows. Tigers odds might be shortening.
Oh please, it's the Same old story. The only people who are "signed from NPL" are old washed up players who are too old and slow for higher level football or some shit player who sat on the bench for the whole season and barely played at all. The same thing will happen this season like every other season. Higher-level player has come down to play in Premier League. They'll be an average player surrounded by a team of donkeys and they'll get the shits and leave the next season.
Im actually one of the NPL 1 players. Here ive been wasting my time at Olympic and Sydney Utd. The phone rang one night. North Ryde RSL soccer club. Of course id pay $400 to play for you guys! Dream come true

------------------------------------------ Rumours are true, the squad is looking good. Also have a couple of A-league players who are interested in coming down and playing at Magdala, the premiership is ours!
North Ryde need to sign some experience. Their keeper was the only player above the age of 22 in their first grade squad and he's now gone.
Can easily see the likes of Normo, Hawks, Woodies, Penno, actually pretty much any team wipe the floor against them. A little bit of physicaility and they go crying to the ref cause they are so small.
Won't work in Premier League. They either need to toughen up or hope their technicality will get them some lucky points here and there.
If you look at teams like West Penno from 2018 onwards, they were relatively a young squad but still had some solid senior guys in their squad to lift them to the top. Even Woodies I heard last season were god awful but bringing back 2 senior guys got them almost to the Top 4. North Ryde don't have that all. Physicality > Technical in our comp.
These predictions are hilarious. You might know whats going on in your own club and maybe know someone from another. That leaves 8 clubs you know next to nothing about in regards to which new players they have, which players have left, new coaches etc
Have it on good authority that Frank Farina is consulting with Mac Dragons. Word on the street is he's helping them develop a high-tempo attacking brand of football.
Will make them difficult to beat this season. Maybe a solid chance at making top 4...
North ryde come on here and are diverting attention away from themselves.
What an absolute gee up.
WPH have the biggest, most consistent squad and are favourites.
EEW with big T leaving, might struggle, Hawks apparently have been cleaned out including the coach, mac dragons looks like they have lost their coach too, so plenty of changes.

------------------------------------------
Nobody from North Ryde is trying to divert attention champ. We know we'll be a contender for years. We've got the best young talent in the league.
WPH shouldn't even be mentioned. Most of their players should be in over 35s. Won't be able to keep when they visit Magdala
I think a lot of the WPH squad will be playing over 35's. But the majority don't qualify for at least another 10 years so you'll have to get used to being beaten for as long as you manage to avoid relegation.
At the end of the day I think we can all agree that North ryde will win the league. The young team will just be able to dominate in fitness and will have a even better second half of the season when all these old blokes bodies start to break
This forum is flooded with WPH shills, talking up a substandard squad.
2034 - you make me laugh. Most of the squad is only 25? Then most of the squad needs to to fly to Turkey because they're hairlines say they're mid 30s.
Make no mistake people - this is the changing of the guard. Too long has this competition been weighed down old and boring football.
Normo - no coach, rudimentary running style game no technical ability but they have a never say die attitude that keeps them in matches. Probably evidnced as per all the draws they had last season. No word on whether theyve replaced coach or brought in any new players. Prediction top 4 is possible again, don't think they can come close to winning but should be safe from any relegation talk.
St Pats- surprise package of last season, seemed to come good in latter stages of season and unlucky by all accounts not to get a grand final win. Big, strong, technically good. Would assume they only get better in both grades. Backing them for another top 4 finish and possible grand final win this time around.
West Penno - Coach Covers picked up where former coach Stu left them, On top of the table. Expect they might improve in ressies this season and are obviously clear favourites yet again to take out the lot. Rumours of picking up a few rival players seem to be doing the rounds. Could be something that works against them but I back them to make it 5 titles in the last 6 year and 3 in a row.
Penno - honestly not sure what it is. Could just be a changing of the guard. Seem to have a new coach every year at this point. Used to be a perennial top 4 side, won the title back in 2017 which somehow seems a lifetime ago now. Close to being relegated past couple of years. If the newly promoted are any decent, could be the end of a long time in premier league. Prediction bottom 3.
Hawks - by all accounts coach has finally been sacked. Was a stalwart in the league, so we wish him best. Hard to predict. Have some quality players and then a bunch of not so quality players. Can't see them finishing higher than mid table but also have the potential to be dragged into a relegation battle. Prediction anywhere between 7th to 9th.
Mac Dragons - did they or didnt they win 2021? Not sure we can give them that but one thing is for sure they were on fire that season and have been very underwhelming since. Prediction - relegation battle, anywhere between 7th to last.
North Ryde - newcomers. Always difficult to perform, St Pats and Dragons put that myth to bed but the Epping clubs that have since been relegated showed it can be quite the difficult feat making the jump from Super League to PL. Probably will come last, but if teams like Penno, Dragons, Woodies and Hawks struggle again, you just never know.
West Ryde - rough, tough, have shown in both grades they can turn it on but a rather disappointing end for the firsts team last season. If kye can get that form from a couple of years ago i expect them to be back in that top 4 this season. Rumours of picking up a few Ryde Saints players doing the rounds.
Epping Eastwood - probably the worst and most difficult ground to play on. Seems like Macca is taking over. Not sure if in player coach capacity or purely coaching. Not sure whether theyve picked up players but you can expect them to be a difficult match up in any game and in any grade. Prediction - 4th.
Woodies - Might be another relegation battle, however they came out convincingly clear in the latter stages of last season thanks to the return of some club stalwarts and veterans. Reserves team left a lot to be desired,up there with some of the weakest performing ressies sides in recent year. If they start slowly again the rest of the competition may be a little more ruthless this time. Prediction: can't see them finishing higher than 6th and getting relegated definitely isnt out of the question.

>Any truth to the rumour of ryde saints and north ryde merging?
------------------------------------------
Ryde Saints won't be forming a SL team this season. It's over for them.
Big question is where do half of their best players go from here.
North Ryde merger ain't happening either. North Ryde are feeling pretty confident with the squad they have (as well as adding a couple of former Spirit players) to compete and not get relegated.
Woodies won't be relegated. Penno could but saying that they do this wonderful trick where they look like they will be relegated and then manage to string some results to avoid the drop
By all accounts Macca is shacking things up at Tigers with a really tough start to pre season. He knows all the players better than most and knows what is required to get the best out of them. Tigers to be on the improve this year and definitely contenders.

Relax Rock. Jimmy is a well respected veteran in the comp. Been playing for that long he doesn't know to type anymore! perhaps you're a disgruntled opponent or coach that couldn't cut it?
What an embarrassing club they've become. They used to dominate Ressies five years ago and their Firsts were always somehow making Finals. End of an era.
I'm guessing he is chatting about Hawks. Not sure if true the whole unable to nominate a squad considering the draw has already been released and they're included. There were rumours Ryde Saints weren't going to nominate for SL and Redfield were bringing a team in. Not sure whether that has come to fruition

I think the sooner the assoc. bigs up the top 4 teams of super league to premier league and makes it a 14 team comp playing Friday nights the better it will be.

Absolutely took it to the castle hill prem team who won the hills comp last year. Didn't win but matched them, even with many players out with injuries. Showing great prospect for the season.
Reiterating that north ryde had and still have many injuries and had many of the players playing both the reserve and first grade games so dont get your hopes up nerds. They still beat you guys anyway.

agree, divide between the teams fo sure. Selection is definitely based off who the coach is buddies with and not skills, which is why all the shite playerss are in first grade Very little rotation. I left that dump years ago and won't be going back

how do you have that many injuries in pre-season? Gonna be a long year if that's the case this early on. Most newly promoted teams usually struggle with depth in their first season

Watching NR play. not sure if it's actually them pumping up their tyres on here or its trolls but they are not going to win many games. Might win a handful when battling against the lower teams but will get schooled against the likes of WPH WRR Pats etc
Please do not spread misinformation. North Ryde had a bunch of first graders missing today. Despite this, the lads still played a high brand of counter-attacking football.
I bet you're another one of these doubters jealous of our pristine hairlines. Boost your follicle count, or keep the hate to yourself.

Exactly. Can't remember a team that won Gilmore Cup that even made the Top 4 of PL that season let alone win the damn thing overall.
With WPH being slow to form I think WRR might have a chance to clinch it but you have to go with WPH. EEW to go through. Putney are looking strong so tough one for penno. I think north ryde will come up on top over eastwood saint andrews seeing they can barely beat a reserve grade super league side.

North Ryde are absolutely lucky as to have Ravens coming up with not even half a squad signed up.
North Ryde were favourites to win Wooden Spooners. If there game against Roselea showed anything is how much they are going to struggle playing against the bigger boys.
A single touch on the shoulders and these guys will call foul.
Did you not draw to the shit Epping in your trial game? And managed 1 goal against Roselea.... long season ahead for you guys with us big boys who know how to play football

Genuinely think Penno will go down which would not be ideal as they have the best pitch in the comp!
Losing a host of club stalwarts apparently and supposedly there under 18s pushing up into ressies.
Coach Habib surely under pressure the most

Under 18s did win their comp so that could strengthen their ressies team who obviously did very well this season winning the final, however one would have to question the lack of quality and finishing ability in that firsts team. Not far fetched to expect them to get relegated given the past few seasons, those losses and if North Ryde are somewhat decent it could be curtains for them at premier league which would actually be remarkable as they're the only club to not be relegated from Premier League (not including teams that were promoted from Super League and have stayed up since)

The same thing will happen this season like every other season. Higher-level player has come down to play in Premier League. They'll be an average player surrounded by a team of donkeys and they'll get the shits and leave the next season.

wrote on 29-Dec-23 16:11North Ryde need to sign some experience. Their keeper was the only player above the age of 22 in their first grade squad and he's now gone.
Can easily see the likes of Normo, Hawks, Woodies, Penno, actually pretty much any team wipe the floor against them. A little bit of physicaility and they go crying to the ref cause they are so small.
Won't work in Premier League. They either need to toughen up or hope their technicality will get them some lucky points here and there.
If you look at teams like West Penno from 2018 onwards, they were relatively a young squad but still had some solid senior guys in their squad to lift them to the top. Even Woodies I heard last season were god awful but bringing back 2 senior guys got them almost to the Top 4. North Ryde don't have that all. Physicality > Technical in our comp.

Nobody from North Ryde is trying to divert attention champ. We know we'll be a contender for years. We've got the best young talent in the league.
WPH shouldn't even be mentioned. Most of their players should be in over 35s. Won't be able to keep when they visit Magdala

I think a lot of the WPH squad will be playing over 35's. But the majority don't qualify for at least another 10 years so you'll have to get used to being beaten for as long as you manage to avoid relegation.

Make no mistake people - this is the changing of the guard. Too long has this competition been weighed down old and boring football.

agree with this, da penno ressies team seemed well drilled and worked way harder
defence of their first grade team was woeful. Players asking to come off if tired and not even hurt
must be some divide between firsts and ressies squads or even the coaches there?
always been a boys club there
The Magdala Man
wrote on 08-Jan-24 21:08I've heard similar. Jobs for the boys at Penno.
It's a shame. If they selected the right squad, they'd be the only team to challenge North Ryde.
Jimmy
wrote on 09-Jan-24 15:06Normo - no coach, rudimentary running style game no technical ability but they have a never say die attitude that keeps them in matches. Probably evidnced as per all the draws they had last season. No word on whether theyve replaced coach or brought in any new players. Prediction top 4 is possible again, don't think they can come close to winning but should be safe from any relegation talk.
St Pats- surprise package of last season, seemed to come good in latter stages of season and unlucky by all accounts not to get a grand final win. Big, strong, technically good. Would assume they only get better in both grades. Backing them for another top 4 finish and possible grand final win this time around.
West Penno - Coach Covers picked up where former coach Stu left them, On top of the table. Expect they might improve in ressies this season and are obviously clear favourites yet again to take out the lot. Rumours of picking up a few rival players seem to be doing the rounds. Could be something that works against them but I back them to make it 5 titles in the last 6 year and 3 in a row.
Penno - honestly not sure what it is. Could just be a changing of the guard. Seem to have a new coach every year at this point. Used to be a perennial top 4 side, won the title back in 2017 which somehow seems a lifetime ago now. Close to being relegated past couple of years. If the newly promoted are any decent, could be the end of a long time in premier league. Prediction bottom 3.
Hawks - by all accounts coach has finally been sacked. Was a stalwart in the league, so we wish him best. Hard to predict. Have some quality players and then a bunch of not so quality players. Can't see them finishing higher than mid table but also have the potential to be dragged into a relegation battle. Prediction anywhere between 7th to 9th.
Mac Dragons - did they or didnt they win 2021? Not sure we can give them that but one thing is for sure they were on fire that season and have been very underwhelming since. Prediction - relegation battle, anywhere between 7th to last.
North Ryde - newcomers. Always difficult to perform, St Pats and Dragons put that myth to bed but the Epping clubs that have since been relegated showed it can be quite the difficult feat making the jump from Super League to PL. Probably will come last, but if teams like Penno, Dragons, Woodies and Hawks struggle again, you just never know.
West Ryde - rough, tough, have shown in both grades they can turn it on but a rather disappointing end for the firsts team last season. If kye can get that form from a couple of years ago i expect them to be back in that top 4 this season. Rumours of picking up a few Ryde Saints players doing the rounds.
Epping Eastwood - probably the worst and most difficult ground to play on. Seems like Macca is taking over. Not sure if in player coach capacity or purely coaching. Not sure whether theyve picked up players but you can expect them to be a difficult match up in any game and in any grade. Prediction - 4th.
Woodies - Might be another relegation battle, however they came out convincingly clear in the latter stages of last season thanks to the return of some club stalwarts and veterans. Reserves team left a lot to be desired,up there with some of the weakest performing ressies sides in recent year. If they start slowly again the rest of the competition may be a little more ruthless this time. Prediction: can't see them finishing higher than 6th and getting relegated definitely isnt out of the question.

Ryde Saints won't be forming a SL team this season. It's over for them.
Big question is where do half of their best players go from here.
North Ryde merger ain't happening either. North Ryde are feeling pretty confident with the squad they have (as well as adding a couple of former Spirit players) to compete and not get relegated.
Woodies won't be relegated. Penno could but saying that they do this wonderful trick where they look like they will be relegated and then manage to string some results to avoid the drop

Polly
wrote on 05-Mar-24 08:13With WPH being slow to form I think WRR might have a chance to clinch it but you have to go with WPH. EEW to go through. Putney are looking strong so tough one for penno. I think north ryde will come up on top over eastwood saint andrews seeing they can barely beat a reserve grade super league side.

wrote on 05-Mar-24 16:04North Ryde are absolutely lucky as to have Ravens coming up with not even half a squad signed up.
North Ryde were favourites to win Wooden Spooners. If there game against Roselea showed anything is how much they are going to struggle playing against the bigger boys.
A single touch on the shoulders and these guys will call foul.

Normo, EEW and West Penno. Pretty brutal crowds. They won't cope.
A couple of late crunching tackles from some of the bigger boys and they will be surrounding the ref for mercy

wrote on 06-Mar-24 17:03Gotta agree with the comments about North Ryde being softies.
Last year there were a couple of good fair challenges against us and the amount of whinging and surrounding of the referee was pathetic.
And that was against us.
Only saving grace is that it sounds like the quality of PL has gotten worse and they may fluke themselves from relegation

Another salty epping player. My god they are everywhere. I could guarantee that more than half of the posts made about north ryde are made by epping players. Or are epping players pretending to be north ryde players. Don't trust any post on this stupid forum.

2 years ago when there were alot of rained out rounds, remember the association sometimes allowing 35's/All Age to play instead of Premier League Reserves and Reserves had to find a couple of mid-week games to make up.
PL is not a guarantee
