National Youth League Fixtures and Mariners youth team discussion

[FFC Mariner]

Why? Why do international womens teams do this?
They want equality and everything and then they do this type of thing to themselves.

What was the score?

They?

I wasn’t allowed to know the score but understand it was a very close match. 15s are doing well.

What's the better option here? They want a game close to the tournament starting, get to avoid travelling or showing their hand to the only other team near by who they may meet later in the comp. Obviously they believe the 15s are the right level for the hit out they're after and as has been said our NPL team isnt of the required level. Now maybe they could go against an older team and if they push hard they might beat them but is that what they want right now?

There's no shame in admitting the athletic differences between the men's and women's comp. The standard in the women's game is improving and for me that's been the main concern not who is faster or stronger.

They’d have enough players here to do 11v11 in house.
Just saying…

Second eleven probably wouldn’t give the competition needed for the first eleven.

Also it is better to play an opposition you are not familiar with. I'm sure the U15's had no concerns having a run against them either.

Maybe even they were a bit distracted as a couple of the German girls are very attractive!!

. or you could argue that this is equality ... i mean they're playing against blokes - wouldn't that be one, very simple, definition of equality?

U20s up 6-0 after 75mins

Really should be up by 10!

Is that Yaren Sozer in goal for St George?

Yep

 

[Michael]

Yep

Damn, didn’t expect to see him back in NPL that quickly

 

[Michael]

Hammond impressive as always, in the first half

 

[Meerkat]

Yep

Yes. Doing very well.

 

[Meerkat]

We just can’t break them.

Mont actually helped tee up the move to get him some minutes, as well as build up his highlights reel while he looks for a new club

Anyone know anything about Trent Millard from Bris Roar? Andy Bernal posted a photo with him. Possible new youth/scholar signing…

Andy’s great for a sneaky leak ?
