With mick coaching the suns it'll be interesting to see how many parrots go. at bridgenorth Sellars, McCabe, Murfet not playing, nod, Nunn and savage all heading to launceston. Rumours are Brennan savage is favourite to coach. Interesting to see how this pans out as he ruined launy pretty quick.

derbyshire won't play at south, struggled to commit to ol's a year ago due to his work

cats need more than a CHF, need a full back, CHB and another back up ruck man, Davey can't keep doing it on his own

Be good to see a club like George town to be competitive again, interested to see if that is true!

Perth need more than money.

Completely agree with you on all the above,


and in more recent news....
Lowe leaving st pats and heading into a coaching role at the Western Storm unsure if many are going with him from the div 2 saints

The movements that are taking place in div 2 next season will shape a much more competitive competition St Pats, Scotch, Evandale, Uni, Prospect and Meander will be fairly close together and unless Lilydale, Tamar Perth and OL's pull something special out they could be left for dead.

They started a little slow last season but finished strong Mulvie made a big difference when he joined them following his previous suspension I believe they will retain the best part of their list from last season and add to it next season.

Thought this was a bit far fetched when I saw this, however have since heard that scuba is going there now, andrew Philpot is now the assistant at launy. Heard mitch hills has returned to south as well.
And south were trying to get grima and Hamish macintosh?
Now if this was the case, is it even worth playing the div 1 comp next year? They've got it in the bag right now.

Bridgenorth are struggling to find a suitable coach, Looking like losing a heap of players to the cats and possibly meander?

definitely a heap going to meander from the parrots, a handful of the under 19's from bridgenorth are heading to Tamar but am yet to hear of any established players from bridgenorth heading there.... George Town looks set to loose Brady Squires who will step up to state league next season and I believe he will be most likely to sign at North Launceston

St Helens/East Coast pretty keen to join div 2 but not allowed as the NEFU would fall over. 2017 perhaps.

George Town looks set to loose Brady Squires who will step up to state league next season and I believe he will be most likely to sign at North Launceston

Seen him play for the Tassie 23's, definitely had a dip.

yeah the NEFU is defs a dying league.... I think its about time NTFA took over the NEFU make a division 3 and change the whole structure of everything.

and yeah Brady Squires will be a big loss to George town but they do have some good ins also cant see them making finals this year but they will show some improvement

Heard a strong rumour from a friend of mine today that is a life member at Evandale that they have interviewed Tom Wilson of St Pats and Alex Devine joint apply for the job out there with the aim being for Wilson to be playing coach and Devine the bench coach with Axton to oversee it all, feel they can get the cattle to go close some potential recruits were Withers, Taylor, Miller, Dikkenberg, Langley, Brown, Bailey and Rodman (St Pats) Weedon, Taylor, Storay (Rocha) Dylan Riley, Dan Johnston, Liam Devlin and Brodie Jarrad but im not sure this is the right path to take with young coaches

at least Devine hasn't lost his spot sitting on the bench then. Always a lot of hype about Evandale if they can manage to get half of these players they will be hard to beat time will tell!

Yes you're right there defiantly the run of the mill reserves player but you'd think he has to be doing something right to be bringing in Wilson and getting the gig if true and most of the potential ins are in a group of friends could be something in it

heard today from a few people that a reserves player from prospect is coaching tamar next year and has a few players from prospect, lilydale, bridgenorth, ols and the nefu heading up there to fix the 2's side which they say will help the depth problem the senior side has faced for the last few years will be interesting to see who it is and who he has going there

I find it hard to believe N Grima & H Mcintosh going to South, Would this be for a full season or just a couple of games? Will be a ridiculous comp if South also get Stephens, Derbyshire and M Hills.

Grima and Co to play minimum games to qualify for finals apparently?

So the player from prospect to coach to reserves side as Joey hammond is senior coach again

Geoff mohr to Scottsdale, Darren Crawford to Georgetown, a lot of players leaving Deloraine to go to Sheffield, south will get a few more and Rocherlea will be strong with a number of pickups.

Max Pearce back as Hillwood coach, will be very interesting to see who he brings back with him. Most of the blokes they got from Victoria are gone and you'd think there'd be another new look side again
