Central Coast Reps - 2013

[possum x]

Maybe with other grades but this years 12's were playing SAP and SAL last year, not in the competitions with the other grades, they were playing regions like West, East and South. All good teams whose players have gone on to play premier league this year.

Are you reading my mind. Lol.

LOL I was thinking the same thing.

Freddie, you seem to have a problem with ccma, i know most of the kids in that team ( ccma 12's ) and reckon most of them deserve to be there. Sure they didn't win a game but they drew five and if you take into consideration one of my previous posts ( 7 players being elsewhere ) they're not far away. It's a big step up from club football, at best club footballers are 2 years behind in technical development ( if they missed out the last 2 years ) and at worst 4 years ( players who did p22 and started training 3 times a week in 2010 ) thats a lot to catch up. If the kids are good enough they'll make it, but changing like for like without the experience is a recipe for disaster.

Sorry neverwozza was referring to first past the post which is generally accepted as being the most important and Terrigal won that the last two years EG always came a distant third. Possumx I don't have a problem with CCMA just wondering how things work and if like you said club players are two years behind CCMA players changes can't be made. Would not know how many players Tony Gerosimo sent to EG because I don't know him or players involved but my friend's grand son was telling me about a player that swapped clubs & he always destroys his team and he went to EG. Hates playing against him lol he scored 5times in two games against his side & my friend's grandson's side came third. I think he hopes this player goes to CCMA but going by you guys who know a lot more then me it appears doubtful. He won't be happy!!!!

Fair call on first past the post Freddie. That Terrigal side did dominate its age group for 2 years and I think were the best side over that period of time even though they didn't even make the GF one year and then beaten the next.

Most of the academy teams did well, the reason the 12's did so poorly is there team isn't filled with the best players from the coast all because of a bad coaching appointment in 2012, three of the coasts project 22 team went to the emerging jets prior to the 2012 season and three left after to go to Blacktown. The emerging jets won their grand final and Blacktown won the competion and are in the grand final next week. No effort has been made to get these players back. Why? Surley if they were serious they would at the very least ask the parents why they left and what could be done to rectify the problem. It has nothing to do with coaches agendas to get certain players in.

Blacktown City just won their GF too. Interesting that 7 of the kids that trained under Tony G in the P22 squad have gone on to win GFs in their respective comps and one of the other players is in the FNSW development squad. He must be doing something right.

Is that Tony G of Kariong and Avoca fame neverwozza?

Sorry mate....started from the last post but have caught up now!

For my money Tony is an excellent coach.

Haven't written comments before but have followed this for years. Freddie05 whoever you are talking about is no chance because I know most of that side have received a letter guaranteeing their spot for next year. So I would say they are the best of the age group. That on top of the fact some of the players that went walkabout will be welcomed back with open arms. There will probably be one or two spots available at most. So much for developing players. The player you are probably talking about has been training with Tony Gerosimo for 18months now made the branch side last year & is a proven goal scorer. You would think 8 goals in 22games they would need a goal scorer but it appears not. I am sure all the people involved in Mariner's junior reps will be at Pluim tomorrow to watch Champion of Champions but I doubt it. There needs a shake up of the whole system & the way selections are made but it won't happen & these kids like Freddie has been talking about will either be lost to the coast or sport. If I was that kids father I would send him to Northern Tigers.

I've heard six players have been retained, four cut and the rest to retrial. Hardly the majority of the squad.
