Maybe a chance to align it with winter or the A-league while funding is scarce, hopefully they keep the NWL going with maybe an extra team. We have 3 years to prepare our females as best we can at we might aswell go all in on that.
NWL will not prepare our players for a World Cup. Need to have a Phoenix Team in the W League and or the bulk of the likely squad playing off shore.
We needed that to happen last year and that boat is still sailing away. The next best is a better NWL season and more players exposed to higher levels of competition whether that local or abroad
