Pretty safe to say 3 of them are ES, AC and TW. 4th is either WU or HW.. Which really highlights the issue at hand. You've got 3/4 clubs that have decent financial banking. But the rest are being propped up by federation which are bleeding money.

it really seems to be a tradeoff between sustainability and quality. Not an easy answer.

I suspect AUFC might have an issue with that, also some of the Eastern Suburbs players will go back to Western Suburbs and stay there. I don't think Eastern are going to be as strong as you think. I believe Waitakere United will dissolve and Western Springs will be that offshoot. Birkenhead are traditionally strong performers across the last 10 years
