The Australian Institute of Sport play in the National Youth League (instead of the Nix).

Newcastle Jets, Brisbane Roar and Perth Glory all entered their youth teams in their respective National Premier League competitions this year (not sure whether that means they will also play in the next NYL or not).

The Malaysian U20 side even plays in the Queensland NPL.

The point being that the Aussies seem to have absolutely no problem with slotting youth sides into other leagues where they can see a benefit, and also not getting too tied up with the pro vs amateur question.

If they can make it work surely we can? Especially when we need to make it work so much more than they do.

Is it not the funding (from ,,,due to clause in the DIA rules) for our ASB Premership that would be in doubt if the Pro's come in. I don't believe this the case in Oz, they run the top leagues as openly Semi Pro. 


As has already been mentioned... would it be anymore in doubt than it already is?

There is no centralised pokie funding of the ASBP now, so what's the problem?

As long as no pokie funding is claimed for Nix reserves, individual franchises can just carry on doing what they're doing can't they?

And for the millionth time, if pokie funding is already being used, directly or indirectly, to pay players above a level that could reasonably be called 'expenses' then that's a hornets nest that has nothing to do with whether the Nix reserves come into the league or not.
