I lived the dream last season, Rewa finished 6th in the NL, firing up the BBQ for sausage sizzles to get more players in, not looking promising.
Raising funds however I can, if you want a blow job, $10 is my going rate, Northcrest, corner of Great South and Hill Roads, I'll even blow Auckland City players/fans but probably spit it out.

There was a rumour that in 23 Rewa players received bitcoin, in 2024 that will receive spit coin 😂
Kicking things off with a whole host of announcements from Birkenhead over on their Facebook page. Plenty of new and returning faces.

Good on them for getting some decent content together!
Absolutely! Lots of local clubs unfortunately seem to neglect their socials which for volunteer clubs is fair enough but it's still cool to see some good content coming out of the Nat Leagues! Loved Petone's tik toks last year
I'm up in Auckland for a week for work, just curious if there are any Northern League teams involved in pre season friendlies this weekend as I'm keen to go watch. Cheers in advance
Charlie Beale, Boyd Curry, Nathan Harrow, Oli Fay, Josh Tollervey & Ben Wallace.
Lot of talent in that group. Interesting to see Tollervey back so quick after being announced with Preston Lions over in Aussie recently.
When Kailan Gould came back to Olympic he wasn’t impressed with their set up when he was there.
Gave up pretty much full time football to come back to a 40 hour a week job as a screen printer with football on top.
As an Olympic fan I’m glad he didn’t like it!
I've heard Kailan has moved on from Olympic this season? Or am I getting my wires crossed?
With what we've heard/seen with players coming in, it would be some stiff competition for places in the XI.
Still reckon he's easily be one of the better players knocking around Central + National League levels as it stands anyway.
Don’t know tbh. Normally I watch the games on the bank and talk with the greens and I’ll have a beer in the clubhouse after and it’s a proper football atmosphere. Looking at the signings it would be hard to imagine how everyone will het game time but he’s up there with the best in NZ for me so he’d walk into any team.
Good to see the evening games under lights particularly the Friday nights. Call me tragic but it's nice to have a beer after work then head down and relax with some footy.
Geeesh NZF appear to be using AI-controlled cameras if this Utd-City match is anything to go by. Practically unwatchable. Such a shame given the quality they got to last year.

Double bump this. If you're going to do it, do it right. Was a tough watch, changed the channel!
Went down, decent crowd. Game was pretty boring though.
United with one of the least threatening performances I've ever seen in the NL.
City seemed to strike a better balance of possession for the sake of it vs possession with purpose. Not having Mitchell on the park to take 6 touches every time he got the ball probably contributed...
Noted that the second half was 55 minutes (new stoppage time rules?). First half I'm unsure of, but the whole game just seemed to drag on.

Apparently all (or at least most) the regional league coverage is going to be done using these cameras.
Good read this - will be interesting to see how Auckland FC reserves impact the competition and the other teams. Assume they'll have the same deal as the Nix with automatic National League Championship qualification.
Was anyone else having problems with the stuttering frame rate? Aside from the obvious camera not capturing the whole field and going the wrong way
I find that the viewing between the FIFA + app and watching on a browser, that for whatever reason the stuttering is more pronounced on the app. Now favour watching all footage through the browser on PS5. Also seems to work well when I cast it from mobile device to TV rather than watching on the mobile device itself.
Watched the Tauranga - Auckland United game today. I hope that there is some improvement in the quality of the coverage. There was something orange looking over one side of the camera lens (guesswork) and we had to rely on the commentator for the fact that a third goal was scored - it certainly didn't happen on my TV. Overall, compared with last year it was disappointingcarlind

Apart from the orange blotch i thought the commentating was decent and the glitchy framerate/ camera tracking was much improved from the akl utd vs city game. Couldnt tell from the camera but it was the biggest crowd ive seen at tga game in a long time. Big crowd at melville wanderers game too. Good to see
Auckland City vs Tauranga City probably ACFC's worst performance in years despite winning 3-1.
ACFC had two penalties which both Callum Glover initially saved but both ended up having retakes ordered no mistakes the second time from Ryan De Vries and Joe Lee.
Immediately after the second penalty (Or fourth however you want to put it) Tauranga had one of their own put away by Jonty Bidois before Stipe Ukich scored the only goal from open play deep into second half stoppage time.
I felt ACFC had more of the ball but Tauranga had more shots and more dangerous chances and the 3-1 looks a little harsh on them. Probably one of the better visiting performances at Kiwitea Street from a Northern League opposition in quite some time.
This is Heartening to hear for a tga supporter. They have a proven goalscorer and 2 very solid centrebacks. Midfield needs to sharpen up but they have enough danger about them upfront to upset a top team. Need a bit of luck too.
