not likely to win as Cavvy still be far the best team. League is very weak though, worst for a long time.
I hate baseless rubbish like this, "worst for a long time", you sound like Abe Simpson.
Particularly having decent Queenstown & Southland teams in the comp this year is a big step up from last year.
Green Island have found a balance of having a couple of experienced & classy operators joining the talented youngsters they seem to produce (most of whom have 1 or 2 years experience at this level now). And Brazier has been an absolute beast, just bossing it.
Hard to see them not getting bullied by Cavy (because that's precisely what they did, in every sense of the word, last week against a decent Roslyn team by all accounts).
In reference to overall quality of the players involved that is and mostly related to the Dunedin teams that aren't near the top of the table. If it was not struggling I doubt we would be seeing FS trying to find anyway possible to get a South Island league going ASAP.
South Island league other than Cavy playing Cash Tech at the end of each season won't happen in the next three or more years.
Not enough money in the sport in NZ to make it a go for most clubs.
CashTech and Coastal would have the coin then lower teams Chch United also other than that the rest of MPL clubs would face tough times to be involved. I don't expect Cavy will find it too easy to fund a full Southern League season how about the other Southern clubs?
