It’s been great to see so many players attending club trials and preparing for the upcoming season! We have heard loud and clear that there could be improvements to the competition and we discussed this with clubs last evening (19th Feb, 2025).
To provide the most meaningful competitions possible for you, we have had support from our clubs to proceed with a rapid review on competition offerings for 2025 and beyond particularly for the Premier 2 and Premier 3 grades where a 10 team competition is being consulted and voted on no later than next Wednesday.
We understand that most clubs are still holding trials, and we encourage players to continue attending as normal. If you have any questions about how this review may affect team placements, we recommend speaking directly with the club you are trialing for to understand any implications specific to them.
We appreciate your patience as we prepare for the 2025 season.
