That Vulcans side looks very weak compared to past years though

the club certainly doesn't have he depth across the paddock of 2011. Can't see a repeat of 3 teams in Grand Finals

Looks like a solid team to me.good commentery Gee,Gee what's your thoughts on another New Zealand team in the NSW cup,i.e.Mount Albert Lions.Canterbery Bulls, do we have enough depth for that in this country.

I have only made a couple of Vulcan's games this year as I live outside of Auckland. I'm not sure of the make up of the Vulcans squad and what players are available or their selection process .You would think that with the Junior Warriors having such good results over the last few years that Auckland would be over flowing with quality players. I guess it is making the step up to the next level that is the tough one. What has happened to all those players? If the Vulcans were dominating the NSW cup and quality players were being dropped to club competition I would say yes.
Of course it would be great for the development of the game to have a second team in the comp but it would be a case of financial viability and being able to field a competitive squad.

We'll be lucky to see one tbh. The juniors are leading their comp atm, but have been smashed a few times this year. Still, minor premiers would be pretty bloody choice.

​

No we wouldn't get another team. It's about money right. . It's a decent enough team but other teams that had Seymour, Moon etc were a lot better
