WA to reap NPL benefits: Coyne
Former Socceroos defender and current Bayswater City coach Chris Coyne believes the new National Premier Leagues competition can be of more benefit to WA than other states.
In his Football Federation Australia 
column, Coyne says the NPL play-offs will give WA players rare, but much-deserved, national recognition.
“We are proud of our parochialism and the sense of isolation that has contributed to the character of the place and the people,” Coyne wrote. “But regardless of our pride in our state, there is no doubt that where we are situated can be a significant hindrance on the career prospects of our best players.
“The development of the NPL, a genuinely national play-off system, means that for however long a WA club can stay in the knock-out “champion-of-champions” format, the longer the players remain in the eyes of a whole new audience, some of whom will be on the look-out for new talent.”
