The team would go closer to the Finals series spot the next season finishing 8th, but until then more failures started to qualify for the Finals series in the next few seasons. Although the team did not participate in the league in the 1994–95 season; the 1995–96 campaign saw new manager John Kosmina,[1] the team finishing bottom of the league and having the most losses in an NSL season of 24, however reaching the NSL Cup Final defeated by South Melbourne in the same season. The next two seasons were also fails to qualify for the Finals series as the NSL Cup had been demised from 1997 onwards. From the 1998–99 season, it would be the last two seasons of the club's existence with better league finishes but still missing the Finals series meaning that the club had never qualified for the Finals series of every eight seasons played which caused the demise of the club leading to the formation of new club Newcastle United (now Newcastle Jets).[2]
