Sydney Subbies 2017

[OJLovedNicole]

Nah - shifted it to the Wet Weather slot in July. Going to be a punishing back end to the season particularly as we've got some coaching disruptions coming up (work-related), but we'll struggle through.

Home to Briars
Away Harlequins
Home Oatley
Home Irish
Away Oatley
Away Canterbury
Away Blacktown
Home Mac Uni

Presentation Night
Forget about Rugby for a couple of months while I go hiking in NZ
Starting recruiting Seniors and Juniors in November / December

It's a tough finish to the season. I could see Rouse Hill putting some wins together over Broads and Harlequins. Though to have the run that starts with Oatley and ends with Blacktown is a nightmare.

Hopefully you beat Briars and Sydney, and that improves the numbers. Could also see a final day fairytale over Uni.

Heavy, time for me to address these rumours and innuendo.

Firstly, no rift between first grade captain and club management - they are indeed brothers with long histories at the club.

The pub issue between the red carded player and the coach is legit. My information is that the red carded player questioned the credentials of the coach and the two locked up to scrummage against one another in one of the back rooms of the pub. No word yet on how it all panned out, although club board has asked for video of the event.

The ex-coach who left is still a valued member of the club despite shopping himself to clubs from the Gong to the Hunter. Word is that he emailed NSW Rugby about long term aspirations and the best way for him to make his way into Moore Park.

In terms of Division 3 rep team, there is no better #9 in the competition than the Epping #9. Far and away the best player in that position in Division 3 for a number of years.

This sounds like the red card player vs coach thing was a bit of a joke.... but the barman let me know things were VERY heated.

Heated and physical.

One of the two will be shopped to a nearby club in a lower division I believe.

Well if he is considering leaving just let him know Lane Cove RUFC would be interested. It is only ten minutes down the road, fantastic culture, great social life and we will definitely be playing finals in 2nd Grade and with a strong finish possibly 1st Grade.

Burkey Has Played High Level Union. He Should Be In Shire Shield.

I Am Pretty Sure He Is Referring to There Coach Who Wasnt Happy And Started Shopping Himself Round To Other Clubs. I Am Not Sure Where He Ended Up.

I'm not a member of Epping, but that coach did a bucketload among others over a number of years to get that club to where they are today. He's obviously got aspirations as a coach, whats wrong with that?

Game ended a 29-all draw.

Prodigy..keep up son. We were talking about 2nd grade.

If we can keep everyone together for Briars we might have a shot, but Harlequins are a bridge too far.

Make no mistake, while I respect Mac Uni for the efforts they're putting in, and while there is not much wrong with their rugby at all, neither of our teams is going to win First Grade games against the top 6 on current form.

 

[Pfitzy]

I'd also add: don't read much into the result of Blacktown taking all 3 Grades against Harlequins. By estimates, Quins were missing up to 35 blokes on the day, and it was Back To Blacktown day.

Must be someone on here from HH who can tell us if their players got off again at the subbies appeal hearing?

Seagull Butler frequents this discussion and is in HH 1s team, so he'd probably know.

Give it up champ. Lane Cove are rabble.

Give it up champ. Lane Cove are rabble.

- One of two clubs in Suburban Rugby with 2 Colts sides, both of high quality as well.
- 4 Grades in total, with only 1 team at the club 4 years ago. That is 300% growth in that time. Can other clubs boast this?
- Best facilities in all of Suburban Rugby. Grandstand, high quality playing surface, lighting and fence, with the possibility to host night matches.
- Quality Social Calendar, potentially the best in Suburban Rugby.
- Large Junior Base to sustain future viability.
- Great sponsors and discounts for Lane Cove players at these venues.
- High quality players and depth on the field. We currently sit 2nd in 2s, 3rd in Colts and just outside the top 4 in 1s. At full strength we are arguably the best team in Division 5.

Still want to argue?

I'd think many clubs in subbies would easily be able to argue with you on that, and probably come out on top...

I think you are wrong.

 

[bundaddy]

Not to mention Lane Cove has many junior age groups which just filter into senior rugby. The program is well set out and guarantees success on and off the field.

 

[Footyhead#2]

Far out mate. Is there anything else at Lane Cove that is the best in Suburban rugby? Just because LC have gone 10 years as a 1 team club and now have 4 does not mean they are the best in Sydney.

Firstly, Tantallon is a sh!t hole. I would not use it as a training field.
Why does LC have the best social calendar in Subbies? What makes it so great? Hopefully it has improved from 6 blokes sitting around the Longueville Bowlo.
Every club has sponsors.
Every club has a juniors base.
Every club has good players.
You've got 2 colts team, nice work.

Get back in your hole.

 

[bundaddy]

Of course it has improved. Thats why I focused on growth. The club was previously in a dark place but now it's one of the more attractive places to play.

How can you call Tantallon a shithole? It's a better standard ground than most shute shield grounds.
