Sydney Subbies 2022

[Eastcoast]

Any news out of Knox regarding the forfeits of 2's, 3's and 4's this week?

Are they destined for Div 5 next year if they can only field One grade? Subbies needs to step in and take some action here.

Also noted Barker looking for a 2nd grade game? Maybe they should ask UNSW if they want to have their game back from a few weeks ago. Is it just bad timing or convenience they were down to play a team below them on the ladder instead of 2nd place UNSW?

Div 2 Round 13

Some big clashes and some shit clashes this week in the run into finals. Lets get into it.

Sydney Harlequins vs Briars - Game only means something to the Quins as they’ll be hoping to keep a faint hope of making the top 6 alive with a win here. Barring an all time bedshit from Old Barker, their season is done. Last chance for Briars to snag a win this year, they have a lot of heart and will get up in a close one. Briars by 1

Beecroft vs Old Ignatians - Both teams playing for pride at this point of the year with Beecroft in the better form as of late. Crofties to avenge their round 2 choke against the Redmen. Beecroft by 30

Lindfield vs Newport - Bigggggg day inbound. It’ll be rocking down at Soldiers with big clashes across the grades especially in colts. Newport will be too good on enemy territory for the main event but who gives a fuck. I want to see that huge boat race.

Old Barker vs Blacktown - With the greatest respect, not a lot going on here. Old Barker squash the Quins hopes convincingly.

UNSW vs Hills - Expect to see a lot of crashing and bashing throughout all grades here. UNSW to remind Hills their a tier below the top dogs this year. UNSW by 14

Jeez that would be a good day to attend. Hope the weather gods are kind and the NSWRugby.tv coverage is good.

Regarding Barker I am honestly not sure. Looking at our team sheets we are missing a lot of players from the start of the year. I would say with Europe being full of Aussies right now and Ski Fields pumping i am sure rugby isnt a priority right now. Don't really blame them after the last 2 years. Ladies day this week might have helped get a few more numbers back

Hearing plenty of injuries at Newport. Im sensing an old soldier ambush is on the cards.

Hearing plenty of discontent as well, with a couple of 1st graders sitting in 3s.

Subbies drama is hot this year.

Dirty Red WAGS, Newport players with hand on heads. Why?

 

[Eastcoast]

Back to the important Division
Kentwell

Forest - Knox. Do Knox have 15 first graders playing - or just 15 across the club. A few boys have been suspended until 2023. So likely that Forest do a number on them here - 30+?

HH - St Pats - What a cracker of a game. The boys have to back up on 4 days for this and St Pats will be up for this one with their end of season revival. They seem to only have a rolling maul. Feel sorry for their backline who touch the ball 2-3 times per game only. St Pats to lose this one late - HH by 2

Petersham - Colleagues. This will be a Non contest - Petersham wont stick with Colleagues. 15+

Blue Mountains - Drummoyne - Hard one to read. Blueys beat them mid year. Will Drummoyne get up to Lapstone for this. Is there a Bus trip. Are the WAGS invited? Too many questions, Blueys by 5

Mosman - Waverley - Mosman were good mid week, but 3 games in 8 days will take its toll. Waverley will be too big and too strong. 10+

Apparently Sydney Harbour are now playing Old Barker following the Canterbury forfeit

Knox are a total disgrace.

no repercussions from the spineless subbies administration

 

[Through the hands]

Apologies if it’s already been mentioned but couldn’t find it. How many teams qualify for div 1 finals this year? Also are any venues confirmed for these fixtures or waiting on NSW Rugby. I know Woollahra oval seems to be a favourite of theirs understandably so.

I understand it is a Top 6. Finals are normally held where there 2 grounds and a fence to enable a gate.

Hearing rumours that Hornsby are struggling with the travel in the Central Coast comp and training numbers are a mess.
Could a return to Subbies be on the cards…

If they can put 3 teams in, that would help with sorting out 8 clubs in Divs 1-3.

More coming for you. HAC & Redfield first grade game abandoned today after HAC player sent off and allegedly assaults Redfield spectator.

Also, heard that Division 4 finals will be played at Holroyd Sports Ground, although Subbies yet to inform the clubs involved.

Great day at the Field Of Dreams in Kellyvile - Balmain were superb in coming all the way out for a game and it was 12-10 despite what the sheet online says

Savers way too strong in both Grades, tho we gave them a bit of a head start early, and came back strong physically in First Grade.

For me, the season is over. Thank fuck! Now I just get to sit back and enjoy my weekends. Big year, and a lot packed into it. Especially the last week with the Disaster at Sommerville followed by hosting Womens 7s and then a very successful Old Boys / Memorial / Cultural Day.

Balmain player group shows them singing the team song. I guess a draw is as good as a win.

I have looked at the scoresheets and it was 12-12 in Halligans.

I was one of the Assistant Refs. Neither of Balmain's kicks went over They're even confirming it in the Halligan WhatsApp group. But it doesn't matter - they came to our rescue and got a case of cold ones and a day in the sun for their efforts.

I think they were more celebrating the end of the season. Great lads - could have just hung up the boots and let the season go but made the trip.
