Sydney Subbies 2024

Great to see Subbies reps back. Not really familiar with any of the players selected but congratulations to them all - there’s plenty of talent in Subbies Colts and I reckon it’ll be a strong outfit! Will hopefully get out to Boronia in a fortnight to see the game and the new facility’s

Its simple. Waverly while a great club, with gret culture and play good quality rugby. Simply are jealous of Colleagues history and pedigree, and to be honest they will never be able to reach it. Not many clubs can.

Colleagues is the most successful and prestigious club in subbies and a lot are jealous.

With modesty and character like this, no wonder Waverley aren't fans!

Great cross section of players selected. Thought one or both of the Banfield brothers from Knox may may have got the nod, both were outstanding this year.

Looks like we found the Banfield brothers account fellas..

Not quite. Had the opportunity to watch them closely during the Div 3 Colts major semi and GF. They are both genuine talents. Might also add that I'm very happy to see two props from the club I play for, Lane Cove Old Ignatians, made the squad.

In fairness, their sheer number of premierships and dominance of the top flights is absolutely incredible. It's mind boggling that they have 3x the amount of Burke Cups than Mosman, who are 2nd. My eyes were blowing up when I was making my notes.

The Glovemans season wrap

Newport are shit.

to be fair that comment was so pueril-y shit that it made me laugh.

Anyone bold enough to pick the Divisional makeups for 2025 yet? With the Lions Tour hopefully we see a spike in overall player numbers

I expect 1 change in Division 1 with Newport coming up (if they are able to manage team expectations, have been a few times in the past where they’ve had to forfeit 2nd grade lol) and Forest going down. Tough for the forest lads as I had them picked as my team of the season in Kentwell.

With Hornsby on the way up and Penrith aiming for DIV 3, divs 2-4 could look a bit different.

Long time reader, first time poster.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Kentwell season this year. I missed the early rounds due to being in South Africa for work but upon my return always kept abreast of everything. I saw a few comments asking for team of the year, so thought I would stop just watching from the sidelines and give it a go! Would love to see the other divisions produce something similar. Let’s hope for a healthy and respectful debate!

Open to suggestions on Kentwell Medallist and other options? Chris Nay Blueys 10/15 got it, but missed about 4-5 games throughout the year. I thought Camroux the 15 from Hunters Hill was outstanding and unlucky.
