Sydney Subbies 2022

[Eastcoast]

Knox forfeiting all grades but Colts tomorrow v Waverley. High time they were relegated. Surely they can’t weasel their way out of it this year.

Are we sure they are just not protesting about COVID like they did last year? This is a stain on Kentwell. It doesnt sit well with anyone

Here he is back again, first the referees now the clubs. Sit behind your computer and complain all day- sook !

Knox and Forest are unfortunately a rabble and not up to the requirements of Div1. Will there be any action taken by subbies in the off season? Pfitzy you seem to be in the know what can we expect?

TWW.

I, probably like many others here, can live with your defence of refs. Riddle me how you can defend Knox here. They have forfeited 4th Grade most of the year. They stack their 3rd Grade for ‘back to’ or ‘old boys’ day to get a hollow victory at Lofberg. It’s laughable they have the pride to send a Colts team to Waverley to try and keep their one premiership hope alive. This isn’t a new trend from Knox. They have been shirking tough games for years. The sooner they go the better for everyone.

At the start of the year Knox must have told a few fibs to Subbies. They plainly can’t field the requisite numbers for Div 1 (and haven’t for years). Epping, for instance, were honest at the start of the year and we all know how that one ended. Not for a second do I think Epping would compete in Div 1 but they’d at least show Waverley the courtesy of showing up and stick around for a boat race.

Of recent times the two most recent clubs to be relegated from Division 1 have been St Pats (end of 2017) and then Hunters Hill (end of 2018). Neither St Pats nor Hunters Hill forfeited a full round of grade games in their relegation year. They showed up and took their medicine.

Zero sympathy for Knox - good riddance to bad company in 2023.

Completely agree - Show up and play football even if you know the outcome isnt going to be pretty.
Appreciate your view on us and Pats in our poor years - but we showed heart, re-grouped and in better spots because of it

Epping weren't horrible when we played them over the past few years. Would definitely do better than Knox and could sneak a win or 2 in Div 1. Have a good 7, 10 and 12 who carry them alot though.

Cheers mate - we were very short on the day and Epping were firing nicely. We weren't about to forfeit a game given we'd driven all that way! My real concern was how many Epping backs would do hamstrings while scoring tries on a pretty heavy track.

There was a bit of doubt over whether Sommerville would be open but I think it held up pretty well. Definitely needs a light rolling to get it back to even after a bit of punishment today, and I'm sure cricket will have a whinge about it. The tyre marks on it are healing fairly well.

That’s what rugby is all about mate thinking about forfeiting but then thinking about the inconvenience it would cause big props mate.that full back from Epping was something else today scoring 41 points today in one game my golly. Good luck next week champion

Division 5 looking at the scoresheets:

Menai got up over Irish - Irish were hot early but got reined in and overtaken.
Burraneer over Sea Lice - a bit of an arm wrestle but Hammerheads ticked over the scoreboard consistently.
Wakehurst def Brothers - seemed to be a bit each way early but Wakehurst put on some points after a yellow card.
Oatley def Kings OBs - late score to take a 1 point lead and the match!

Next week:
Brothers v Oatley
Irish v Burraneer

Both tasty fixtures.

They bombed a few as well Lot of scrums today despite it not being that wet on the surface. Big eyes I think lol

Oh so your saying they could have scored a few points if they were not bombing tries but hey there’s always next week bounce back renegades

I'm hearing whispers of an unsavoury incident that occurred after full-time of 1st Grade between Hunters Hill & Drummoyne a few weekends ago. Things became physical between Hunters Hill coaches and some Drummoyne players/supporters - management at Hunters Hill none too pleased with the conduct of all involved.

Eastcoast, can you shed any light on this?

Nah mate just that some of Epping's execution was little off probably due to their excitement TBF they could have probably got to 100 earlier than when they did

I heard the HH coach called the Drummoyne 2 and 6 weak gutted dogs

Hopefully they turn up like that when we play them this week at Merrylands should be an absolute cracker in both games

Yeah I wish I could be there but we've got a big finish against Savers coming up - Old Boys Day in memory of one of our guys who passed away a couple of years back. We're also having Cultural Day to celebrate all the Pasifika, Maori, and Indigenous boys at our club.

Should be a good day despite a few showers in the weather forecast hope it blows away by then...

Not my place to discuss this one. Best to leave this be.


Results went as they should over the weekend in Div 1. Interesting to see Waverley could only put up 28 points against a depleted Knox side. Would be happy to keep a clean sheet though. Waverley may be the ones taking home Kentwell. So big
