Another week of rescheduled games. With a bad forecast for next week Subbies and a lot of clubs will be stressing about playing finals and catch up games.
I did it two years ago mate in the midst of my hiatus from rugby. Do it! itll all still be there when you get back!Ideally a club has a bunch of guys who run their own law/accounting/consulting firms who have a fuck-ton of cash and time to spend on rugbyReality suggests otherwise.
I'm in the fortunate position of mostly being WFH, in a job that I have a long and fairly unique experience. It helps that I've minimised the number of meetings I'm required to attend
Not everyone on my Committee has this freedom, and that's true of a lot of people in Subbies land. They fit rugby in where they can and the increased cost-of-living pressures and Saturday work etc make it difficult.
I've got one offspring finishing Uni this year, and another finishing their HSC. The long-suffering Mrs Pfitzy gets her Long Service middle of next year.
I've never had a Euro summer holiday, so is it finally my turn?![]()
Colts often back up for 2s at Div 1 & 2 clubs. Not a massive issue really.

Here’s some out of the box thinking for you. Given the shocking forecast for next week and the state of the grounds already do you think Subbies would make a call now to flip the wet weather round on the 30th with next week? Meaning instead of needing to replay a whole round you would only have the Waverly Lindfield game to replay and some lower grade fixtures at the other clubs.
Breakers 3rd home game washout so Thats $60k in turnover gone for the club. Given this week was last home game, band at clubhouse, sun shining, its a disaster. Now it’s yet another 90 min trip to the opposite side of Sydney & Waverley colts have forfeited. Wrap 2025 up now!Shame the UNSW v Petersham showdown has been spoiled.
Newport lose another home game. Things go from bad to worse. Not much better for Lindfield who now head to Boronia Park.
Why have the Irish games been “moved” to Latham? It was their home game anyway?
$60K calm down Warren Buffett lolBreakers 3rd home game washout so Thats $60k in turnover gone for the club. Given this week was last home game, band at clubhouse, sun shining, it’s a disaster.

If you’ve got Finals or catch up games in the lower divisions good luck…
Where are we going to watch these games?Fifth Div finals start next Saturday.
The temptation is to call a washout right now except for games that need to be caught up - because there will probably only be a few grounds available for that.
Hwavy D where do you think Newport want to be next year? Is the slog of Div 1 too much? Or has it been a Tough year with injuries etc? Would you prefer Div 2 with less demand on numbers?Breakers 3rd home game washout so Thats $60k in turnover gone for the club.

Sydney Harbour forfeit to Oatley??
The game was originally for Lyne Park then moved but now is cancelled according to the Subbies wet weather advisory
Huge ramifications for finals if that’s the case. I’d say it’s more likely that Oatley forfeited to Harbour not the other way round.Sydney Harbour forfeit to Oatley??
