For Brothers scratch maybe, insert alive.

Ahem, CBOBS haven't disappeared - have been Brothers for quite some time.

Can I be a bit judgmental about both of you using the incorrect spelling of the word judgmental ?

Disinformation. They were trying to confuse you or your source Oldest trick in the book. He ran on in 15.

Think you would have to take geography into account for the Div 5 carve-up. Brothers and Wakehurst in a southern-Sydney dominated group doesn't work. Oatley is in the northern-Sydney based group. So, agree with the general idea however the closer the games are geographically the easier the clubs...

Colts boys are very keen and the short season was a very big attraction as quite a few are cashed up and busting to travel after COVID-imposed lockdown. Reckon the tail end of the Radford Cup season will be difficult as teams (including ours) have the young 'uns shed their footy boots for...

Yep, first round matches emailed after lunch. Said they'll finalise the draw when they confirm the # of teams. We all roll with the punches but hard to keep U21 interested when you can't tell them what is expected of them. Think they're just all happy to play (if we can get a ground that the...

Not wanting to add to the Subbies HQ pile-on however...Radford Cup starts on Saturday and it is THURSDAY. There is still no draw out so nobody knows who, where or when we are playing. See yesterday's post for my thoughts on the knock-on impact for clubs.

Not wanting to add to the Subbies HQ pile-on however...Radford Cup starts on Saturday and it is Wednesday. There is still no draw out so nobody knows who, where or when we are playing. Given the U21s have more work-related deconfliction and transport issues to sort out than most other people it...

Part of the problem with Barker though is they tend to get stronger in the 16s and Opens (I presume as more boys come into the later years, some coincidentally with good rugby pedigrees). Last Saturday Barker for instance only put out three U-13 teams (Waverley had six teams with reserves for...

Completely unsubstantiated rumour but I heard someone say that one reason for Aloys peculiar weakness this year is that some players in the Athletics squad have decided to make that their priority over rugby, hence diluting the team. Anybody heard similar or is this just a bit of scurrilous...

The bigger team won. Just ? Damning with faint praise there methinks. Another view could be 'Team that put 90 + on a team the week before fails to beat another team reduced to 14 players for a quarter of the game.' Anyway sound like a great game given the closeness of the scores regardless.

To be fair, a pretty average game. Trinity had 2 YC, Waverley 1 and all in the first half so Trinity weren't chasing in the second half b/c of them. Injuries were a factor though. The Waverley YC was also part of a penalty try (very fair call), while the 2 Trinity YC were for not releasing...

Yes, 36-36. Waverley were behind 29-22, then came back to lead 36-29 and View scored on the bell. I know Waverley had some injuries/rested players and assume View took the opportunity to try some new combinations as well. Both sides gave it their all but the play wasn't smooth probably as a...
