Given their structure and cohesion on Saturday - Id find it hard to believe that Blueys team doesnt train together. They were a well structured, fast, physical side with weapons in the forwards and the backs. Not unbeatable, however with the skill level and experience of those players, they can...

Maybe the lads just wanted to sing the song again? It had been a long time in between drinks. Div 2 seems to have a few stronger teams than first anticipated. The step to Div 1 may not be as clear cut as this viewer had originally thought.

Can confirm - Blue Mountains still have their guns. They have also added another ex Shute Shield gun at 10. Very good side. Will be hard to beat again this year.

Its not a Friday until Eastcoast has the Div 1 results for everyone to read about before the games kick off. DIV 1 Lindfield vs Forest: Ill back Forest here. Div 1 is a different kettle of fish and I think Lindfield will find their Div 2 tactics wont be as effective in Kentwell. They could win...

Did a quick review of Div 2 1st grade games to see how the old foes were faring. Overall - It seemed that teams were struggling a bit for fitness. The Easter break and wash out may not have done anyone any favours. Div 1 clubs might want to take note of that to ensure they arent off the pace...

Talking of Colts - Very strong win by HH 2nd XV colts on the weekend. Bodes well for a good season for both squads across 1st and 2nd Div.

Finally some good points from you Footy. Huge game this weekend. I thought if Souths weren't fielding a 4's. Then maybe the Blueys boys would be back. Bit colder on Saturday, I think mid teens for 1's on the weekend. Should be a cracker. Cant see any weaknesses in all the Div 1 clubs this...

Beer sales take another hit. A dark day for Newport

Are you allowed to move between Shute Shield and Div 2 1st Grade? I thought there needs to be clearance provided between years, let alone one week. Although - If that standard is present, then Briars might be back to the glory days.

Predictions for Div 1 1. Hunters Hill 2. Colleagues 3. Waverley 4. Drummoyne 5. Blue Mountains 6. Mosman 7. Lindfield 8. Forest Predictions for Div 2 1. Petersham 2. UNSW 3. St Pats 4. Newport 5. Beecroft 6. Hills 7. Briars 8. Epping 2nd Grade

Is 1st Grade Div 2 still physically demanding week in and week out? Surely a few players would relish the opportunity to give the body a rest for a week at certain times throughout the season. This could be a blessing in disguise for the 'Big 4' to ensure they get the finals time in peak shape...

Waking up this morning - I tried to look into the positives of this. 1. Did Subbies look at dropping Epping to a lower division and leaving a bye?. This way Clubs still get 50+ players getting a game every week with only 15 guys - What half way through the season - getting a rest to manage...

Once again - Players up at clubs like Eastwood enjoy wearing the shorts and singlet to the gym, rather than actually playing more than 20 minutes on a weekend. Shute clubs need to be directed to make players available rather than leaving it in the hands of coaches who have their own agendas...

I would love to leak some information - so if anyone wants to let me know anything so I can put it out there that would be great. I have been away for too long and out of the loop. Last year HH combined with Epping to fill that Colts spot - Given HH numbers - Wouldn't that make sense for it to...
