Bit of a generalisation. Some people don't want to train two nights a week for 75% of the year. I'd also suggest that a lot of Subbies clubs have a great social scene that - week in week out Subbies clubs insta pages are full of content of players and supporters having a laugh. Rarely see that...

It is perhaps a pessimistic outlook but as the Subbies landscape stands it is more probable than not that playing numbers and number of teams will only shrink in coming years. You only need to have a look at the "Subbies Dashboard" in the Annual Reports to see a pretty clear trajectory. Whilst...

Can anyone stop the Hunters Hill kentwell cup juggernaut? Unbelievable attacking strength noting up another 50+ shoreline v good opposition

Well done to Petersham. Pretty comprehensive in the end and now the favourite for Div 2 CC. Were UNSW affected by Uni holidays at all (assuming there is still a large student contingent in the club). The form of Lindfield and Newport highlights the growing gap between the top of Div 1 & Div 2...

Few big match ups in Div 1 this week with Colleagues v Hunters Hill the headline. HH have been cruising so far but a trip to Woollahra against an in form Blue Giants might be the first hurdle. Drummoyne will be looking the even the ledger against Newport as both clubs will be scrapping to take...

It's a tricky one - if no wet weather it may have worked well and of course the intention of encouraging Subbies players/coaches/supporters to attend the Lions matches is a good one commercially. Once you lose a few games to weather or draw disruption its tricky. In this age of default double...

Huge weekend ahead for UNSW & Petersham for double points at David Phillips. UNSW will have Petersham covered in the lower grades I'd say. Colts I'll go with Petersham. 1s & 2s will be a toss up and will lean towards the home team for the W, which would just about lock up the Div 2 Club...

It's at 21:47 on the game clock in the second half. Towards the end of the Burke Cup stream.

That's terrible. Clocking someone from behind without any protection after you've already punched someone. Don't need these people playing community sport should be a year or two on the sideline.

The Halligan cup WhatsApp answers this question - no! Look at the clubs looking for games last year v this year. Clubs have good years and bad years. Being able to maintain that level of participation is crucial - Mosman & Colleagues are the best at this. Hunters and Blueys now following...

I do wonder now though that clubs have seen how the Divisions have panned out and some of the chaos that has followed whether they would be inclined to change their mind. The Div 1 clubs won't because they've always been fine and have a nice draw - the other divisions may be open to a change...

After only a few rounds (a lot can change between now and R14) you'd say Newport or Drummoyne. They haven't had a fast start in the top grades. don't have 5s and will have some tough days in 2025 against the heavyweights. If there is one thing that can be taken from previous years, the Club...

UNSW have been on the brink of this success for 5+ years now and consistently 2nd or 3rd on the club championship. Have come up against some good opposition like Lindfield and Newport but seems as though 2025 is their time. Well done to them. Unsure how many players attend the Uni but will...

It almost seems you don’t want to play Blue Mountains in a make up game?

Mosman & Hunters Hill postponed meaning Rawson and Boronia x3 unavailable. Irish caption does say that their games are still weather dependent.
