Has been raised previously but it's hard with single camera Zoom in to see the action better and the coaches hate you because they can't review lines and structure Zoom out to please the coaches and people watching hate you because they can't see the action No win situation unfortunately and...

We are off at Hudson tomorrow, unfortunately. A lot of other games going ahead, UNSW v Irish is now at Latham. Drummoyne and Concord Ovals open for 1sts only apparently.

Also, don't know if this an official confirmation or not but Forest are no longer listed on the Robertson Cup (Colts) ladder.

We've been getting pelted with rain over here in beautiful downtown Canada Bay council - unless they've got snorkels at Drummoyne or Taplin (right along the river, mind) I think they'll need a miracle or grow lamps to pull all the water out.

Penrith would be in Super Rugby as well

Far be it from me to "glaze" (as the kids say) Newport, but based on the last few seasons they are too strong to be a Div Two team - it's still early days for 2025 and particularly the top division. Not even SRU field a 5th Grade any more, I don't think we should be too harsh on them (at least...

Sorry to hear about the issues you've had. Seems maybe more indicative of Blacktown's relative strength in D6 than of yours (excluding injuries as you mentioned). Would you put this down to the rigidity of Divs 5 and 6 being "Colts-less" comps and having you graded higher than Div 4? Seems like...

No - Blacktown are moving into a new league and start on 0 since they have no wins, draws or BPs in that competition. That's the difference - Crofties and Knox earned those points in the division, Blacktown haven't started to play in it yet.

Then, essentially, they should have received 28-0 forfeits surely? If they'd lost, different story, but they've essentially played a team that doesn't exist in the comp.

Hopefully the first 2 weeks are just a blip with the long weekends

I was at the 3rd Lions Test in 2013 and believe there was a rep game beforehand which I think was Subbies v QLD Subbies but I'm not sure - was before I was involved unfortunately (and I was up in level 6 of Accor without being able to see the screens).

My understanding was that they were dedicated byes with the aim of making sure the rugby community could enjoy the test series but I'm sure they will pivot if needs must. Re: double points - this will be interesting where clubs play H-A-H or A-H-A. Hopefully some common sense will prevail so if...

I think you're pretty on the money with those - we lost Sam Tuitupou to a Tonga call-up during Grand Final week which probably made a difference compared to the major semi the fortnight prior. We had some great talent in the squad last season that, rightly, drummed up a bit of noise and have...

Definitely felt like an odd day at Rothwell with a few players covering a couple of grades for both clubs. Everyone (except those injured) will likely be back this week across the Divs for training so season starts now I guess?

Ambushed again - fast start for Uni and, despite a pretty good crack at a comeback, they ran away towards full time. Tough start for us but we knew we'd have a target on our backs - had similar issues last year and came good after a few weeks.
