With clubs announcing preseason trials I see there is some inter-division fixtures.
Georges River seem to have fixtures against Hornsby & UNSW. St Pat's hosting Kings, Georges River and Alexandria one weekend as well.

It’s a bit of a problem across the board for the smaller clubs I’m hearing

St Ives/Northern Saints have secured former Wallaby and Waratah Daniel Manu as coach.

Same old story I guess: volunteers. A lot of clubs are only just starting preseason as well.
As a smaller club, it is hard to get new people on board and excited in Oct/Nov when your preseason doesn't really get going until late Feb.

Good wind up! A Newport player joining Forest is like a Rat joining the Marlins!
Huge news out of Subbies divisions 3-5 as clubs have been moved around.
Division 3
We already knew Hawkesbury Valley were in Div 3 earlier this year but they now have been joined by Merrylands and Sydney Irish after both clubs dominated division 4 last year.
Division 4
This division has been thrown into crisis with numbers clearly not good at a number of 2023 division 4 clubs. Hornsby have been added after moving from the central coast comp and Canterbury have also been moved back into division 4, must be good numbers there. However this is now a 6 club division after a number of relegations.
Division 5
These clubs have been added to the lowest division of Subbies: Manly Savers, Chatswood, Northern Saints (now back to St Ives?), Rockdale and Macquarie Uni. Resulting in a huge division that will end up being split im sure.

Well, it wouldn't be the Subbies thread if somebody didn't jump the gun at least once a week.
The 6 clubs listed as Division 4 right now are those confirmed with 2 teams. There are others still finalising numbers.
Divisional meetings next week to work out the final pieces of the puzzle.
In 2023 Div 5 didn't even have a full draw until round 2, and Round 1 is still 6 weeks away. We're ahead, really

My bad, was going off the website I thought they only moved teams once confirmed.Well, it wouldn't be the Subbies thread if somebody didn't jump the gun at least once a week.

All good. My understanding is that the site is a pain to update, so probably while adjusting Div 3 a couple of other pieces were moved around

After that performance, everyone across the Sydney basin should be aiming to get there. Could easily fill the stadium if people pulled finger.
