Except when they pull out on the morning of and now the day for the Men’s team is disjointed without them playing.
The lack of organization for this competition is frustrating

Ok some big results across the divisions today.
Drummoyne giving the poodle wankers an absolute belting in Div 1. Well done Forest for beating St Pats.
No surprises in Div 2. Lindfield preparing for Div 1 next year.
Div 3 no surprises. Manly Savers? wtf. They trained a few years ago at my son's local club and there were close to 100 of them there that night.
Div 4 - Good to see Wakehurst doing well with colts as well.

@Eastcoast will have plenty to say about the performance of St Pats I’m sure. I guess he needs someone thing to carry on about whilst Hunters are on the bye

Witnessed another great day of footy down at soldiers memorial park, with the old soldiers in their annual ANZAC round putting on yet another clinic against Hawkesbury. Another try of the week contender going to the Butcher, most wingers should learn from his skill set.

Try of the week?

Forest wing's try to steal the win from St Pats right on full-time must be a contender.
4 tacklers beaten, and on replay if you watch carefully you can actually pinpoint the second when St Pats' players hearts rip in half.

If you'd checked the weekend scores you'd know hunters hill halligans scored a try on the weekend. Even without video evidence, that's the try of the week.

Word on the streets is that many at HH would prefer to have EastCoast sitting at home every Saturday. An insider was telling me he and his comments are about as popular as anthrax.
no promotion from Div 2 next year as Petersham will be going down and Div 1 reducing to 8 teams.
newport 1s would scrape a win against forest and an under strength blue mountains in a dead rubber but unfortunately for lindfield they have quantity,
not quality. The standard of div2 is absolutely dreadful.

After 2 rounds Div 1 appears to be a lot closer than previous years.
Mosman made light work of Petersham in 1s but a pretty even day throughout the grades. Mosman v Hunters Hill next weekend will be an interesting as two early contenders for the top gong.
St Pat's and Forest had a fairly even day throughout the grades. A red card in the opening minutes of the Kentwell Cup match to St Pat's hooker would seem to be the difference between the teams. Forest backline were impressive.
Colleagues and Waverley seem to have come back to the pack in 2023 with big improvements and good recruitment at Drummoyne and Blue Mountains in the top grades.
Blue Mountains Kentwell side features a few big names. Waldo Wessels and Chris Nay in the halves bring huge Shute Shield experience. John Sauni at hooker was contracted to the Waratahs as recently as 2021 - will be a tough road trip up the M4 for most clubs in 2023!

100% for Round 2.
Trip to Rockdale for us this week which will be interesting - a few injuries and some missing guys mean we might travel short on numbers. C A Redmond looked a bit damp in round 1 and there is a bit of rain tomorrow and plenty forecast Saturday...
Wakehurst hosting Redfield should be very interesting.

5/6 this week. Didn’t pick the solid win from the Berries! Big statement from the Burra boys over the Sea Lice.

Was not expecting that sort of margin. Seem to remember they've been closer than that, historically.

Not set in stone. If 2 clubs are falling off, and there is a clear standout from Div 2, the option is there to relegate 2 clubs.
You have to applaud the recruitment of both clubs especially Blue Mountains - to attract $hute $hield players 70km away as well as a former Waratah is impressive - all for the love of gra$$ root$ footy. Who wouldn’t want to play at crapstone oval?!

Spend a weekend away and come back to some wild attacks on this site.
Great weekend of footy - Was hoping to go down the road and watch Iggies play but cant believe a club would forfeit 1st Grade.
Definitely looking forward to Lindfield moving up to Div 1 next year. Would not make sense for subbies to limit the growth of a previously strong Div 1 club. To stay down in Div 2 when you have 5 grade sides and a strong colts team would be silly.
No issues with the Div 1 results - Drummoyne look to have their mojo back after the WAGS saga of last year? Or was that just G&G dribble? St Pats did it tough for 90% of the game with 14 players so props to them for almost snatching the 4 points. Blueys look good as well - Bit of a shame we dont get that trip up to Lapstone - Always enjoy the beer and banter that comes from the Clubhouse corner.

How dare you.
It's pretty cooked Manly didn't get a team together at all. Was there an excuse? Wedding, birthday, Wharf bar, couldn't fathom driving to Ryde? Marlins Colts had to show up on their own.

There seems to be a theme happening with a few clubs this year - Play at home great numbers - Play away, forfeitt games. No penalties for clubs who take the easy way out - and no reward for clubs that battle away with players playing 2 grades or with 14 guys just to ensure that they don't let the other team down. Thoughts?

Have to agree with you, from what I have seen thus far 2nd Div is of very poor standard compared with even last year. Saying that I watched Rats vs Souths and Marlins vs Norths and the overall skillset wasnt much chop. I turned off Waratahs when it got to humilation levels I couldnt cope with.
