Yeah from what some of the older guys have said they are just unhappy with blokes that show up one week and then miss the next. I guess losing more games then you win will do that.

I've never played on White Oval on Back to White Day but the boys who have tell me that it is quite an experience.

Maybe the Life Member intervention didn't work as well as hoped? I've never been keen on boards, administrators, etc at Subbies myself. Much prefer to put power in Coaches and Captains and key Players. For me, administrators just bring the game down.

That is a pretty stupid draw - three away games in a row in an 8-club comp? Madness.
Indeed! Followed up with two more away games after the wet weather weekend. Luckily only one of them is far away.

Sad to hear Pfitzy!
Prodigy...As an old coach I know it is hard to select when good mates are involved. Some people derserve their chance particularly when they attend training and been around the club for years

Yep. Might have to be Sixth Division next year after all.
IF at all
Just can't see a way back from here without being able to recruit committed rugby guys from the local area, and I doubt whether many of them exist, who aren't either somewhere else already, or retired.
I'll have a crack at longer recruiting periods starting in Nov/Dec this year, but I think 2018 will be pretty much the last season for our club.
And, after this year, I can't say I'm desperately unhappy at the thought.

Tough call, but absolutely fair! I was at that point a few years ago, when we were close to folding and I honestly didn't care anymore if we did. Luckily we managed to pull back and get a dedicated executive committee nominated, and we'll hopefully begin to grow again.
It's rarely appreciated the amount of work that committees put into the club, putting their blood, sweat and tears into the club week in, week out (and through the off season), but without them, the clubs wouldn't still be going.

I wanted to come out with a comment like "jeez how much are they paying him" or "Newport does a Balmain" but realised that some wouldn't get the sarcasm.

With Beaver turning out for Warringah Rats I suppose there's a couple of older ex leaguies who could see that the game the play in heaven is pretty good here on earth.

The Travel In Division 6 Would Destroy Your Club. It Has To Be Division 5 Or Nothing.
