I thought it was a designated wet weather weekend coming up? If so, then it will be named appropriately...

Division 4 draw had Round 10 next weekend - we didn't have another wet weather until July 30. It is so finals can be staggered given the number of suitable venues for a Top 6 across every comp. Chatswood v Saints will be shifted to July 30 I assume.
The fixtures to catch up from other divisions are:
Div 1: Colleagues v Forest, Mosman v Petersham, Waverley v Knox - all from yesterday, I assume going to next week.
Div 2:
From Round 4: Newport v Blacktown, Harlequins v Old Barker - both scheduled for Saturday
(Harlequins v Lindfield will be moved to Aug 6th)
Div 5:
From Round 1: Kings OB v Brothers
From yesterday: Burraneer v Menai, Irish v Balmain, Sea Lice v Brothers - this last one is going to be an issue given Brothers are already booked for Saturday.
Here's the forecast for the next week over the CBD. Bit of respite toward the end of the week, but grounds will still be moist at the least.

Just following up on this - back at home against Redfield, Raptors had 26 players. So I guess the possibility exists that we're not about to consign them to the scrapheap just yet.
And the scheduling of Rugby League Test Matches might just be coincidentally tied to attendance of players from proud Island nations.

Div 1 Wrap Up
Horrible day out at Lapstone - We got a small lead with the wind, but couldnt hold out their big boys in the second half running against a gale. A few penalties later and a tight loss. The ground was a mess - but most grounds were that way this week. Blueys are always a good host and tough opposition.
St Pats added misery onto Drummoyne. They are a shell of there former selves.
Any games played in the Lower divs?

What's going on with the Dirty Reds this season? Missing numbers or just a couple of key positions?
Can't think they will slump for too long.

Seems like they’ve lost a few of their key players after their grand final appearances. Former captain Shaun Dixon to West Harbour is one example. They‘ve got talent throughout the grades, I expect there’s some morale issues now with the mounting losses.

He might come back soon the way West Harbour are going. Can't be too much fun.
That's fair after a GF win. Good time for some to hang them up. Fully expect them to be back up the top few within the next couple of seasons.

DIV FOUR:
Mac Uni got shifted to Merrylands and the students came away 26-12 with the BP. Seconds was Merrylands 31-3
Renegades 36-5 win and a 22-24 loss against 20 brave souls from HAC.
Harbour ground out a 12-10 win over Epping on the plastic at Easts, and a solid 32-7 from the Eaysters in reserves.
Raptors at home - one one of the few grounds that didn't seem to have standing water - lost both to Redfield 20-7 & 36-7
Savers got the 28-zip over Berries in both grades due to forfeit.
Stags v Saints postponed.
DIV FIVE:
Oatley travelled to JS White at Kings, and came away 20-12
Wakehurst 29-5 over Dukes, continuing their stay in the top 4 tho almost everyone else in the top 6 has a game (or 2) in hand.
All others postponsed.

John Sinisa will be leaving the club soon as he wants to coach shite shield. After that, I can’t see any answer but to appoint a development coach like Phil Lawrence. It is widely reknown that the club is not able to attract talent anymore. Therefore, they need to build from the ground up with the resources they have and I suspect Phil is the best man for the role. A strong fearless leader who will make the cutthroat calls the club needs.

Oh well. It's a good thing they have recognised current issues. There are many a former D1 Subbies club that haven't and now struggle to exist.

Clubs are looking for grounds for this weekend... jeez it could get ordinary if midweekers are required or the dreaded and rarely seen Saturday-Sunday catch up.
Subbies Womens 7s this weekend will depend on when the rain stops and what Council thinks of the pitch I guess.

Rohan has been calling everyone trying to do this for us. We already have a make up game against Lindfield on the only other WW weekend, so not playing this week is a disaster for Quinns. We have 4 possible grounds, but all seem to be low chance of being available. Waterloo is hardly even a 1% chance this week. To make matters worse, trying to get Barker over to replay this game at Waterloo for a Night Game is logistically hard for them, so the Saturday/Sunday double do is all we have up our sleeve if Mother Nature.

Would love to hear more about this Phil Lawrence character. Where’s he come from? Is he up to the challenge of the cauldron that is Dirty Reds Rugby?

Who is this person? Their 2's coach? Wont matter as our 2's are as good as our 1's. Had no competition in 2's for the last few years in Div 2 and thought we might get a few tight games this year but only had Pats knock off us in a tight one

Can confirm that I am not Phil Lawrence, but I am interested to know more about him. Having trawled through Drummoyne’s social media, he isn’t announced as part of their coaching team from earlier in the year, but looks like he coaches their 3rd grade. Would seem like a big jump…

The dark constables tips from the station
redfield v st Ives
Yawn, the decaf boys from dural by plenty
Redfield win 28-5
oysters v Mac uni
Should be the perfect contrast here between a drilled team and a team that can score from scraps and run away with the biscuits
Uni had a great win against us last week and oysters ground one out on the plastic against the lambs so both teams full of confidence here, looking like one to watch for sure
Oysters win 17-12
savers v hac
Gillette shavers by plenty here, Hawkesbury to have half of their regular 20 stuck on the other side of the bridge looking after more important things.
Manly win 40-0
Chatswood v Merrylands
my blokes coming off a tough one against uni looking to use this game as a rev up into the next, chatswood savouring the week off last week saving us all from watching 80 minutes worth of a coach sparkies northern taints game. Men of merry to lay it on them
Merrylands win 21-5
Canterbury v epping
The bananas off a loss to the top of the table last week and the berries struggling to get regular games up, the epping flans to make fruit salad out of the raspberry’s at home
Epping win 28-5
renegades v raptors
The battle of the west, it’ll be like watching mum and dad fight (go to your rooms and turn the radio on kids). Two teams that’ll look to win this with physicality, state versus state, mate versus mate and let me tell you I’m excited
My moneys on blitzys men to swing their big hogs about and take away the chocolates ramping them towards a great run home over the next few rounds
Renegades win 19-15
