Hello subbies admin????
Are they winning fans in Div 1 as teams can bank an easy 5 points against them? We only needed the draw last time so happy with the 2.St Pats keep winning fans in Division 1.
They’ll take more away from yesterday than Colleagues.

Went 10/10 this week in Div 1 and 2.
Drummoyne appear to be improving and much better than what this forum has suggested previously.
Anyone from Petersham advise whether they have lost players? seem to be a shell of their earlier season selves.
Surely you keep the best standard comp- Kentwell at 10 teams if possible? Would Newport be the only one who can jump up and play Div 1 from the Div 2 clubs? UNSW cant stack lower grabs up in Div 1 and expect to still win higher grades. Hills arent as good as they were 3 years ago, Lindfield dont have the strength in the higher grades. Maybe Valley can continue to build?
All favs $9 - Beecroft was the longest odds at 1.60. Rest of Div 2 were at Winx odds.What price was the 10 leg D1/2 multi paying
Div 1 sorted.These are the divisions I will be suggesting to the Subbies board. You will notice I have developed the idea of an integrated Div 1/Div 2 lowest grade competition where all the Div 1 5th Grade sides are in a competition with the Div 2 4th Grade sides. I have also developed the concept of a flagship club, who represent the division and others aspire to be like:
Div 1 (4 Grades + Colts + Integrated Div 1/2 Lowest Grade)
1 Colleagues (Flagship club)
2 Waverley
3 Hunters Hill
4 Mosman
5 St Pats
6 Forest
7 Blue Mountains
8 Drummoyne
Div 2 (3 Grades + Colts + Integrated Div 1/2 Lowest Grade)
1 Newport (Flagship club)
2 Petersham
3 Knox
4 Valley
5 UNSW
6 Lindfield
7 Hills
8 Harlequins
Div 3 (3 Grades)
1 Old Ignatians (Flagship club)
2 Old Barker
3 Beecroft
4 Briars
5 Epping
6 Redfield
7 Manly
8 Blacktown (benefit of the doubt that when they are competitive, numbers will improve)
Div 4 (2 Grades)
1 Renegades (Flagship club)
2 Sydney Harbour
3 Merrylands
4 Mac Uni
5 Chatswood
6 Northern Saints
7 Hawkesbury Ag College
8 Convicts
Div 5 (1 Grade - Stronger Division)
1 Hawkesbury Ag College (Flagship club)
2 Canterbury
3 Western Raptors
4 Menai
5 North Cronulla
6 Burraneer
Div 6 (1 Grade - Weaker Division)
1 Brothers (Flagship club)
2 KOBS
3 Oatley
4 Balmain
5 Dukes
6 Convicts

My understanding is Newport argued against a 2nd/3rd Div amalgation and their President resigned when they were ignored. But hey lets destroy 3 or 4 clubs in 2022 and roll the dice with whats left next year.

Looking to drop a Tuesday morning hand grenade on the table here…..REFEREEING STANDARDS.
i am a ref in a props body - so I get how hard it is for the man in the middle - but I genuinely think the refeering standards have hit rock bottom - especially in the top grades….
i appreciate that there are a lack of ref numbers - and the blokes that are out there should be commended for turning up….
BUT - surely there has to be some admission and feedback loop whereby some of the woeful - and I mean WOEFUL - refereeing is addressed.
To me it seems that they believe they are beyond reproach and there seems to be no feedback loop.

Sometimes you do get some decisions you do not agree with, although the referees are out there doing their best. As a player and spectator all you want is consistency - And if the calls are not consistent then thats where people become upset. Happy if the call is wrong, but as long as the ref does it both ways.Looking to drop a Tuesday morning hand grenade on the table here…..REFEREEING STANDARDS.

Both games on Cluch would be ideal watching...
Sea Lice in a close one, and Menai by 7 for mine...
A few comments to balance out this feedback:Looking to drop a Tuesday morning hand grenade on the table here…..REFEREEING STANDARDS.

* Abuse of referees has become an even bigger problem. Perhaps it is an outcome of poor performances but it creates a perpetuating cycle as more referees are lost. Behaviour at grounds has become an issue too (just check out the GPS and CAS forums re poor crowd behaviour at schoolboy matches).
* Most referees dedicate a lot of time to rugby - fitness training, education nights, extra games, juniors matches, midweek catchup games, sevens, womens tournaments or just to be an Assistant Referee for the next game. Sometimes they have poor games. Some learn a lot from these matches and get much better. Others repeat the same mistakes. I am sure we have all seen this in other parts of our lives.
