How did Div2/3 and 4 go?
I watched UNSW v Lindfield. An absolutely cracker of a game (2nd grade also was a tight affair). Great running rugby from both sides and scoreboard swings all match. Culminated in a try from Lindfield with 3 minutes to go that put them one behind. Then they nailed the conversion from the sideline. Lindfield kicker ran past both supporting crowds making sure they knew he iced it. Was an amazing fixture.Half of each Division played:
Briars 0 v 43 Hawkesbury Valley Deerubbin Park
Old Ignatians 14 v 54 Hills Ryde Park
Lindfield 25 v 26 UNSW Koola Park
Manly Savers 21 v 17 Epping Keirle Park
Canterbury 56 v 0 Hawkesbury Ag College Nepean Rugby Park
Western Raptors 12 v 45 Sydney Harbour Christison Park
Hills and Valley really showed the gap in the competition. Briars have now been held scoreless twice.
Quite amusing watching someone give it to the crowd while you are still losing and then also playing 'We are the Champions' after losing the game. Reminds me of teams that sing their team song after a Trial win.I watched UNSW v Lindfield. An absolutely cracker of a game (2nd grade also was a tight affair).

THEN
The day after I saw UNSW posted on their instagram saying there'd been some confusion in the scoring and that they actually won by one point! Someone had obviously missed or added a conversion somewhere. What a debacle.
Old soldiers really took it to Uni though so interested to see how deep they can go. Hills and Valley really showed the gap in the competition. Briars have now been held scoreless twice.
Do they just slot in as a draw in the event it can’t be postponed?
Bit easier to tell now that Canterbury's game has been postponed again.Have only watched a few of the Div2/3/4 games on Cluch, but tips regardless
Newport V Blacktown - Newport to hit 100? Or will there be a mercy rule and sensible refereeing to keep it close
Sydney Harlequins vs Briars - Quins by 30
UNSW vs BOBS - UNSW looked really sloppy against Lindfield. Maybe the boys were tired from playing the week before for 3rd grade and Canterbury? Who will the Dual Registered players play for this week? UNSW will vary by 10 points either way. Hopefully they keep their cattle and take the game by 24 points.
(Are Subbies actually looking into the fact players are playing across two teams?)
Div 4
Merrylands Vs St Ives - Merrylands may score more than Newport - Maybe they should swap the games
Mac Uni Vs Canterbury - Match of the Wet Weather Week. Berries by 3
Redfield Vs Chatswood. I dont know vs Im not sure. Alot of slop in this game. Kick to Kick. May as well be AFL. Yawn. Redfield to win by 1

I believe the UNSW response to subbies so far has been "new phone, who dis".
Hearing that this has been brought up with Subbies and they are refusing to deal with it. Are they Uni players? Are they Canterbury players? Are they Brothers players? Are they showing up somewhere else? Can you register and then unregister a player only to register him again? Who’s allowing these guys to play under multiple names?I think someone from UNSW has to come out and address the issue.
We play UNSW this year for the first time and I am not comfortable knowing they are just putting anyone on the field (unregistered players, players from other clubs, 1st graders into lower grades). We owe a safety element to the players and I am not comfortable with the whole situation.

Clubs need to be reassured that the administration are looking after the competition not just turning a blind eye to their local club.
Uni have alot to answer for. My spies tell me that a number of higher grades players lobbed into the lower grades a couple of weeks ago, although the team sheets suggest otherwise.
Alot of dramas seemingly in that Div 2/3. Can someone elaborate for the people in the other Divisions? I couldnt see any cards on Fusesport when I got into work this morning. Is it on Cluch?You are indeed a wise man Woodsman.
The jig might be up now. Looking at fusesport one of them playing under his 3rd profile so far this year got a red card for unsw yesterday. Wonder which one of the 3 will turn up (or not turn up) to the judiciary.
