Anyone know why the Club Champs are so wrong?
By the calcs in Div 2 it should be
Lindfield 2562
Newport 2461
HV 2158
But they are way out.
It has
Lindfield 2026
Newport 1809
HV 1678
Newport put the broom through HV round one and Lindfield round 3 (bar 2nd grade) What am I missing ?

Club champs are only counted off one full round of games against eachother. Rounds 1-3 did not count to CC.

Good looking week in Kentwell this week
Knox - Blue Mountains - Will Knox put up a side this week? Blue Mountains will be too big for the 15 players who turn up. Blue Mountains by 20
St Pats - Mosman - St Pats turned up for 40 minutes last week. I feel that their outside backs have become bored with them playing 10 men rugby all year. No one outside the 12 could defend for them. Once we worked that out - we went wide every time we had possession and tore them apart. Mosman would feel a bit annoyed last week. Red card for a player taking a dive last week. WIll they be able to get back up for this game. Ill take them by 1. St Pats to throw the game away late.
Drummoyne - Forest -Dirty reds have a sniff of 6th place with Petersham already looking at Mad Monday. Forest have stumbled their way into consideration, although they are a Div 2 club. Drummoyne by 10 here.
HH - Colleagues - Match of the Round. Could be a GF preview this weekend at Boronia. Good weather - Get down there for a beer and some outstanding rugby. Ill save you a spot behind the posts. HH to keep winning.
Waverley - Petersham - Waverley by how many. Petersham have dropped off. Waverley to use this as a training run or just to rest a few players heading into the finals series.

Pfitzy is a free man after we finished our season last week 
Tho the wife is on a girl's weekend so I'm still Dad Taxi for the teens
But at least she isn't around to give me the "rugby widow" speech
DIVISION FOUR FINALS
After dropping over to Boronia in the morning to make good on my promise to the Chairman, in grabbing a beer and watching some lower grades, I'm off to Holroyd to see how things pan out. It'll be interesting to watch, as Merrylands and Redfield are the two clubs with Open Selection, so they can start to look at strategies to compete in either Grade.
Grose Cup
1215 - Merrylands v Chatswood - the Stags had a late season run, knocking out Renegades and Mac Uni to secure their spot. The Wolves will be uhappy to lose at the death against Epping last week and miss out on 2nd spot BUT it works out in a way as they'll have everyone available. Merrylands likely will go Route 1 to try and win the game with physicality. If the Stags can stick to the wide channels and keep the ball they put themselves in with a shot. In Round 10 they played at Holroyd for a Merrylands 25-15 win.
My tip: MERRYLANDS
1345 - Savers v Redfield - Manly will probably have slightly more depth in this encounter, as they've built nicely through the season. Weighing this against Redfield's opportunities with open selection, and you've got a good game of rugby on your hands. The season stands at one game each (R2 Redfield 17-10 @ Blacktown, R13 Savers 31-20 @ Keirle Park), so this could go either way.
My tip: MANLY SAVERS
McLean Cup
1515 - Redfield v Merrylands - Merrylands pipped ROBS in Round 6 by 22-20 at Holroyd, in what was supposed to be a Redfield home game. Last week Merrylands got a bit of a touch up from Epping, so will be looking to improve at home. Redfield are Redfield, and despite a disrupted last week against HAC they know their rugby, they're fit, and they'll tackle all day. To say this will be a contrast in styles is gross understatement.
My tip: REDFIELD
1700 - Epping v Mac Uni - yikes this could be a slaughter. Epping will look to take the students apart in every aspect of the game and it'll start at the scrum and work backwards.

Knox have forfeited all senior grades against Blue Mountains this Saturday. The games were at Lofberg. They are only able able to put a colts team out there this week.
Just wondering if anyone from Knox is on here??? How do you go from fielding 5 grades - Round 1 and having fresh reserves in fourth grade, to not being able to field first grade by seasons end?
Never seen anything like this before. Extremely disappointing.

Lol. Only able to score 44 against a Petersham that almost lost to Knox and 27 against St Pats who dont have a backline. Hope you have a few new recruits with that chat. I think we will be ok!

This is beyond farcical. I feel for the Blueys lads this weekend - it’s not fair.
Now that this has become a recurring trend and not just a ‘one-off’ occurrence I think Knox ought to be disqualified from the Division for the remainder of 2022, which includes their Colts. They plainly have not met the requirements of the Division and have clearly lied to Subbies somewhere along the line. It’s also disrespectful to the 9 other clubs who have to put up with their nonsense whilst many of them battle to fill their team sheets week in week out.

Possibly, but @Cranky Penguin 's question is valid though. They had heaps of numbers at the start of the season - where did they all go?
I agree champion it is not fair that they keep doing this to other clubs and still stay in the finals race for colts. If they don’t get disqualified from the competition then I really don’t know what subbies is thinking

If the subbies administration had any backbone they’d throw them out of all comps for the remainder of the year. They’ll get a slap on the wrists and get a 10th lifeline in div2 next year. Should be sent to div 3/4 like brothers were a few years back. The club is rabble.

I have heard they are headed for Div 4 next year. It might have just been speculation. Of course, everyone will be unhappy if they are too good for Div 4.

Only game of relevance in DIv 2 is the Breakers vs HV clash.
UNSW will destroy Briars with a bonus point and can force themselves into a top 2 position where they get the week off and then they can run their 1sts around in 4th grade next week.
HV need to win or come away with 2 bonus points to secure a week off, Newport need to win or come away with 1 bonus point to secure the week off.
With fine weather forecast it will be the biggest crowd seen in years for subbies. Get there for some first class footy with all games going to go to the wire.
