Sydney Subbies 2025

[Heavyd]

Careful what you wish for?

so DIV2 is
Forest
Newport
UNSW
St Pats
Briars
Sydney Irish
+ Hills

surely DIV 2 cannot be 6 teams again.

 

[Numberthree]

I think Petershams pride and desire to show Subbies shouldn’t have dropped them is going to hurt them. There lower grades struggled in Div 2 last year and there depth will be rested back in Div 1.

I don't think it's a "prove them wrong" thing. They had a terrible coaching situation and the culture had gone bad. They now have good coaching, new leadership and have worked very hard to set standards and expectations for players. They feel that they are in a position to build on this year and want to give div 1 a crack. Yes they were weak in 3s and 4s and need to build depth next year. Maybe they're wrong and it won't work out, but they have plenty of people who know that it's like to be in div 1, they're going in with eyes wide open.

100% they can’t leave it as 6 teams and given Hills dominance in the club champs with 1 less team than everyone and the fact they had a Halligans the majority of the year they should be the team to move up.
