Fair few trials scheduled tomorrow and of course a deluge of rain awaits! After the difficulties most clubs had last year to keep fields open and strained relationships with Council, hard to see many matches proceeding, if the rain does eventuate as forecast.
Yep just got the word (not about the bird) that Lane Cove Council has closed Tantallon after gazing into a crystal ball in regards to tomorrow's weather therefore the scheduled three way trial between Old Barker, Knox Old Boys and Lane Cove Old Ignatians is cancelled.Fair few trials scheduled tomorrow and of course a deluge of rain awaits!

Yep - unfortunately any time you step on the field it could be the last game of your season or worse. Bones and tissue have no regard for premiership points status. Sorry to hear and hope he (and anyone else hurt already) heals up alright over time.First bad news for the year: one of our Colts-age guys did his knee in our trial against Hills last week. Scans show a season-ender.
Bummer.
Peter van Hasselt make sure your cars have plenty of anti theft devices and enjoy the burnt out carsPorters, Taplin, Tantallon, and Rothwell all closed.
Blacktown Council don't appear to care about the forecastRaptors hosting Renegades at their new home ground - Peter Van Hasselt Oval.
Will see what everyone says tomorrow after an inch of rainOf course with the weather lately it could all just blow away!

Crusher thoughts on hosting an end of year GAGR get together at the club house. We can all solve the games problems.Come on over to Hassell Park tomorrow at 3pm to watch St ives take on Maccabi. We are certainly going ahead. It looks to be a belter of an afternoon!

I would rather hammer a nail through the head of my penis than watch that.Come on over to Hassell Park tomorrow at 3pm to watch St ives take on Maccabi. We are certainly going ahead. It looks to be a belter of an afternoon!
Scrum practice at the localLot of ground closures coming in. Local junior rugby league in the Hills and Blacktown Councils have decided not to risk it.
Even the #fieldofdreams is going to be closed today to preserve the surface - trial matches for junior RL due to occur there but why bother? Just end up with wet and miserable parents and wet and miserable kids.
Smart move. Just waiting on Blacktown Council to make it official. Shame they can't read a weather forecast.
EDIT: Raptors and Renegades have decided to call it off by mutual consent. Not going to learn much today except how to scrum...
Would appear local weather man Tim Bailey had other plansCome on over to Hassell Park tomorrow at 3pm to watch St ives take on Maccabi. We are certainly going ahead. It looks to be a belter of an afternoon!
Bloody hell. Played there many moons ago a week or so after it had been flooded. Reckon it took a solid week to remove the black soil from various orifices.When even Wills ground is shut, you know it's bad!
Trials aren’t important. I’d rather clubs miss a game this week than in a few rounds cause they ripped it up in a trialPersonally the rain today was not that extreme compared to that infamous weekend last season where most games went ahead in torrential rain
Maybe that has given most council representatives PTSD
