Sydney Subbies 2025

[Prodigy]

Definitely felt like an odd day at Rothwell with a few players covering a couple of grades for both clubs. Everyone (except those injured) will likely be back this week across the Divs for training so season starts now I guess?

What about those missing Briars? Looks like Pethybridge and Douglas Roache are playing o/s

Renegades v Maccabi
Epping v Redfield
Raptors v Valley

3 from 3.

We tied it up with a try on the bell and then knocked over the conversion for the win!

Epping and Redfield traded blows up until halftime then Redfield found the edges and used pace.

Raptors v Valley had 2 red cards to the hosts. Interesting to see what those were - listed as illegal tackling. Looks like they were late in the game according to the sheet

Any feedback on the Breakers? Didn’t see that coming at all… off day for the Dirties… always tough down there at the beaches

2s, 3s and 4s tight struggles that could of gone either way but fell to the good guys today. 1sts and Colts solid victories with plenty of spice in 1s after a mid 2nd half red for a high shot really riled up the crowd.
Breakers defence in both grades was impressive.

Newport being referred to as “the good guys” is a lol, but then I remembered you were playing Drummoyne.

Good to see the Breakers off to a strong start

good to see some clubs such as Kings and Chatswood with multiple teams. Kings fielded a Halligans cup game in addition to the grade and colts. We need all these former big clubs to keep growing and push for the Div 2 rebuild.

i think a few of them arent coming back, pethybridge i believe is doing a 2nd season in europe and not returning, williams is back to parra, tuituou is nowhere to be found, although played tonga 7s and is internationally capped now for tonga, so why would you go back to subbies, surely someone, somewhere around the world will offer you something once your nationally capped? the other 3-4 who are in holland for them should be back though in 4-5 weeks im guessing, roache, slade etc, they will be really handy to come back in and drive the team forward.

briars will be good i think

 

[Give and go]

Mosman Will get up over Lindfield off the back of the Eastwood recruits + veterans.

Drummoyne to welcome Newport to the big boy leagues with a win.

Colleagues will start the year off strong with a win against Hunters.

Waverley to have a tight win over Blueys

1.5 / 4 poor tipping , missed the mark heavily with colleagues & Drummoyne

I think you're pretty on the money with those - we lost Sam Tuitupou to a Tonga call-up during Grand Final week which probably made a difference compared to the major semi the fortnight prior.

We had some great talent in the squad last season that, rightly, drummed up a bit of noise and have gotten attention elsewhere. Hard to blame them, they're all young and have been offered chances to travel around the world playing the sport they love.

As much as I'd love to see all those blokes put on the gold jersey again, I'm happy to see them carrying our flag in some way elsewhere and they'll always be a part of our story.
