Poor old Sutherland doesn’t look to have a venue for tomorrow. I’m sure it’s just a quirk of the app but it’s not down for Concord.

Yes but not based on ref points, despite given each game. It's club nominations...

If only we had some more games to watch this weekend as opposed to them all being jammed into the 1 weekend..

They’ve got juniors and a pretty big untapped pool in the area. Will be interesting to see if Penrith impacts that unlimited player pool in the area.

Well... if you ignore the Rugby Legaue club just across the river with 4 recent premierships and the entire pyramid that supports that
Emus have started working with Penrith Anglican I believe.

I’d imagine that would be a big factor in why Colleagues and Waverley have been so dominant in the lower divisions.
Can anyone stop the dominance of Waves and colleagues in these divisions? 4th straight GF for Waverly in Whiddon. Waverlys won 3 of the last 5 Judd cups and into another GF.

Early tips for GF day next week:
Sutherland - Colleagues to avenge the SF loss over Waverley
Judd - Waverley unbackable favourites to beat Colleagues
Whiddon - tight one but calling it for Waverley over Colleagues
Barbour - Newport in a canter over Mosman
Burke - Hunters Hill over Waverley. Just.
Kentwell - hard to look past Hunters Hill going undefeated this season over Blue Mountains. That said, the goats haven't lost since R9 at Boronia, so it could be anything...

You know, I reckon one of these teams should have been in the Subbies-provided rep/clash jersey to avoid the sky blue-on-sky blue clash

Subbies rep jerseys are sky blue?

Yeah, I forgot sarcasm doesn't translate over the internet. I would say those 2 are harder to call than UNSW and Briars with the matching navy shorts.
5th Grade has been Friday nights since I've been involved in Grand Final days (so since 2023) but I would like to see it definitely "mainstreamed" onto a bigger stage. Even D2 Grand Finals would be good, get them in front of a bigger crowd.

I found the 1st Grade game a much harder watch with little variation in the colours. Thought you did a great job all day with some tough clashes.
I’ve raised it before and I can understand the lower divisions not having money for an alternative strip but these clubs have money and sponsors to burn. You can’t tell me they can’t afford an alternative strip?
Why have it in the rules if you don’t enforce it?

It’s insane that we are starting games at 9am and not having enough time to fit everything in even before we add more to it. What happens when Div 2 has a stand alone women’s comp? Do we move 4s to Friday night?
I love Concord as a venue but it’s not fit for purpose as it can’t host night matches. Kentwell kicking off at 7:30 under lights would be an impressive spectacle and allow the Women’s Final to be added in between Colts and 2s.
But you know Kentwells always been 3:15….

Kentwell at night would be a hell of a spectacle
Concord has never had lights and the grounds that do such as Rothwell (for example) don't tend to have TV quality lighting
We would likely need to look at a Leichhardt-type ground like Shute use before we could do that sort of thing but I'm actually a fan of that.

We are playing Sutherland at at Woolhara why not the whole day there? Or is the lighting not good enough.
Surely there are venues out there that could cope with this. You could add in a presentation part to recognise all the award winners they would tick that box and encourage more people/clubs to attend. Make a big end of year celebration with the “pinnacle” of our game the centre piece.
