If there is a match being streamed it should be the replay of last year's GF - Griffith Blacks v Wagga City in Griffith- This is by far the Match of the Round.

Nothings perfect in this world - lets just hope the likes of Reddies (2nd Grade) and Albury (3rds) hang in there because it will be the same as last year in the lower Grades Draw - CHAOS !

That idea is better than the current format but the argument from the Clubs will be " We all want to be at the same venue" well that's definitely not happening in the current Draw with Hay being Tumut's 3rd Grade side and clubs have to split when they play Tumut away. Also the Clubs split when...

Unfortunately, it is all about numbers plain and simple.Country Kids in that age group usually move away for further study, get an Apprenticeship or just have a break from playing Junior Sport (sometimes 2 or 3 codes on a weekend). The City kids have the population and with those numbers...

LEETON WOMEN WITHDRAW FROM COMPETITION visa the DA The Club President doesn't seem overly confident on their Men's numbers either - Agree with other contributers Leeton should play 3rd Grade this season to give that Competition 6 Teams Leeton will field just one side across the four...

KRAUTZ TO PLAY WITH WAGGA WARATAHS IN 2023 Via the DA Liam Krautz feared his playing days were over after suffering a badly broken leg last season. He needed to have three surgeries and had two plates and 19 screws inserted to stabilise the problem with fears he'd never even walk the same...

Red Jerseys and most Clubs struggling for 3rd Grade players

M y mail is that some clubs are struglng with player numbers overall - possibly resultig in numerous changes to the original draws - not ideal but what do the Comp organisers do ? maybe wait until the Clubs know their final player numbers until the draws are released ? lets see wahat happens...

Must be pretty fancy 'Finger Food' May as well wait for the function to finish and meet the Players/ Coaches at the Bar

Hi PB - I don't think there is a limit for Senior players and Grades. I just believe it would be unfortunate if a player got badly hurt playing a fresh 1st Grade team after playing 2 earlier matches when he is nothing more than a 3rd Grade player but a great Club Man.

19 players for 3 Grades is maybe a great committment but these days is more a Duty Of Care issue for the Club

Going on the recently released Draw it looks like Albury have got 3 Grades this year as well as their Women's Team . This suggests the Steamers might have a lot more depth in 2023 which is definitely a positive for them. My Top 4 in no order is City and Griffith as definites and my maybes at...
