What are the thoughts last night. Refs fault? Or Do we need a 10 who actually plays the game

Ill back LC to win both the Kentwell medal as well as Man of the Match tomorrow. Good conditions, fast deck. They wont keep up

Sutherland: Mosman (1) v Waverley (3) - Mosman have players that should be playing 1st Grade, not sure how they get away with it. Waverley have a bit of size for a 5th grade team, however cant see them matching the skill of this Whales squad. Watch out for the 15. Looks handy. Mosman by 15...

Just watched the Barraclough this morning. Was this 2 teams who didnt want to win? Newport had the game in the bag and decided to gift it to UNSW and then UNSW decided they didnt want to win. Seemed to have alot of possession. Feel bad for the player who dropped the ball. Never nice to see in a...

Devestated for 2's - But Credit to St Pats - They got it done in the end and have a good squad. No melt down today. Felt sorry for Pats colts - no one likes to bow out after a draw. Huge effort from 1's - Great win. Looking forward to next week. Hoping these 2 belt each other now

Pfitzy - Why have subbies moved us to the plastic? Suns shining, 23 degs tomorrow. Feel that this will help Waverley given their game plan. Ill definitely be inspecting #2 to see how bad it is.

Div 1 Kentwell Waverley - HH.- I would have preferred to be coming up against Colleagues as I feel Waverley are a stronger club. But to be the best, you have to beat the best. Looking forward to getting a full 80 minutes against Waverley on a decent field. Weather should allow for running...

Id hate to take you fishing @Mangoman - You take the bait everytime

Enough with the Referees Div 1 - Kentwell Semi Finals Any predictions from the group before I go into my Thursday summaries? Might as well ask for Div 2 as well - Anyone from UNSW able to let me know if you are stacking 4's this week or focusing on the Barraclough?

My criticism isnt with the referees. You can see the International referees having to follow a procedure that has been put in place by someone who hasnt played the game to understand the difference between accidental and deliberate acts. Pull back on the card happy recommendations from the...

Completely agree with you there - Hard when it changes the outcome of a season for 15 people. Not blaming the referees in this situation - They get told to sanction in a certain way, although the lack of consistency is the hardest part to swallow.

Heavy D - What are your thoughts on the Red card in the Div 4 2nd grade game vs the tackle in the opening 2 minutes of your first grade game by your - 6/7, which ended up only being a Penalty? The latter appeared to be a more dangerous tackle yet the sanctions completely different.

Very tough loss - Boys defended really well at the end. Felt we earned a turnover late but 50/50's generally go with the attacking team. 4's were always up against it with Mosman being very strong. Should be a big week with 1's and 2's both in huge games. Get down to Woollahra instead of...

Similar to World Rugby at the moment - The over use of cards has too much of an impact on results unfortunately. Just watched this 'red card'.The player looks like he twists himself into a bad position rather than the tackler driving down.

Wow - What a First Grade game yesterday. Didnt look good for a long time - but the boys were able to work their way back into the game. Even down 10 late, it felt like we would run over the top of Petersham. Looking forward to next week!

Is the captain back from injury? This does tip the scales. With the weather predicted - are you sure the outside backs will see the ball? Could be the fastest track in the world and the rolling maul would still come out.

Div 1 - Kentwell. HH - Petersham. Was a good account last week. Both teams tried to play around the mud, so this week on the beautiful synthetic surface should be different. Rain wont impact this one. Petersham have some solid ball runners and good structure, although we should have enough in...

Watched a few of the finals over the week at work. Div 2- Some good games in the higher grades - Lindfield and HV a cut above. Hills and Barker just prolonged their Mad Monday by 1 week and lucky to get an extra game. Should be good games this week. Newport HV GF??? Div 4 - The amount of...

Horrid sport cricket. What were the grounds like at the other games this week in the Div 2/3/4 Finals Colleagues got onto Pfitzys favourite surface while Hudson had improved slightly on earlier in the year and Melwood was melwood.

Completely agree - Alot of players are good for the first half of the season but dont commit until its finals time again. Alot of sports in the same situation trying to get people to commit full time is almost impossible. Players then will come back for finals time. Subbies have alot of big...
