HERASY!!!!! SACRILEGE!!!!!! FALSE NEWS!!!!! No such people exist Pfitzy. Pulver, Clyne, Papworth, et al. have told me so. And proven by making sure no money is wasted a such a tooth fairy constituency I'm so disappointed Pfitzy, and you were showing such promise with your comments about...

fixed:D

BB....maybe you should dial back on the invective. I appreciate no club is perfect but calling clubs "filth" so quickly after inferring another club is racist, you're pushing the envelope. Taking out the most recent case, Hunters Hill hasn't spent any more (and probably less) time in front of...

Correct It's incredible how quickly one can come to that solution. Sadly most SS clubs feel they couldn't support the senior grades without a number of lower grades.....despite the NRL, AFL, NBL, Super Netball, A-League and pretty much every other premier sporting competition around the world...

Ahhhh, and there it all falls apart. Very few have the money to invest and why would they anyway. Not that I have any cash, but why on earth would I invest big dollars (because that's what we're really talking about) in a club and competition that is required to support 2-3 grades and a couple...

Ahh Pfitzy, you are sounding like the "Establishment's" opinion of all clubs west of the Pacific highway

Oh Fuck it....I'll bite.... Put simply, Subbies is about having a bit of fun. If you're serious enough to want money to play, go the Shute Shield or League. When clubs, by virtue of doing what they can for EVERY player, don't have wads of cash lying around come up against the big cash clubs...

I hear the Hills-Lindfield game was abandoned when an ambulance was called and the player couldn't be moved in time to resume the match. Beyond that, not much info.

Sadly because a choice has to be made. Either the few get their shot and miss club games or the majority have there pastime thrown into disarray so the team with rep players is not disadvantaged. I personally disagree with it because the Clubs with resources and the ability to recruit talented...

Hey Seagull, I do not think too harshly of HH for doing this. It's in the rules and if notification happened on Monday then well done for communicating. The spirit of Subbies is for guys just to play for fun. The rep program is fine of itself but why should players, who pay to play, have...

Just heard HH invoking some obscure rule postponing first grade because of the guys they have in the Subbies Rep side. Fine if it's in the rules but seriously, stuffing opposing Subbies clubs around because one club chose to nominate their players for rep duty. Maybe clubs could request a...

Given the unpredictability of Schoolboy rugby that could be a risk. It's a long shot for sure but Cranbrook know a storm is headed their way and the choice is get bashed or fight it. While there are few at Cranbrook in line for CAS honours, it's doubtful they would just lie down and not take...

I would love to see a competition encompassing all the associations. It would benefit the players, the schools and especially Australian Rugby. But there are several factors holding it up. Central to which is promotion/relegation in the normal sense is unworkable. For example, you have a year...

I apologise Harv if you have misunderstood. It's not an attack, just an acceptance that to have a meaningful cross association competition that is competitive AND the traditional association competition, there needs to more time allocated to the season than currently exists. By having a...

The various solutions to enhancing schoolboy rugby, making competitions competitive etc. all hinge on one question that is yet to be answered. Do schools want to maintain their association competitions structures in one form or another. If so, then there cannot, nor should there be, any...

While I'm not one to normally defend Forest, it's usually not the Club's players with the bad behaviour. It usually the locals. I remember talking to a Forest Club Captain a couple of years ago and he apologised profusely for the sideline but said as a public space they weren't in a position to...

In an ideal world, for sure. But in reality, if you maintain the principle in some smaller Clubs you forfeit all 2 or 3 grades and then nobody turns up after that. Making a stand is one thing, but shooting yourself in the head to prove a point is less productive.

For some reason it's defaulting to that page. just click on "back" until you get to the full list of divisions. Hope that helps

Just been talking to some guys at one Club. Subbies seem to have done away with paper team sheets and gone onto an app. The Club is getting stressed about regos because without them they can't go into new app and if players aren't on the app they can't take the field. Pretty big challenge by...

Totally random but I was thinking about why SS just doesn't appeal to the masses. Yes there are all the reasons hashed and bashed on this forum but something jumped out as I prepare for a little holiday to the US and planning sporting experiences. SS Clubs have no identity, generally speaking...
