Turn it up Crashy!! In 2022 we won the Barraclough, CCs and were 3rd in Cowboy Cup along with all teams in the semis. I’m barracking for every club to have great numbers (including the Breakers) as the game is in decline and the pool gets smaller. I’m even cheering for a BOBs resurgence.

I know the Breakers don't start until the 22nd of February which I think feels about right with its first trial 4 weeks later. They have had around 30 of the super keen going since mid January for the 7s squad for upcoming tournaments this week and next. Id say for those that have already...

Any word from those clubs kicking off early preseason on early numbers yet?

Hearing RATS colts will be running only 3 grades this year.

Is this smoke and mirrors? Pre Season hasn't even started yet for most.

Problem is the players give away to many freebies to mates! Also when the bar gets 10 deep they go missing as its too stressful and they want to watch the footy. Better just to have the whole thing outsourced.

You'd have to think Rats 2nd grade will be almost a complete team of last years successful 1st colts team. I suspect Rats will be everywhere come semis time given the significant number of colts who should also sprinkle across all the lower grades.

Newport have being paying bar staff for many a year. With two bars and a busy BBQ it was beyond the scope of players and an over stretched committee to manage. It comes at a cost but it takes a lot of pressure of collecting the beer and restocking fridges.

I'd agree that St Pats will start as Barraclough Cup favourites.

Correction. I tipped both UNSW and Lindfield to beat Breakers in last years Barraclough finals. Breakers pre season doesn't start till mid February so will have to see how the boys are shaping up before I make a call, particularly in the front row department which was the achilles last year...

Yep will be huge. Hopefully its a Porters as they'd get a massive crowd.

What is it? If It Blue Mountains vs Lindfield it will be 100-0

Without wanting to rehash this and I acknowledge St Pats frustration on what has happened to them in 2023. Subbies need to come out with a statement that either indicates that from 2024 relegation will be now purely based on the Club Champs ladder. If that is no longer the case and there is a...

Credit where credit is due, congrats to subbies on getting out the Div 1 & 2 draws so early this year. It has clearly allowed clubs to plan their year, particularly from a social perspective. Looking at the Breakers as an example they have a mapped out their home game activities, along with...

The challenge for Lindfield of DIV 1 will not be to their backline, it will be the tight five where the issues may arise against the likes of the HH & mountain big men. Looking forward to see how they go. But the big focus in 2024 and pressure will be on the Whales to see if subbies made the...

At 26 you'd have to assume he will play.

Judging from what I am hearing around the beaches can you put me down for $100 on Newport at $8 to take the CC's please.

Will be watching Lindfield with interest in DIV 1 and wish them well. Traditionally strong in the lower grades, but fear unless they have a good recruitment year in the front row area they may fight out Kentwell Cup spoon with Forest. But of course happy to be proved wrong by Old Soldier. From...

4th grade hasn't been a requirement for a few years now. What happened to Hawkesbury Valley, there was speculation they were staying up and Beecroft in Div 3? My personal view is Beecroft is the right call for Div 2

Would the Emus arrival dilute the Mountain men at all? From my drunken bus trip memories Lapstone is only 5 minutes up the hill from Penrith?
