Have they gone somewhere else or just retired?

Newport reports Quinns have the biggest pack in the comp but are pretty limited in the backs. Wheels sadly have offically fallen off for both Iggies and Beecroft. The Hawkesbury Valley train has found another gear and they may well be unstoppable from here for the Barraclough.

Div 2 Blacktown vs the Bye: Blacktown just... Harleguins vs Newport: Breakers will have to much in attack and their lightweight mobile pack will wear the big boys out. Brealers by 18 Lindfield vs Beecroft: Old soldier to be too tough at home for the Beecroft boys. Lindfield by 10 Briars vs...

Interesting Div 2 weekend. Breakers put Hills to the sword in 5 grades away which is no easy task. Iggies forefeited 3rds which is concerning and got pumped in 1s and 2s. Anyone have a lense into what is happening with them? Sad to see a good club struggling for numbers after being very...

Which other clubs?

Just trying to catch up here....whats the exact issue? UNSW ran some higher graders in some delayed lower grade wet weather games?

Word on the street is another DIV 2 club looks set to potentially fold for the season.

They wouldnt stack this early but UNSW are the kings of the late stack in years gone by.

Hawkesbury Valley are big smokies for mine in Div 2. Looks like Breakers, HV, UNSW and Hills to fight it out for Barraclough.

Div 1 HH vs Knox: Hunters Hill towelled up Forest and think they will be to strong for Knobs. HH by 14 St Pats vs Shammies: A good win for Shammies in appaling conditions last week but St Pats to have their measure this week at home. Pats by7 Mosman vs Dirty Reds: Drummoyne to be too big too...

Subbies needs a strong Knobs in Div 1 so lets hope it contiunes.

Newport as in the UK? Do tell?

I stand corrected. Looks like after 6 seasons they can field the normal number of Div 1 grades.

Horrific injury to young Lindfield colt saw the match abandoned. The players screams as the ambos put his leg into a splint will haunt anyone that heard it. Best wishes from all to that brave young man for a full recovery on what is the worst Ive seen. In front of a very healthy wet weather...

What a disaster Div 2 is after just one week. Is anyone suprised about player numbers across some of these clubs? How did subbies let it get to this when half the clubs can only field 1s 2s and at best colts? I dont buy the 'we were lied to by clubs around numbers' as Subbies has a history...

Are they trying to destroy rugby? Head in sand stuff. Half the clubs can expect calls after Round 1 from Tim Richards saying what do you mean you can't field a 3rds, 4ths and colts? They just arent interested in listening.

They need to rejig the comp then for the good of the competition. My understanding is clubs such as Newport, Lindfield and UNSW have close to 40 colts and they will essentially run a 4th grade of Colts to give everyone game time. If other teams dont have lower grades then its going to make...

By the time the season kicks off most players would have already had it.

Back from my Covid break....catching up on the gossip. If St Pats and HH play 2nd Div subbies is a joke.

Controversy at porters today with 2nd grade interrupted after 10 mins for an ambulance for a ST PAts colt whom had dislocated his shoulder in a previous game going into shock. The game was reduced to 10m first half and 15m 2nd half but with St Pats leading 5-0 after 10m of the first half they...
