At the start of the season the draws sit in draft pending feedback from clubs. I understand historically that Forest and Newport have always tried to limit their home games clashing with Manly and Rats home games. I'd suggest the back to back bus trips is a trade off to ensure limited financial...

Having some strong feeder clubs I thought Rats colts would be more competive?

Looks like Hunters got a warm welcome back to DIV 1 from the Whales. That’s a strong across the grades result for powerhouse Mosman as Boronia is a tough place to register a clean sweep. Barraclough looks the most competitive of the 1st grade comps with Hills and Forest looking impressive...

A mate who watched Southern Districts play Penrith last week reckons it will be unsustainable for Penrith to field lower grades into the season and they will most likely disintegrate. So it would not be unreasonable to expect that as players head for the exit that both Blue mountains and HAC...

HAC vs Newport- Said it before and ill continue to say it HAC are only a one team club, 5-6 former Shute Shield First graders playing for them in key positions will do that for you. their lower grades are getting tired of them having a full bench for ones and not filtering down below. They will...

Iggies vs Brothers - Expect some horrific cricket scores in the lower grades with scores into the 3 figures a definite possibility. Iggies had a big win over Saints but Im hearing everyone will this year. Brothers got beaten by a pretty sharp BOBs outfit so this is definately the match of the...

It would appear given they were beaten 52-18 you don't believe everything you read in the newspaper.

The answer is simple. Triple the ARU levy, quadruple the NSWRU levy on every player at grassroots level in the country and lets just wrap the game up forever in Australia. How Cameron Clyne and Bill Pulver can sleep at night is beyond me. They should be marched in chains down George street and...

Interesting 3rd DiV results. 3 blow outs in 1st grade. Saints, Hawkes Valley and Breakers beaten well although Newport had a player red carded early which effectively ended the contest when the scores were 14-8. Brothers lower grades appear to have picked up where they left off last season...

Some players can expect to play 2 games of footy round one or alternatively there may be lower grade forefeits come next Friday. I think daylight savings ending will help people reset to footy season but there will be many crossed fingers waiting for final numbers at training sessions...

DIV 3 stuff Forest played Newport, Terrigal and an impressive Canberra club on Saturday. Newport colts looked sharp, Forest looked like they have plenty of numbers and the club from Canberra was very solid. In other news Brothers have had two consecutive weather cancelled trials with...

Should make for an interesting year then when two weeks from the season openers and half the clubs have fingers crossed players will come out of the wood work. Meanwhile Mosman is trying to book Halligan Cup games for the next two months!!

Elaborate on basket case? I’m hearing HAC and Hawk Valley are struggling for Colts

Breakers, BOBs and Iggies trialled in the heat at Porters. Looks like all 3 clubs have plenty of colts, but Iggies and BOBs struggled for numbers a little in grade due to travel and heat.

Any reports from KNOBs, BOBS and Saints trial?

Maybe, however the Div 6 comp is entry level for any one team clubs looking to get a start into subbies so if you cant handle Div 6 they are in trouble.

That tells me they don't have the numbers to commit to a regular competition. The once mighty Kings all but gone. Sadly there will be more to follow.

Wow how sad. We used to include Roseville in our trials and they always had 25+ young fit blokes turn up and where pretty handy players. I wonder if Brothers will pick any of them up? Likewise Dee Why, maybe some will head to Collaroy or Forest but as is normally the way when a clubs folds...

When you say Roseville and Dee Why are gone do you mean as in ceased to exist? Or gone down a Div.

Have we seen a crowd figure? Looked about 4000.
