Good discussion going here. DIV 1: Beecroft are busting to move to DIV 2 DIV 2: UNSW coaches want DIV 1...players not so convinced DIV 2: Newport no interest Div 1 DIV 2: Blue mountains want back to DIV 3 DIV 3: Hills looks strong enough to go to DIV 2 DIV 3: Hornsby and Briars clubs fighting...

Maybe they'd find 3rd Div easier on the travel. If they go to illawarra comp it will prove problematic for subbies proposed new Div structure next year.

Any truth to the rumour that Campbelltown are looking at ditching subbies and moving to the Wollongong comp? Travel is killing their player numbers and the prospect of Div 2 with its large contingent of northern sydney based clubs will only make travel worse. Also hearing St Ives have picked up...

Breakers Colts going through rebuilding phase after the dream team premiership sides of 2012/13. BOBS look like they are hitting there straps and St Ives vs Hunters clash looks important if they are to pressure Forest or Blue Mountains for relegation to 3rd Div.

My spies tell me Brothers have a very strong 1s & 2s and are developing a solid colts program. They ran into a red hot Newport who remain undefeated however Brothers did have a couple out on rep duties. They are still the team to be come finals time.

Interesting results again on the weekend. What on earth has happened to Briars and Hornsby. DIV 4 or a worse fait awaits them next year. DIV 2 talking point has to be Forest. Beaten in 1s, 2s and 3s by St Ives. Blue Mountains will be licking their lips awaiting Forests arrival at Lapstone this w/e.

Northshore competiton -would be a cracker Mosman Forest Newport Barker Brothers Lindfield St Ives Beecroft Hunters Hill Knox

The current situation we have is that only 7 teams in the entire subbies comp can field 5 teams + colts. Im not sure it would be dragging down to the lowest denominator if it was 4 teams + colts. Lets look at the facts, last weekend there were only two Halligans cup games played. The gaps...

Agreed that subbies need to look at team numbers. Clubs with stronger numbers can field teams in lower DIvs like Colleagues currently do.

Petersham are a strong club and good bunch of guys so glad to see they are holding their own. 2nd Div 1st grade looks cometitive this year. Forest vs Breakers this w/e will be a cracker and should give the comp an idea if Newport are the real deal in 1s. 1st Div clubs struggle for numbers...

Yes interesting seeing Barker forefeit 3rds and 4ths on the weekend. The holiday period has certainly caused issues and will be interesting to see if any clubs lose momentum post this break. The Big issue next year in Div 2 if subbies continue with 8 team draw similiar to 3rd Div this year. 3rd...

Let's hope so but if you ask around you'll find there is significant concern. One Northern suburbs 2nd Div club ran a story in their local paper talking up recent player recruitment then only two days later struggled to field a team at yesterday's Hawkesbury 10s.

Word is that many clubs across all DIvs are stunned at the lack of players at pre-season. Some junior clubs are reporting 20%+ falls in regos.

Interesting analysis. Certainly 2nd Div clubs would love a North shore club so assume they'd hate to see the back of Newport and the Saints. Suggest you are being a bit hard on Newport who if memory serves me won 4th grade two years running prior to this years game time change. My mail for 2nd...

Crashy, I have heard Newport have been confirmed in 2nd DIV for next year by Subbies.
