A few things of interest so far: * Redfield listed in Div 4 * No sign of Sydney Irish, are they running around in 2021? * Kings Old Boys listed in a full time comp not sure if you would call it Div 5 or 6 I certainly hope Raptors make a go of Div 3. It is amazing to see the make up of Div...

A couple of cracking games coming up this weekend in Div 2. Undefeated Hills away to St Pats is going to be great. Hills have to play St Pats and HH in the last two rounds which will provide a great run into the finals. Old Barker vs UNSW. This game decides both teams chances of making the...

I've got to say the whole promotion thing is a tricky one. In 2018 BOBs were celebrating 50 years. That brought some players out of retirement to have a run in 3rd grade. A club championship , 1st Grade minor premiers and runners up and colts and 3rd grade premierships. Seems like a stable base...

Well done to Bobs on the win I think it’s the first time we have beaten St Pats in 1st grade! Very impressed that St Pats can attract the quality of players they do!

I saw that St Pats have two colts sides and are entering a side in the Radford (???) Cup competition. Could they fill the gap???

Updated draws from the top 2 divisions on the subbies website. Glad to see things are moving quickly!

I see they have the draws for the top 3 divisions live on the subbies sites. At this stage they have the draw for the first 2 rounds for 4th division which looks like it will be a 7 team competition. Balmain starting with a home clash against Sydney Irish will certainly be an interesting clash!

I know that Bobs had a team last year and they plan to continue that in 2020. In fact to reflect that they have updated the clubs name to Old Barker Rugby Club.

Based on that map they really should be targeting the South West of Sydney for serious rugby growth. I do remember that Liverpool and Campbelltown used to be giants of Sydney subbies. I also believe their should be a club from Bankstown (I know they previously had a club in the mid 2000's. Of...

Pfitzy! It will be very interesting to see what happens in 2020. I notice that you have Quins and Canterbury in Div 3 replacing Brothers and Newport who you have promoted to Div 2 over Redfield. I think the main thing subbies have to get right in 2020 is the number of grades per division. Is...

Mate unlucky with the way things turned out on Saturday. Your first grade team had a big turn around after the first few rounds to fly through to the grand final. To win second grade and 4th grade and have four teams in the grand final would suggest HH have had a great season after being...

Congratulations to Forest. I've seen the video on the Waratahs facebook page of the final kick. Very exciting. I am sure Pats and HH will be frustrated they couldn't win the big one. I think HH lost the final in 17 against HAC so they have now lost a couple in the last 3 years. I still think...

My question in all of this is: What do the Two Blues and the Pirates need to be competitive? Is it money, management resources, players, coaches, volunteers? If say John Singleton walked into 2 Blues headquarters and said here's a cheque for $2 million make it work. Would it help? I hear...

I think the beauty of promoting Pats, HH and Forest is that you are promoting 3 teams who have a similar level of playing strength. I think the difficulty in the past with promotion from Div 2 to Div 1 has been clubs crashing back the next season due to the difference between the divisions...

I am aware that the GPS comp is unbelievably strong competition but I am shocked that Shore have not won it more often! They always used to have really strong sporting depth!

I brought this up a couple of years ago and said that they should throw the divisions open and get clubs to nominate where they want to be. In Div 2 you have Forest, Pats, Lindfield, HH and Hills who could go up to Div 1 numbers and playing depth wise. Why not push two clubs up in one go? If...

Don't WH colts play at St Luke's? I imagine there aren't the greatest facilities there but it might be on the cards

It will also be interesting to see what subbies want to do if BOBS finish above Epping in the Div 2 club champs. Obviously we have not been able to field a 4th grade side this season. Does this mean we automatically get dropped? If we do does anybody want to take our place? I know in the past...

I have to say I was shocked looking through some of the school fixtures lists I could find online. My glory days were in the 13F's at Barker back in the 90's. But i also refereed at the school in the 2000's I know AFL is now available in CAS schools but where have all the teams gone? In some...

Hi guys Really interested to know how many opens teams each of the schools have these days. I left a good while ago now, but from what I remember all the schools went to at least 3rd's/4ths and Barker, Knox and Waves had more teams. Is this still the case or has the number of teams each...
