Washed out games to be played the 27th of July? Its the only free weekend i see left for this season.

Jezz there were some interesting results over the weekend. The whales getting up by such a big margin at Lapstone blew me away. Despite a red card Blacktown knocking over HAC at home Oatley getting beaten at home by Mac Uni Pretty pleased BOBs picked up a win in 1st grade. They have...

I wonder if you are talking about my club (Bobs) or Iggies? Both clubs lost high scoring games from seemingly unloseable positions on Saturday in the last few minutes

A week and half until the season starts can't wait! Anybody willing to stick their hands up and have a stab at first grade premiers for this year? Personally looking forward to keeping any eye on a few things: (1) How will Blueys go in Div 1 this year? Always impressed with how well they...

From my point of view it all depends on what you want from your rugby competition. If clubs want to spend cash to create teams then let them create their own comp. As many people on here have stated the guy who slogs it out in 3rd grade, backs up for 2's and cooks the bbq during 1st grade is...

Any word on how the various colts teams are shaping up? It will be interesting to see how the 3rd divisions colts goes this year. Blacktown have a junior feeder club and with the bonus of a few away matches being close by they could be a darkhorse! Has it been confirmed that Bobs won't be...

Hi Pfitzy Yeah all the clubs have dedicated home grounds. When I was lat involved at BOBs there was the rugby field longways and soccer field going sideways on our home ground. Bobs always got first preference on the ground. Bobs had a similar run last season with a run of home and away...

Div 1 and 2 draws on the subbies website: http://rugbyresults.rugby.net.au/competitions.asp?id=666 I am sure there are reasons for it, but looking at BOBs draw in the first half of the season they have 3 games in a row at home. In the second half obviously 3 in a row away. I don't know why it...

Great to see Blacktown pushing themselves. I remember the days when they and Liverpool were powerhouses in Div 2, great to see them and Blueys pushing up the divisions! I hope Saints can rebound from this!

Div 1 draw that I have come across: http://www.bluemountains.rugby.net.au/page/2019-Draw-x-6429-251-16463.html I understand that the gradings meetings may not have taken place yet but its a shame subbies haven't got any draws up on their website.

Mate i'm well aware of what he's been charged with. He's finished as player in Oz. I was using him as an example of someone who might be free to play. More interested to see if any shute shield players have slipped into subbies this year. I know that in the past couple of years Jarred...

Any word on the grape vine of any stars turning out in subbies in 2019? I kind of miss the old days when guys like Will Brame would come down for a final run before retirement. Any subbies club willing to give Hayne a run? I have heard he's training with Eastwood, could be a handy 15 or 12...

Not just the ARU struggling with player numbers and administration of local competitions: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-02-21/afl-losing-touch-with-its-roots-as-country-footy-leagues-suffer/10830802?section=sport...

My only question is where do these players go when the money stops? Do they just stop playing rugby completely? There are plenty of clubs who have attracted talent over the years for a short period of time. I don't think it helps said clubs in the long term as the players don't have any...

Any word on when we might see a draw for season 2019? I saw on the Shute Shield facebook page that former Penrith and St Ives coach Chip Carroll is coaching Hornsby in the central coast comp in 2019. Good appointment by Hornsby.

Looks like he played colts for Gordon in 2017. Interesting that he ended up at Blueys in 2018!!!!

Is this in relation to 'Saints'?

As per usual lots of things happening in subbies and plenty of points of interest in 2019: (1) Will Blueys continue their hot streak in 2019. Its going to be great to see how they go this year. (2) If Blueys have a strong season who's at most risk at dropping out of Div 1 for 2020? (3) Will...

Do we not think the likes of Beecroft and Redfield will keep HAC honest this year?

Meatpie I don't disagree with anything you have said. Bob's 3rd grade in 18 was a collection of former higher grade players coming back for one last hurrah! Obviously some of the colts from 18 will filter up the grades, but if a lot of the older guys pull the pin after this season then that...
