Well to contradict myself............. Subbies have updated the clubs listed in each of the top 3 divisions on their website. HH down, Blueys up to Div 1. Beecroft down and Bobs up to Div 2. However Saints are still listed in Div 3

There was a comment earlier in this topic that subbies are asking clubs to nominate for certain divisions. I am fairly certain that BOB's and Beecroft will nominate for 3rd division in 2019

Great to see that they are aiming to stay in 3rd division if the structure stays the same as it was in 2018. This is a risky move on Saints behalf although I think it continues to show that there are too many clubs in the area. In a 20km radius you have: Knox Div 1 Forest Div 2 Lindfield Div...

Mate I think your best option would be following King's Old boys lead from this year and getting the older guys together for a run in the Halligan cup!

Haha Crashy you should be the club spokesman!!!!

World cup year, and the wallabies struggling I really hope 2019 can be the start of something positive. It really makes me sad reading annual reports for 2005/06 with the under 85 midweek comp, strong playing numbers and new clubs coming online. I think the major thing is that players don't...

Hi Guys I hope you are enjoying the off season. I found an interesting article on the abc in relation to AFL in Western Australian country towns. I really think the article could relate to any sport in Australia right now. Lack of players, Volunteers, and clubs struggling. I really hope 2019...

From a bobs supporter congratulations on the two premierships on the weekend. Too good, what can you say!

The thing is that clubs go in cycles. You could argue about HAC being in 3rd Div this year. They won the 2nd div 1st grade title last year. However their lower grades struggled in Div 2. I wonder if we are getting to the point where maybe 1st grade should be graded and then the rest of the...

I am a long way removed from the inner workings of the club being on the other side of the world! However the only comment I will make is that the 3rd grade side is made up of former 1st grade players who have come back for this season. That has given the club more depth and allowed 2nd grade...

Any Div 1 picks? I do find it interesting that we don't hear that much about 1st division. On another note, does anybody know why there are so many former Hawkesbury Valley players at HAC? Is it a case of being a more successful neighbour for the last few years and players have drifted across?

Don't disagree with any of this really. I think BOBs 2nd grade has suffered the player drain to keep 1st grade going. In 1st grade Bobs vs HAC will be a cracker. One draw and a 3 point win to BOBs has been the seasons results. I think it will be another high scoring game with the lead going...

Laura, would the wolves be in a position to field 3 teams next year and move up to Div 4? You guys have had a great season so far

Interesting week for club champs results. If you were subbies would you make Sydney Irish or Canterbury come up at the expense of Saints? Saints have had a couple of tough years and it might help them in the short term to be able to drop colts and go down a division. However are Irish or...

So some big matches heading into the final round. Div 2 1st Grade - Straight shoot out between Epping and Hills for 4th spot. Epping must of been pumped after Forest got a late draw against Hills. This will be a huge match can't wait for the final result 2nd grade - top 4 sorted, it will...

I do love that you still get an email notification of the post so you can see it in all its glory!!!!

What happened with this colts game? Did it go ahead? I notice the table hasn't been updated.

Div 3 interesting games this weekend. 1st Grade: Redfield vs Brothers. Brothers knocked Redfield out of the top four in the final game last season so I am sure they will be up for this one. Brothers in the top four for the first time this season. Brothers have HAC at home next round which...

Jezz Div 2 has some big matches coming up to decide the top four. The best thing for Epping is they play both Hills and UNSW. UNSW have Blueys home, Epping home and Forest away. That is a tough draw to finish the season. Big advantage having two games at home although I think the Epping game...

Quick plug for BOB's 50th anniversary celebrations this weekend vs Iggies. It is also doubling up as a fundraiser and awareness day for the Leukaemia Foundation. There are going to be plenty of old boys down there celebrating 50 years of BOBs rugby and the 10 year anniversary of the 3...
