Also heard that Balmain might be interested in being one of Sydney's representatives in the new ARU club comp. Any truth to that?

I like the changes that have been made. I think it is time to do a complete re-jig of all the divisions. I really do feel for some clubs in Div 1 like Iggies who have reasonable numbers and proud history yet they are up against semi pro clubs. Most clubs go in cycles with player numbers unless...

JSRF10 you guys have had a standout first season. Congratulations and hope you can claim some silverware

Id like to get everybody's thoughts with only a few games to go before the finals. But ill give you mine for what its worth! Div 1 Cant believe how tight Kentwell is this year. I have been very impressed by Mosman, Pats and Balmain this year. Biggest disappointment would have to be the boys...

Crashy i agree with you entirely. This weekend against Saints is going to tell us a lot!

Its very interesting that you write Barker off. It is a very young team and they pushed Lindfield on Saturday who beat Oatley the week before. They have a very young playing group within the club and will only get better. Bobs since they were promoted to Div 2 in 2006 have been in every...

Mate i am one of those blokes who cant get enough of any sport. Love the Tigers, Tahs, Wallabies, Swans and Sydney Kings. However wearing my old boys jersey in certain areas of town is a big risk hahaha

I think 2013 is going to be a very interesting year for subbies. I honestly have no idea who is going to get relegated from Div 1 in 2014 but i think Brothers are going to run away with Div 2 this year. I am involved with one of these clubs, but i think we are going to see a much weaker...

Season is over, congrats to all the premiers!

Guys if you have access there are some great discussions taking place on the subbies facebook page! Took a look and get involved!

Good luck barbarian, it is always tough to attract coaches!!!

Question for you all out there in subbies land and i think Barbarian will be able to chip in with some advice. How have clubs relegated from Div 1 back to Div 2 rebounded the next year? I know Kings were promoted for season 2009 but went straight back down. Were player numbers decimated for...

I do tend to agree. My subbies club are going to be relegated from Div 1 this year. Late in the season we have struggled for numbers once the season rolls on. As an example this year in subbies has been a bit of a mess. The decision to scrap Div 4 and throw all these clubs into Div 3 has...

Ok this seems well and good, but how do you get a former Wallaby and waratah (Cross) to play for you? I am sure he is not doing it out of the goodness of his own heart. Why would he turn down professional contracts to play subbies? Maybe i am just jealous of the success you guys have had this...

Can anyone stop Brothers in Div 3 and Balmain in Div 2?

I take it you were at Hassel Park then on Saturday? I think the ARC did some good things by creating 3 teams in Sydney. I will always understand why the SS clubs want to protect their own interests but it would be great to start from scratch!

I agree entirely, but we gave The Wildfires (Newcastle) and Illawarriors (The Gong) 2 years each. That was never enough time to make an impact. By reducing the number of Sydney based teams you allow the new clubs a leg up by recruiting players that are not required in the newly merged clubs...

I agree there would always be people against the merger. I follow the Wests Tigers in the NRL and it took me a while to get used to the merger, but the success has meant that Kids are now growing up to support the merged team. I think mergers would be good for the game allowing strong clubs to...

I have grown up on the North Shore and i respect the need for a team in the area. However do we need Gordon and Norths? The number of junior players in the area is immense. However i will use a subbies example. With the changing demographics of the Chatswood area, the subbies team have slipped...

The competition is a geographical nightmare! I know there are historical backgrounds to a lot of teams, but can anyone tell me why we have: (1) Easts and Randwick- how can there possibly be enough players in the area to support both clubs? (2) Norths and Gordon- THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER...
