The only question to ask is, do the people of Penrith want a rugby club?????

Its just a personal opinion but the gap between 1st Div and second Div is growing. Clubs that have been promoted have struggled to stay up (Knox being the exception really) in 2007 Bobs went up and came straight back down. Same thing with Kings in 2008. Lindfield managed to stay up for two...

Look if clubs wish to pay players, and they can afford it, good luck to them! It would be better if all the clubs were out in the open though. Maybe all the clubs that wish to do that could be in thier own div????

Has anybody one here ever played for the Emu's? Do they ever have a chance of attracting good numbers?

From the players they have signed i wouldnt be suprised if it is them! Dont know how clubs can afford to do that! Must destroy the club at some point, couldnt imagine being at a club for 5 years, and then someone coming in who is paid to be there taking the spot!!!! Must say there are 3 clubs...

QLD have the same structure dont they? Grade (Premiership) then down to Subbies?

I must admit i am surprised at Beecroft's tactics. I played with them as a junior, and quite a few of those guys have moved onto the senior club. They have a huge junior club, they shouldnt need to recruit from near and far! However in saying that, there is nothing to stop Hills from putting...

Any reason why they all jumped ship? How old is Blakehurst as a club? Is there any issue with too many clubs in the area? Oatley St George, Rockdale, Blakehurst and Southern Districts are all closely located! I know this doesnt compare with the Eastern Suburbs, Inner city or North Shore...

So when are clubs playing their first trial games? Do teams actually keep score?????

You can find all the info here: http://www.kmc.nsw.gov.au/resources/documents/koola_park_5Apr2011GB.04.pdf Sounds like a great upgrade!

Did a bit of hunting around. Koola Park is set for massive upgrades. They are putting in a new oval, relocating cricket pitches and nets and huge underground drainage system. The area badly needs more fields!!!!

Haha this is so true! Bobs now have a soccer field running across our rugby field, means we end up with a cows paddock by the end of the year! What are they doing to Koola Park? Big upgrades?

Any Knox Old boys out there? Why are you guys still playing at Bara Brui? Has to be the worst oval in the whole comp! Surely you could get Loffberg Oval???? Why did Blakehurst fold?????

I agree that a ten team comp might be a bit tough to support. Thats why we need Div 4! We need to support the likes of St George, and get them to grow. I know they had a tough time of it when they were in Div 3 and needed 4 teams. However we should be pushing clubs like Merrylands and Harlequins...

Crashy! Great to see we have got our 5ths together. Im in London for the next couple of years, but it will be great to keep an eye on the clubs progress via the web!!! Good luck with the team, also great that we start with Knox, it will ensure a great turnout for round one in terms of numbers!

I will be keeping a close eye on Brothers, they had a terrible 2010, but then with the new players that you mentioned they swept all before them in 2011, its going to be interesting to see how they go! Yes i think its going to be tough to keep 4th Div going, especially if they take Brothers...

Prodigy, sounds like a typical grade club, and they cant get their house in order! But again well done on two teams in colts, its a great achievement, and BOBs are now starting to see the players flow through the grades from having colts teams for the past 5 years! We are clubs having their...

With all this talk of paying players, how do your clubs attract players? Bobs are both lucky and unlucky that they are attached to the school. That means that we do have a supply of players who come from the school, but it also gives the perception that people who didnt go to the school arent...

I Really hope this club can be saved. We need a strong game in the West, cant left AFL get a foothold! Any news on numbers for the EMU's for 2012?

Hi All! This is my first post and it was this topic that got me to sign up! I cant wait for the season to start, and it will be interesting to see how a few clubs seasons turn out! In first Div: *Its going to be interesting to see how Hunters Hill go in their first season back in the top...
