Granted only Divs 1-4

To keep it simple I kept out the filler clubs such as convicts that were playing lower grades only in 23. There was a lot of that going on last year. I will also likely move Northern Saints into St Ives for example as well.

Another chart, potential games over the last 23 season for Div 1-4. Added total and a telling trend line. This does not account for games that were forfeited or cancelled, nor does it account for clubs that could not accommodate the full compliment of teams. I will look at adding Div 5 & 6. It...

I also have data showing the number of results, byes, forfeits, and cancelled matches across the divisions. I have 2020 - 2023 which is obviously skewed, and am currently adding 2019 via the referee appointments as I have no match results prior to 2020.

A bit cumbersome for this forum, last one and back to 2024 season. The data behind the above charts. Interesting looking at some of the clubs that have come and gone over the years.

Does not tell the full story, actual number of games would be lower.

This does not take into account where some or even a majority of teams could not field the lowest grade (i.e. Sutherland Cup 2023 is still counted).

Some high level NSW Suburban statistics since 2001

Rockdale is apparently gone for 24 with the remnant going back to Southern Districts 4th grade apparently. Sydney's most prominent population belt is straight west of Wills ground out to Liverpool. Not a single club in this area for years. Liverpool Cougars junior club was it.

Nice initiative, now just need some clubs outside the north east of Sydney.

Quinns, late, lift above horiz, land on head/neck. RC, no mitigation. Once the lift is clear above the horizontal, all comes down to landing. Only way for no card is if he lands on feet. Still penalty though.

Fair enough.

My humble opinion only. Understand why RC. Player was low for impact with 5, 12 lifted to the horizontal only for 5 to push him to ground which meant he went over horizontal due to 5. I try to take into account action from both players. The low height in real time means little angle for impact...

For me YC. Even if I deem technically RC would still look to mitigate to YC due to low height of the tackled player who appeared to land on the ball/arm with benefit of replay.

Anything special on? I note that Shute Shield regular and local lad, James Quin refereeing Kentwell as well. Been a while since he has done any Subbies games I suspect.

Hmmm. Savers post their draw for the year!

Oh dear, I have Manly Savers 2nds again. Not sure who I have upset. Strong chance for another quiet weekend :) .

And there it is, cancelled. For R1 at least Savers have 1 team in Div3. At least I won't be playing :p

So I have a R1 Div 3 2nd Grade game this weekend. Am I refereeing or watching?

Note Drummoyne & Waverley have a 5th Grade Trial on Saturday at Taplin.
