The Halligan cup WhatsApp answers this question - no! Look at the clubs looking for games last year v this year. Clubs have good years and bad years. Being able to maintain that level of participation is crucial - Mosman & Colleagues are the best at this. Hunters and Blueys now following...

I do wonder now though that clubs have seen how the Divisions have panned out and some of the chaos that has followed whether they would be inclined to change their mind. The Div 1 clubs won't because they've always been fine and have a nice draw - the other divisions may be open to a change...

After only a few rounds (a lot can change between now and R14) you'd say Newport or Drummoyne. They haven't had a fast start in the top grades. don't have 5s and will have some tough days in 2025 against the heavyweights. If there is one thing that can be taken from previous years, the Club...

UNSW have been on the brink of this success for 5+ years now and consistently 2nd or 3rd on the club championship. Have come up against some good opposition like Lindfield and Newport but seems as though 2025 is their time. Well done to them. Unsure how many players attend the Uni but will...

It almost seems you don’t want to play Blue Mountains in a make up game?

Mosman & Hunters Hill postponed meaning Rawson and Boronia x3 unavailable. Irish caption does say that their games are still weather dependent.

Think you are on the wrong forum. This is obviously the Board's fault! Where are the wet weather weekends. Why do we have byes for the Lions games? Doesn't appear as though any clubs have made the call yet but anticipate the dominos will fall thick and fast tomorrow.

With the long term forecast also not looking too good I think some clubs will be looking to push ahead where possible. Double points is an effective solution from a logistics/draw perspective but giving up a home game to then play for double points on an away day is tough going. With the...

I hope I'm wrong but seems like we are in for a repeat of 2024 with the weather. Forecast for his week is dire and on the back of rain last week can see Council's getting on the front foot and closing grounds. There is already a decent list of matches set down for double points later in the...

Harsh on Epping - there is no fence! The old wire fence that has been falling apart for years at Hudson Park is deserving of the negative feedback. Missed the fence chat. Good to have it back

How do they run finals in the Hunter comp and Canberra comp with 6 clubs? Had a quick look on xplorer and couldn't find what I was looking for. These are two well established comps with pretty high stakes so anticipate it has been given some thought.

In fairness Lindfield aren't the only ones that will need to manage that with another obvious example being UNSW JJC playing at St Ive's when the rest of the club was playing at South Coogee, which included Sydney Irish JJC v Hornsby. Would be reluctant to be critical of any club doing their bit...

Seems like a “welcome to 1st Grade” moment for Newport.

Well I'm confused - Petersham have named a Colts team that is scheduled to play at Melwood at 12:45pm! Forgive my double standards comment - hopefully Forest have bounced back.

I understand they were given until this week and if no luck they'd be removed. Forest haven't named a colts team on their socials I understand why Forest were given the benefit of the doubt given the strength of their colts program in recent memory but I'd say there would be a few clubs...

Fully agree and I add that at many clubs it is the same volunteers who have been going at it for years if not decades to keep their club afloat. Volunteer fatigue is a major issue even for the most rusted on club person! You can see some clubs have been able to turn over their Committee and...

Damned if you do damned if you don't. Certainly agree that things have reached the tipping point and a full scale review/restructure is needed (or at very least considered), that may even need external input or advice. Off topic but looks like Merrylands have replaced Western Raptors in JJC -...

I see the Div 6 draw on the subbies website is now looking a bit worse for wear - would it not benefit from the inclusion of Old Barker? Can only play Mosman or Colleagues 6ths in Halligan so many times in a year! I'm not doubting anything you are saying Dunning but always two sides to every...

Any update on the situation with Forest colts? not listed for Rounds 1 or 2 but have a match v Petersham this weekend according to FuseSport. They will need to draw a line in the sand somewhere.

I'm looking forward to seeing some 5th and 4th Grade lads go to work in the morning after a big ANZAC Day! Lots of dropped ball, missed tackles and ruck watching I'd imagine. Looks like most clubs are just copping it on the chin and living with the probability of some under the weather players.
