Yeah only saw that afterwards, sad, participation is down everywhere.

Oh wow, div 3 for Hornsby. I don’t know much about the central coast comp to be fair but having played a fair bit of Div 3 and more recently in the Central West, if it’s anything like CW, that’s 100 pt plus scoreline difference in standard.

What division are Hornsby coming back to?

Glad I left Sydney before Newport started having success.. Just here for a rant about how out of touch the professional game is... My new club in the Central West was visited by Chris Whittaker, Jake Gordon and some other Tahs last night mainly to do a session with the Juniors etc. The day...

Been good this year, I think we played Halligans 7 out of a possible 8 weeks or something. I was surprised when we were dropped all the way to a 1 team comp, numbers wise we always had 2 teams, even if they 2nd wasn't the best quality.I' Club is in good hands off the field, also starting to...

Fair enough, unbelievable defence. I honestly think we would have had 60%+ plus possession and probably even more in terms of territory and came away with fuck all. 16-0 score probably equally not fair to our boys, was a lot closer game than that. It was rugby rope-a-dope.

100% better team won on the night - well deserved. Savers organisation in defence was absolutely unbelievable. We did butcher a few but they were like a wall. They didn't concede a point in their semi or GF. Our boys were camped in their 22 for basically half an hour and came away with nothing...

As far as I can tell, the Meldrum GF is a ticketed yet free "alcohol free, family friendly event" at Manly Oval. Doesn't seem to be much in the way of stupid COVID rubbish which is good. I'm sure everyone will be forced to sit in that corner stand because everyone knows you can only catch...

Its the verbal more than anything. Once its clear the result is over, its the threats and invitations to the car park after the game that give you the shits. Was exactly the same when we played them earlier in the year - they had a red card that game for a dead set intentional attempted...

Very satisfying taking out the trash that is Balmain Rugby. Dead set thugs - obviously failed to check-in for weekend detention. They stacked 2's (Halligans) because they knew they couldn't win 1's - Lack of confidence probably backfired because those few blokes made a big difference when they...

Its just fuckin dumb.. surely amateur park footy is free... who honestly outside other players in other grades are going to watch these games. Why does everything have to be as difficult and inaccessible as possible with subbies. Blue card protocols that basically see anyone concussed not...

okay then, let the players make a buck out of it then too... can't have your cake and eat it. Goes a long way to solving the numbers issue as well. $15 to watch subbies rugby is absurd. You can go to an AFL match for less.

at least no crowds in subbies finals temporarily alleviates my biggest gripe with subbies - paying money to watch games where the players aren't allowed to get paid.

only thing they may do is reiterate the "turn up, play and leave" edict, unless things take another turn for the worst case numbers wise.

The other thing is the referees they give you, some of them are just kids... and I hate to say it but they do see some of this stuff happen and let it go because they’re legitimately scared to act, and I can’t say I blame them.

Not sure how teams like chatty and covies have done it so long. At least in a higher div you know there isn’t blokes just trying to hit you in the head every chance they get. Wouldn’t want to do it for multiple years put it that way. Maybe it’s the one off league influence this year.

Socially distanced of course... To be fair, wankers as they may be, both Iggies and Newport are harmless clubs that I even have a begrudging respect for. Which is more than I can say for one current div 6 club of absolute bottom feeding vermin with a penchant for committing common assaults...

Just vomited in my own mouth at the realisation div 3 will likely be a Newport Iggies GF. Real Sophie's Choice stuff there...

I get the feeling all the planning in the world won't save you there Pfitzy
