You've cooked me here Pftizy.
I am a connoisseur of all rugby and will watch what I can when I can.
In saying that - Expecting a huge turnout at Boronia on Saturday for Round 1

I reckon - bit of rain around today but it should clear up. If I wasn't playing at 2PM I'd drop in for a watch.
What's up with the big divot in the middle of the pitch at Boronia tho? Was up that way on Sunday and noted the centre square is a bit rough.

Anyone have an update on Lofberg please.

It is interesting in the wider context of that division:
Oysters - don't care about 2nd Grade
Knox, Iggies - weren't flush with numbers in Round 1
Barker - have struggled for numbers beyond 2s
Beecroft, Harlequins - probably a bit shitty about it.
I predict that Div 3 will be a mess by round 7

This monsoon cant be good for the idea of playing on Saturday… how trigger happy will councils be off the back of a double la nina

Let’s hope yesterday was the worst of it and the councils look at the forecast that says sunny until Wednesday hey

Suns out at the moment. Lets hope they have their Can't be Fucked Friday and its all good.
Grounds with Cricket pitches are in trouble though.

If the Crofties and Quins had the numbers to play in Div 2 as per rumours they can only blame themselves

If you look at the results from last seasons it was a relatively safe assumption to assume their would be 2 grades for each team for the season;
- Oysters runner up 2nd grade div 4;
- Savers finished 4th 2nd grade div 4;
- Barker fielded 2 grade entire div 2;
- Iggies; fielded 3 grades for most of div 2;
- Quins fielded 3 grades for most of div 2;
- Croft fielded min 2 grades sometimes 3 in div 2;
- Knox wildcard were in div 1 but were lucky to have a colts and a 1st grade at the end of season.
First grade should be okay this year although some teams will be considerably stronger than other (reality of sport competitions).
2nd grade could be heading for trouble. I predict its unlikely savers will field an away team and if another team falls (maybe Knox) with the bye and wet weather weeks 2nd grade players in some clubs could be averaging a game every two weeks. It would also make for a weak final series with 4 of the 6 clubs progressing to the finals.
Colts will be okay, premier teams which appear fairly detached from the subbies side means the teams which are likely to struggle for 2nd grade players will be okay.

I reckon 500 around Boronia tomorrow. Will be 25 and Sunny.
No idea about how we will stack up in the lower grades, but have alot of good talent from 1's - 4's and alot of handy colts that have chosen Union over league.
Best 2 teams in the comp facing off. Looking forward to that first tin

Lindfield v Epping has been moved from Sommerville to Boronia #2. Rain must've done some damage.

Do any other Div 1's get much of a crowd?
