Anyone got a round up of the various sevens and tens tournaments that took place over the weekend? Know a lot of Subbies teams were in action.

Any truth to the rumors that a number of Dirty Reds players playing with Petersham this year??

Not sure about that but i see that Brothers winger Joel Brooks (Brother of Wests Tigers half back Luke) has signed with West Harbour. Have Brothers lost anyone else from their premiership team?

Is that the NSW subbies rep player?

No truth at all to that rumor. that is just what that is - a rumor!

Word is that many clubs across all DIvs are stunned at the lack of players at pre-season. Some junior clubs are reporting 20%+ falls in regos.

That is concerning if in fact true. I'm sure many clubs will be expecting a bigger turnout in March leading up to Round 1.

Let's hope so but if you ask around you'll find there is significant concern. One Northern suburbs 2nd Div club ran a story in their local paper talking up recent player recruitment then only two days later struggled to field a team at yesterday's Hawkesbury 10s.

Not sure you can read anything into numbers by the Hawkesbury 10s. It is still February, and that tournament is long travel for most teams.

Our club (Kings) isn't swimming with numbers, but that's standard for February. From contact with our likely players we should be OK this year.

Should be interesting to see the numbers on Friday night/ Saturday at the subbie 7's.

 

[Pfitzy]

St George[/U] - As Div 3 champions you'd think St George would be favourites this year however the rumours suggest they may have lost a few players to clubs in higher divisions. Will be challengers again.

Don't worry, they'll find a few Southern Districts cuzzies towards the business end.

I hope this becomes a regular fixture on the Subbies calendar.

I wonder if this is who heavyd is talking about in relations to the 10's?

 

[JSRF10]

First trial game is next weekend, Sydney Irish are playing Randwick 3rd and 4th grades. The start of the season is creeping up on us!

 

[Tommy Tudehope]

Can't read too much into it but all the results from the Subbies Sevens can be found here: http://rugby.net.au/competitions.asp?id=1194

St Pats defeated Balmain in the final to take home the Cup.

Hopefully a permanent and expanding feature next year with more teams.

 

[barbarian]

Yeah it looked like a good day, unfortunately I had to jet off after our first game. It lacked a sense of occasion, but the weather had a bit to do with that. Also very unimpressed by the BBQ selection- you had twelve clubs there but no option for a bacon and egg roll! Outrageous.
