It's good for some of those north shore kids to get out and see the world.
Div 4:
- SYDNEY HARLEQUINS v Macquarie Uni - home side are consistently inconsistent but should have too much for the Beacons.
- Blacktown v OATLEY - the visitors will be well aware that their First Grade side failed by not getting to the final last year.
- Briars v CANTERBURY - the Berries found some form against comp leaders Sydney Irish and will look to take that to to Rothwell this weekend.
Div 5:
- Dukes v MENAI - visitors to romp home
- Maccabi v RENEGADES - fuck it, we need to win a First Grade game if we're serious about finals. Pfitzy is starting in the #1 jersey - what could go wrong? (don't answer that).
- LANE COVE v Savers - the mid-table challenge is probably the game of the week. I back the home team (just), but it'll be a great contest between a young team and a slightly older team
- Convicts v MERRYLANDS - this is a tough one to call as it depends how many of Merrylands' "A" side get there. There will be a Second Grade game so that may cause the Wolves a few personnel issues.
Div 6:
- Dee Why v NORTH CRONULLA - after a close one last week, the Sea Lice will be on point for a big win
- BURRANEER v Collaroy - too far to travel for the Cougars against a team in form
- ENGADINE v Chatswood - another long trip from the north shore, and a predictable result against the 2017 finalists.
- WAKEHURST v Dundas Valley - the Vikings aren't even filling in players on their scoresheets. Not sure how much longer Subbies can tolerate that.
Bobs!!
Well, I don't mind losing. I don't even mind when the ref isn't of the greatest quality, because its a tough job.
BUT to get sling-tackled on my head and shoulder, right in front of him, and only to have a yellow card handed out to the perpetrator? That is pretty much where I quit.
From what you have described above, yes should have been a red card - specially so if your head hit the ground first.
Very unfortunate, and I hope you recover quickly; if you have recorded the game you can still send in a report, with the video evidence, and the player will get sited to appear at the judiciary; foul play/ poor actions like these need to be stamped out of the game - even more so in community rugby
"PETERSHAM v Knox- Petersham way to good in this one. Last week they had a man less for majority of the game and still managed to out play a strong Colleagues side ( in Fairness did lose some key players thanks to the Blue Card System) Petersham by 25+"
The red card was in the 2nd half say about 25 minutes with 14.
