Sydney Subbies 2019

[HeavyB]

Two truths and a lie.

1) 3rd div club seriously worried about player retention after last season that they've contacted "selected" players offering free rego. Only issue is, other players have got wind and are blowing up, only furthering the overall numbers concern.

2) Div 1 club fostering relationship with shute club because of shared sponsor. Shute club trying to get colts players to experience grade style physicality.

3) Large group of div 2 club's players ready to leave due to exiting coaching staff. Players not happy with club management.

1) could be saints.. I've heard numbers are looking very very dire unfortunately. Also hearing they are unlikely to get a start in div 3 and that Blacktown are very keen to come up and look a much stronger prospect in subbies eyes.

 

[Pfitzy]

Good that Blacktown is pushing Colts. I'd heard they were struggling to get the quantities they needed for U21 a couple of weeks back, but the catchment is there.

IMHO you really need a minimum of 25 guys, and 8 of them front rowers.

 

[Rumour Ronald]

Why fucking bother, Greg?

Because the people respond. The forum isn't just for rant and rave about rego fees and council dramas.

The gossip is juicy and so are the mangoes that I'll suck dry this afternoon

Ok I’ll play.

1. I think they are all struggling so could be all of them.

2. Dirty Reds and West Harbour

3. Epping

Number 3 is definitively incorrect.

St Pats

St Pats

Not St Pats, same coaching team as last year, strong player retention from 2018 and good numbers thus far at pre season with no hint of dissatisfaction with the club management who's been there for years.

Doubt West Harbour would be in a position to let colts play grade anywhere. They struggled to field two colts teams last year and from all reports its looking rather grim for their colts in 2019.

Do you actually ever confirm anything or just throw shit out there?

Greg Growden wannabe.

Or actually Greg Growden. Hard to tell.

3. Epping

3 is just too generic to be true. Although they're equally potentially all BS. Fairly certain Saints out B-town in 3rd div too.

 

[HeavyB]

Have a look at the definition of rumour.

I'm like an ape, I'll fling my shit all over the place and it's pretty likely to stick to one of you peasants

This forum is really going downhill.... bring back the good old days of comparing newport to the handicapped...

 

[RugbyReg]

We've had a heap of reported content from this thread which frankly I don't bother reading (the thread, not the warnings).

So a reminder as to our rules:

http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/welcome-to-g-gr-history-and-rules.7341/

Most notably:

6. Play the ball not the man / No personal abuse of forum members, players, officials and public figures. Personal comments will be deleted and you'll get a card or ban.

So here it comes.

 

[Sully]

Beat me to it Reg!

Thanks for keeping us safe, guys.

Well, the Renegades have their trials locked in for preseason, starting with the Indianna Challenge Trophy:

Yeah its behind a paywall, but basically this year we're moving our major charity day to preseason to ensure that Dukes and Renegades get a decent prep time and no external factors from the season. Also makes promoting it a bit easier.

The goal this year is $10K for Starlight Room after $6500 was raised last year in Round 7.

Any word on the grape vine of any stars turning out in subbies in 2019?

I kind of miss the old days when guys like Will Brame would come down for a final run before retirement.

Any subbies club willing to give Hayne a run? I have heard he's training with Eastwood, could be a handy 15 or 12 for a subbies club!

Considering he was a professional footballer last year, with the rules as they are now, I doubt anyone would get a dispensation for him.

Technically he should be fine as he wasn't a professional Rugby Union player in last 2 years & hadn't played NRC or Shute last year.
The only issue would be the overseas player transfer I guess as he last played rugby for Fiji?

 

[Pfitzy]

It has always been his dream to play Shute Shield.

Do you know what he has been charged with? I will be disgusted if any team let him play.
