Sydney Subbies 2022

[Tah Man]

At the time Forest players were told on Thursday night it would be postponed until August 6th (this weekend) because of the rain, but then found out last week that we actually forfeited. Apparently (this part is hearsay I have no direct knowledge) *after* Forest players were told it was postponed then Colleagues said the field was open and the match could go ahead.

This is incorrect. My knowledge of the situation was that both home grounds were shut when the two sides were suppose to meet in round 8 (2nd July) therefore it was moved to the first wet weather week. Both Woollahra Oval and Melwood were open Saturday 9th July (first wet weather week). Forest were aware the whole time the game was rescheduled to 9th July, but had heaps of players away so were praying for the washout again.

Subbies insisted all games that could be played were played that week and not on August 6th (second wet weather week) as it was more than likely the second wet weather week would be needed, which has proved the case with Colleagues now having to play Blue Mountains this Saturday. Therefore Forest elected to forfeit all grades.

The update I received said Mosman vs Hunters Hill midweek at Boronia.

Yes - Just received this update. Looking forward to a Tuesday night at Boronia - If the weather is nice - you will get most of HH/Gladesville down there

 

[Eastcoast]

I don’t see this being mouthwatering, in fact I see mosman Walk over 2.0, from what I’ve seen from HH this year they rely to heavily on their no.12. Mosman by 10 under the Tuesday night lights

Mosman wont know how to get out of the Military Road traffic. HH by 10

Ok thanks. I only know what the players got told as I no involvement with running the club and I did mention it was hearsay, so thanks for the clarification.

Just wrapping my head around the context: is this in place of the postponed Blacktown v Beecroft game from 16th July?

I see Beecroft Firsts have only played 9 games this season (1 bye, 1 washout v Blacktown) while everyone else has had 10-12.

In this instance nice work Subbies. Newport will be everywhere come finals time so far better to field this fixture for Beecroft than a Blacktown 1s and Colts cricket score.

I see Breakers had challenged Lindfield to a 20 vs 20 boat race and they have accepted. Should be a giggle next Saturday.

Where do we find out who is playing who this weekend?

For division 2 it looks like:

Sydney harlequins and easts colts vs Lindfield - All grades

Beecroft vs Newport - All grades

Briars vs Hills - 2nds, colts, 3rds

 

[oldmate11]

May as well offer some predictions

Grade games seem pretty open and shut this week. Lindfield, Newport and Hills should win throughout.

Great colts fixtures however with some heavyweight clashes leading into finals time.

Easts (3rd) vs Lindfield (1st)

Both teams have showed their class throughout the year but Easts will need to step up in a big way if they want to knock off a flying Lindfield outfit. They came out of the blocks very slow against Beecroft and paid the price with 3 early tries creating too big of a gap to overcome despite doing well to fight back into the game in the 2nd half. From what I saw they’re a good side when the game is in an arm wrestle but fold quickly when momentum doesn’t go their way. Lindfield have class across the park with a dominant set piece and a win here could just about wrap up the minor premiership for them.

Beecroft (6th) vs Newport (2nd)

Don’t let Beecroft’s position on the table fool you, they have games in hand and are making an impressive charge towards finals. A good win against Easts last week solidifies themselves as contenders and have a backline with pace to burn often killing teams on the outside when playing on the front foot. Main weaknesses still lie in their scrum which will need to be fixed come finals time. Newport are always good at this level and have a side built on fitness and good structure. Both teams will think they have a shot winning this, should be a cracker.

Knox forfeiting all grades but Colts tomorrow v Waverley. High time they were relegated. Surely they can’t weasel their way out of it this year.

Are we sure they are just not protesting about COVID like they did last year? This is a stain on Kentwell. It doesnt sit well with anyone

Here he is back again, first the referees now the clubs. Sit behind your computer and complain all day- sook !

Knox and Forest are unfortunately a rabble and not up to the requirements of Div1. Will there be any action taken by subbies in the off season? Pfitzy you seem to be in the know what can we expect?

TWW.

I, probably like many others here, can live with your defence of refs. Riddle me how you can defend Knox here. They have forfeited 4th Grade most of the year. They stack their 3rd Grade for ‘back to’ or ‘old boys’ day to get a hollow victory at Lofberg. It’s laughable they have the pride to send a Colts team to Waverley to try and keep their one premiership hope alive. This isn’t a new trend from Knox. They have been shirking tough games for years. The sooner they go the better for everyone.

At the start of the year Knox must have told a few fibs to Subbies. They plainly can’t field the requisite numbers for Div 1 (and haven’t for years). Epping, for instance, were honest at the start of the year and we all know how that one ended. Not for a second do I think Epping would compete in Div 1 but they’d at least show Waverley the courtesy of showing up and stick around for a boat race.

Of recent times the two most recent clubs to be relegated from Division 1 have been St Pats (end of 2017) and then Hunters Hill (end of 2018). Neither St Pats nor Hunters Hill forfeited a full round of grade games in their relegation year. They showed up and took their medicine.

Zero sympathy for Knox - good riddance to bad company in 2023.

Completely agree - Show up and play football even if you know the outcome isnt going to be pretty.
Appreciate your view on us and Pats in our poor years - but we showed heart, re-grouped and in better spots because of it

Epping weren't horrible when we played them over the past few years. Would definitely do better than Knox and could sneak a win or 2 in Div 1. Have a good 7, 10 and 12 who carry them alot though.

@Pfitzy damn feel sorry for your team over 100 points scored against the boys congrats Epping see you next week hopefully

Cheers mate - we were very short on the day and Epping were firing nicely. We weren't about to forfeit a game given we'd driven all that way! My real concern was how many Epping backs would do hamstrings while scoring tries on a pretty heavy track.

There was a bit of doubt over whether Sommerville would be open but I think it held up pretty well. Definitely needs a light rolling to get it back to even after a bit of punishment today, and I'm sure cricket will have a whinge about it. The tyre marks on it are healing fairly well.

That’s what rugby is all about mate thinking about forfeiting but then thinking about the inconvenience it would cause big props mate.that full back from Epping was something else today scoring 41 points today in one game my golly. Good luck next week champion
