I believe the Shamrocks have pulled out of their Newport clash. Will be interested in hearing about Hills vs St Pats trial results.

Today saw a bit of Raptors hosting Irish. Watching the same refs we had last week, it was similar: early high tackle penalty count, then adaptation, then fatigue.
Headed over to see Blacktown v Canterbury, and got asked in the carpark if I could ref because the appointed bloke had run into car trouble. Raced home, grabbed my gear, then refereed a fairly decent spectacle (for a trial game) that ended 27-all.
Stopped at the bottleo on the way home and am now officially rooted. Not match fit

Blacktown looked to have plenty of numbers for one grade. Including some ex-Renegades
Raptors have plenty of numbers for two grades. Including some ex-renegades!
Canterbury had good numbers as well.
Irish looked like they were missing a few today but still time some nice lines being run.
Nothing salacious, sorry.

If pats had dominated they'd probably have jumped all over this already.

Breakers hosted Manly Savers for a brief trial yesterday. Good bunch of guys but looks like they are in for a tough season as they only had 14 turn up.
All eyes now turn to the Breakers vs Forest full club trial at the Portress on the 6th of April. For a trial this one is expected to attract a fantastic crowd.

good to hear. Would be great to see player and team numbers up now we're well past covid and the delayed travel plan hurting the comp last year.Blacktown looked to have plenty of numbers for one grade. Including some ex-Renegades

Scratching my head re Manly Savers - I saw them train at my junior club one night and there were about 4 teams - a real league of nations - perhaps post covid traveller numbers are way down.
Savers from under 13s a fed from 3 local clubs so we should start seeing a decent colts ( and presumably grade) grow off the back of that in a year or 2. The structure only started a few years ago.

I know what you mean.... tho I'm not sure that Euro vacation season holds quite the same place in our hearts west of Concord

Will make Breakers Div 2 Colts premiers vs Forest Div 1 Colts Premiers trial interesting.

I think a lot of those forest boys will be moving up to grade this year.

Likewise for Newport but its a marketers dream as rarely do Div premiers come up against each other.

True. Would love to see the teams go against each other.
Subbies should look at setting up some games at the end of each season against each divs champions.

I remember years ago - 1995 I think it was... Newport or Forest ( cant remember) had qualified for the finals with 1 round to go. They rocked up to our north shore subbies club for what was a dead rubber for them, after a short bus trip absolutely blind drunk before playindg a 1st grade game.
I can confirm that a blind drunk team will lose 100 nil or therabouts to a sober one.
Should be a Mythbusters episode.
