Division 3 tips.
Merrylands v Old Barker
Merrylands at home is a tough ask and with Barker being 0/2 i can see them being 0/3.
Sydney Irish V LCOI
Sydney Irish currently undefeated and LCOI 1/2. Seriously tough ask for LCOI on the plastic at Latham Park. Can't tip against LCOI on principle.
Knox v Sydney Harbour
Match of the Round.
Knox 1/2 and Sydney Harbour washed out last week after Round 1 win but I'll stick with the competition favourite.
Hawkesbury Valley v Sydney Harliquins
Both sides on a win apiece although Valley the other sufferee of last week's washout. Quins in a close one.

Div 1 Tips
Forest - Mosman. Forest played a great game last week in horrible conditions at Old Solider. Not sure Mosman will play as simple a game plan as Lindfield started with last week. Mosman were good at home last week against Waverley. As long as all players came through for Mosman, they should be winning this. I am worried about Mosmans lack of depth given the results of 2's, 3's 4's and 5's on the weekend. Mosman by 5
Waverley - Lindfield. The lower grade games might be more entertaining than the main event here. Waverley putting up some cricket scores last week in lower grades and Lindfield are always strong from 4's up. In 1's, I can see Waverley bouncing back strongly here and playing some 10 man rugby to dominate Lindfield. Game will remain close, but Waverley by 10
Colleagues - Blue Mountains. Blueys again competition favourites, Colleagues didnt play to conditions last week. If blueys travel with the same team as last week, I can see them winning this by 14+. Strong forward pack, experienced 10 running the show and strike out wide is a pretty impressive combination in Kentwell. Blueys by 15
HH - Drummoyne. MOTR. Battle of Gladesville Bridge. Should be a great day out at Boronia. New development nearing completion. HH did well to remain as close as possible to a strong Blueys. Drummoyne with some impressive new talent in their side. HH to open the account for 2024 in a close one. HH by 3

and THIS is exactly how months & months of hard work can be obliterated in one foul swoop for any clubs from Div 1 to the bottom - clubs start off well in round 1-2 after tireless recruiting/pre seasons, then a long weekend kills off all momentum and starts the death spiral..,..,

the (majority of the) current generation have a very different view of organisational commitment #feellikesuchanoldfartat46A few clearly don't have a concept of what off-season looks like

Looks like the Barker boys have taken advantage of the long weekend and are taking the weekend off. Fingers crossed it’s not a sign of the season to come.

Wow. Both grades too.
madness scheduling subbies games on weekends where the 'social' player, along with 90% of sydneysiders, are on holidays (school or 4 day weekend) :-(
takes years off the life expectancy of club committee members, coaches and managers
exactly the weekend where many a death spiral starts unfortunately

Difficult ask to change it with Easter only couple of weeks ago.
Communication is key. Perhaps could have been shifted to wet weather if enough notice was given
