Sydney Subbies 2024

[TheBigArvo]

I understand the sentiment here but the St Pats bashing because of their performance here seems a little off base. Finishing above 3 clubs in the club championship and then getting relegated on a vague basis is still a genuine gripe regardless of results the following year.

And that's coming from a man who hates the trip to Hudson more than a trip to the denist..

As someone who dislikes Pats with a passion, I fully agree.
More thought needs to be put into a coming up with a structure that puts like sized/ability clubs against each other and not just this is the way it’s been done previously. There’s been only a few clubs over the last 10 years that have been able to successfully transition into Div 1/2.
Ill follow that with I have no clue how to make it work. Surely there is a way to make it work

Just a slight quip before they add more Silverware to the Hudson Clubhouse

Are they still playing 9 man rugby at Hudson or have the backs actually touched the ball this year

TBH I think the answer lies partly in what Subbies can influence.

At some point, alignment with schools and juniors, as well as *gasp* SRU needs to be part of the discussion.

Stand together or die alone

 

[KentwellCup>ShuteShield]

No but I guarantee Colleagues will if they do

complete drivel.

If 9 man footy is your thing, I've got an Irish club in Sydney that's right up your alley!

Div 3 Round 9 Thursday Make Up Game Preview:

Sydney Harlequins (5) at Knox (4): Finals footy up for grabs under lights on a Thursday night, a park footy fans dream. Do we see the Quinns who went toe to toe with heavyweight Harbour last week or the side that got done by Valley at home a month ago? They'll need the former to get over an in form Knox side at a ground they embrace as the worst in Subbies. Matchup to watch is Glover vs Beighton in the 12 channel, two hard hitting ball running centres, whoever wins that tussle will go a long way. Quinns will be wise to gameplan around stopping Knox #8 Filipo who has run amok since his promotion into the top grade (6 tries in 7 outings). I think the post work trip north might play a part, so I'll take Knox in a tight one. Knox by 8.

Just a reminder St Pats are on track for the Minor Premierships in 2s,3s,4s and Colts.

Arent your boys on track for the Minor Prem in 1's, 2's and 3's?

Breakers have secured 1st grade. 2s and 3s still in play but 4s and Colts look gone to St Pats.

 

[parkfootyenthusiast2]

Eastcoast are you sure it wasn’t the asbestos found that delayed it also? No doubt the weather played a part.

Gloveman when you hit 740 posts and get the Stirling Mortlock trophy name on your profile will you be retiring from the game?

That’s got to be rhetorical. The gloveman won’t retire until formidable change is made. I’m going to make Rugby great again.

Still within 7 points of Pats tho? Two wins and the right BP config and you're there.

Correctamondo. Bounce could be a bit inconsistent off a good length though..

Swing bowlers will love the ball getting scuffed.

Enough photos of the pitch. Can we get some photos of the Fence?
Back in the day there was a large portion of the thread dedicated to grounds with strong fences

Fences make rugby fields great

Fences make rugby fields great

I can be confirmed that there are 159 fence posts surrounding Tantallon Oval.

More to come..
