Sydney Subbies 2025

I dont understand the Div 4-6 Grand Final set ups.

Home field Advantage for Wakehurst and Valley, although Savers have to travel to Merrylands?

I understand clubs need to nominate to host, but this seems strange,

Also - If you watch the Div 2-3 finals, you need to pay to get in? Although for 4 -6 - No payments?

It was quite conniving to beat them three times when the third game Knox forfeited…

Yeah, a tough game for the Knox old boys colts on Saturday against Beecroft. It was a real nail biter until the bell

Surely Hunters would have the space to host some divisions grand finals and it’s fairly local as well to everyone. Plus they’ve got a big shiny new club house.
They are of course busy down the road on the same day.
I really think the best option is grouping everyone together like we used to do at Mac Uni

It was a real festival atmosphere. Parking sucked tho

I'd love to host at the Field Of Dreams, but at this time of year can't count on rugbaleg to guarantee the booking!

Does Subbies still publish the end of year report on yellow/red cards per club?

What if Subbies/NSW rugby were to book these venues for finals as they’d (I hope) have bigger pull with the other associations. Then you group the lower divisions together at a ground that can cope as discussed above.

Tim then sends out an email asking for clubs to assist in running the day. Set up, canteen, bbq etc. (unless a club wants to take it all on). The profit from the day which I assume would be a decent amount if you grouped 3 divisions together. Then the clubs that assisted get a discount on their fees next year. So a club like Newport this year that’s lost a heap of money from wet weather changes could send some guys and reduce there costs in 2026.

It’s not perfect and I’m sure it would involve a lot of set up but it’s an incentive for clubs to help out on finals day.
