Sydney Subbies 2025

[Odyssey_Park the 2nd]

I think when you look at results over the last few rounds you will see how well both Newport and Lindfield have gone against the top 4 sides. No real blowouts and some highly competitive games. This is good for subbies all round as an 8 team comp is prob a few teams short of the desired number.

For me it’s the fact that Newport fronted up last night, similar to Lindfield the night before to play there catch up game. Didn’t take the easy option after a long season in games that didn’t mean anything.
While Drummoyne and Colleagues have chosen not to replay/forfeit the same games.
Someone is always going to be on the bottom and not win many games that’s just the nature of the comp, but the signs are good for these clubs that they can get guys on the park right up to the end of the season and not forfeit when things get tough.

Not the ideal season for the Old Soldier this year in terms of on field results however I can’t knock the effort from the entire club. Speaking with club official, at particular points during the season the injury toll had hit 50 odd blokes and not once did they forfeit or throw the toys out of the cot just got on with the job which resulted in many lads playing 3-4 games on a Saturday.

The lads will come back firing next year, the question that needs to be asked is do you drop a Lindfield/Newport to Div 2 and end up with a 2023 type Lindfield season or 2024 Newport season? Not sure that’s the solution for Division 2.

It’s what Hunters did in 2019 and look at them know.

Well done HH for making the mid week trip & thanks for the two referees for fronting up on a Wednesday night. 2 entertaining clashes at Porters as playing under lights seemed to get both teams worked up & they were certainly willing encounters. 4ths featured some absolute bell ringing hits from the big HH Fijian boys, much to the delight & giggles of the crowd. Newport a little unlucky with a couple of late decisions that may have seen them kick a penalty on the bell to win it but it wasn't to be. 3rds another physical match with HH defence holding strong throughout most of the first half but Newport pressure eventually told and 14-0 to the good guys.

In terms of DIVs my take is it is pretty cut and dry around promotion/relegation.

Nope just a few at home. Oops.

Linfield by 12. A second grade bonus point in it.

HeavyD did Newport lose competition points for saying the ref was a dick or whatever? i guess it would have cost more than 12 pts, OUCH

Was for giving a serve to a female ref through the touchjudge.
Prob wasn’t the worst thing in the world. There was more niggle during the game that could have been better handled. But it’s subbies !!

Remember the game and was a strange one considering Newport played great footy when most wrote them off. Very strange to have a crack at the ref after a win. As Pfitzy will say no ref no game and the female ref wasn’t perfect (which ref is) but she will no doubt rise through the ranks and had a great feel for the game.

Believe if and I say if your boys want to stay up HeavyD then they deserve a 2nd chance as don’t think UNSW or Petersham would do much better than Lindfield, Drummoyne or the Breakers.

Would love to be a fly on the wall at Subbies. The latest outside of Drummoyne in recent years to be on the chopping block was Mosman and look how they’ve responded with all grades plus Colts in finals.

This year i watched from the sideline - flag in hand - as a team questioned every call the referee made, abused him to his face and showed general disrespect to the officials and opposition.

While winning comfortably.

Some people are just fuckwits
