Sydney Subbies 2025

Did I hear the Lindfield player that kung-fu kicked a Newport player only got a handful of games on the sidelines? Having seen the footage, I'm surprised. I guess one rule for one club and another for everyone else.

Your mail crashy is misplaced. It was Kentwell and the player apparently accepted 4 weeks rather than the 6 weeks he was facing if he contested. Late, high head shot. Not sure what, if anything happened to the Karate kid in 3s.

Apparently lindfield have complained to subbies re their president being pelted with cans as he left the clubhouse. Hearing police are now involved.

Subbies to sit on there hands and do nothing and leave it to the clubs

Even the Field Of Dreams has limits - closed! Double points with Harlequins in Round 13

Bit of a shame as it'll probably be good to go by 1PM tomorrow, but with nearly 200mm in the last 24 hours and a fair increase in traffic recently, safest to let it sleep.

Comparing Richmond weather station to Observatory Hill - 181mm vs 72mm. Olympic Park 118mm so clear the west got hit harder this week.

C'est la vie.

I foresee alot of games will be washed out this weekend, even with a sunny forecast. I hope everyone keeps it in perspective and understands this is not the fault of subbies. We can not be blaming the board as most grounds are council owned and we have little control.

Go easy on the Board?

Isn’t it great to be situated in such a prestigious suburb where you have the luxury of astroturf. If only all councils realised that need for them is far greater.

I can count the number of astroturf rugby fields in my local area. 0

All well and good until you play them on a bitterly cold, drizzly day and the rubber feels like little pieces of sandpaper...

Mosman & Hunters Hill postponed meaning Rawson and Boronia x3 unavailable.

Irish caption does say that their games are still weather dependent.

Already pulled the pin and been released from my Sydney game.
Off to Central West for a game, hopefully, in the dry.

Right down the bottom of that post there is a small Asterix saying conditions dependent. So even they aren’t 100% on playing tomorrow. But if everything else in the round is washed out, it doesn’t make sense to play this game?

I think that bit might also be a "Randwick-dependent" thing

Astroturf is utter garbage to play on, particularly where it isn't maintained and available to the public so their dogs can run around and piss buckets on it.

But, by all means, if you want a serious infection and half your skin missing, be my guest.

Basically it doesnt matter that 2 or 3 games across 6 DIVs may go ahead on astro. The rest cant and so for sanity the whole round in every grade should be a wipe. Call it now.

Here here HeavyD. We may not see eye to eye sometimes but this is something I agree with.

There's actually something unique about this weekend in the 6 team comps - this is the first week of the second cycle, so the 2nd leg of meetings.

If these are just washed out as normal, teams will play both games at home this season.

Hopefully, common sense prevails and Subbies move the 3rd leg to the team who hasn't hosted.
