Sydney Subbies 2025

[Pfitzy]

Is any club having a better year than Redfield this year? 10 wins across 2 grades for 10
Bonus points. Guess we will see the true reflection on there season next week when they play Valley whose undefeated in 1s.

I know it’s harder in the higher grades with more teams etc. But impressive start by Redfield.

As usual, their fitness and cohesion is outstanding. A lot of those guys have played a lot of minutes together, and they appear to have a few back from Eastwood as well to help boost stocks.

Their 2nd Grade are mostly young blokes - many Colts age - who will come through into a good system. Again: the fitness and skill can overcome bigger bodies.

The next 2 weeks will be intersting as they host Valley and are away to Raptors.

The forecast rain probably means next week will be moved away from the College, if it goes ahead at all.

Hopefully we'll continue to see clubs building after the covid shock - like Kings who start pushing into Div 2 again - which needs a serious rebuild.

Great game between Colleagues and Waves with Colleagues grinding out the win

Anyone seen video of who it was? NSWRugby.tv not working for me for some reason

Just had a quick Look, About 15 mins into the game The Convicts player is tackled in a normal tackle about 5-10m out from the sideline. He goes to ground then rolls out of the tackle holding his knee. He ends up just over the sideline off the field whilst ref stops play. The game never restarts as the medics check out the player.
Looked like the game could have continued even if he did need an ambulance but best that caution was taken. Hope he is ok

We had a similar situation a couple of years ago - a player did just about every soft tissue in his knee on a wet day and was basically lying on the sideline for the entire 1sts game.

A lot of clubs won't move players with serious injury anymore for liability purposes - anything more severe than a sprain or a tear, we tend to call ambos and let them handle it.

Just saw it and that was also my opinion. Could easily have moved him via stretcher?

Take the point made by Here To Do above tho: sometimes it isn't worth the risk. What has society become?

You used to pop shoulders back in on the spot as well - the problem is there are risks with everything medical and while some of them are just unavoidable, there are plenty of other cases where it's no longer necessary to take them.

If a bloke's hurt, he's hurt. If you can't move him safely, don't move him at all, the same thing we say to tacklers.

We know a lot more about risk these days because we've seen what happens when they don't pay off or they go completely wrong.
