Sydney Subbies 2025

[hogieslammer]

One of the dirtiest games i've ever seen blacktown v beecroft. Blacktown had 2 reds and 3 yellows all for foul play. Punches, eye gouges, elbows, swearing at the ref, bumping the ref, late hits, refusing to leave the feild after getting sent off. The blacktown coach had to be removed from the ground. The ref threatened to call the game on multiple occasions but ultimately allowed it to play out. The club has already had multiple reds this season. I expect there will be punishments handed down as a result from this game and a long meeting with subbies.

Have just finished watching this game. Some really disturbing actions from the Blacktown players and crowd. I think it may be due to the unfortunate rise of that horrible run it straight game that is becoming popular, and some of the league influence in the area. Had to feel bad for Blacktown captain at times, no matter how many times he had to go back and tell his guys to be better disciplined, he couldn’t keep them in line. I hope subbies does enough to keep those players out of the game, but a lot of the onus should be on Blacktown as a club to better select and control their players/coaches

16 from Blacktown had plenty of grub behaviour.

If the reports about the coach's behaviour is correct, how can we expect better from the players?

Beecroft on tilt as well? Youd think playing against 13 for the majority of the game would lead to more than just 50 points.

What was interesting and laughable is a Blacktown player threw a punch which hit his own team mate (was definitely aimed at the Beecroft player). Ref speaks to player and, i assume cautions him and then the game resumes.

If someone throws a punch does it matter if it connects. If you punch your own team mate (intentional or not) can you be sent off

I'm not having a go at the ref who was thrown a hospital pass having to ref this game and I have nothing but sympathy for him. I'm just curious what the rules are, i have never seen this.

I don’t blame him as He had to get safely back to his car after the game. I thought this type of pure thuggery was a thing of 20 years ago. I suspect subbies have no choice here.

I think if referred to the judiciary, it’s likely to be punished. No one throws a punch intending to hit their own player, and having seen the video it’s clear he was intending to throw a punch at the becroft player who’d successfully rucked him

I’m hearing Briars have a lot of their players back this week. Will still be very hard to beat uni at home on ladies day, but will be a close one I think.

Uni going well but maybe a wake up call is on the cards.

Briars all over uni from the tape, they are on the improve. Briars have some games in hand, they could get back into contention.

Petersham with a nice win over Irish, looks like top spot in Div two will come down to double points at David Phillips in a few weeks.

What did UNSW do to hurt you?
