[5yearplan]

The Difference has done it again..... signed today official apparently, Rawlinson from Syd Uni Back to Easts.

Here's where I reckon everyone ends up. http://i65.tinypic.com/2hfjrra.png

Based on that, platinum is 5 div 1, 2 div 2 and platinum reserves is 4 div 3 and 3 div 4.

Where as div 1 is 5 div 2 and 3 div 3.

Surely be more cricket scores versing div 1/2 sides than div 2/3 sides.

Yeah maybe, although there are some pretty average former div 1 sides in platinum and some decent old div 2 sides in the new div 1.

Reckon St George's 3's should go to div 1 too. Based on last year's efforts they'd make that transition pretty well.

Manly locked in a well credentialed coach as well, hopefully they treat this one a bit better.

Yup. But from my understanding platinum is only for those clubs. If you have a prems you can't also have a platinum.

Reckon St George's 3's should go to div 1 too. Based on last year's efforts they'd make that transition pretty well.

We would get flogged playing div 2 sides. We might be able to go close against the bottom few former div 3 sides but would get towled by your 3rds and any former div 2 side. In 2016 we didn't get close to bombers, camden or mac uni who did well in div 3 last year.

It's basically a return to SFLand SFA days but with fancy names.

Its been quite for a week so I want to throughout a line and so what news we can share

1. UNSW are doing some exceptional recruiting - how are they getting these guns to the club $
2. Eagles have recruited well from other teams - will that piss of the local players from last year? Are any of their older guys retiring?
3. Is it true the wheels have fallen off Wests and St George
4. Always the unknown will UTS have a 50% turnover again
5. Penno are always quite - any upates from that black hole
6. Manly - great new coach will they improve on last year
7. Lots of talk about Camden but no transfers to them at this stage, but a few to Campbelltown?
8. What about some plutonium updates - has the new strucutre supported recruiting for Penrith, Power, Mac Unit etc or been a negative?

[Norris Lurker]

Penno play their cards close to their chest at this time of year. So do North Shore. But they'll both be up there at the business end of the year.

[Mac warrior]

How many players in the lower grade of north shore want to travel to blacktown to train and play???

Ha ..... that looks like a post to North Shore players to come to Mac Uni.

That's a strange arrangement. Must have something to do with the church.

Most clubs have but just one song, PK. Hillsong has thousands. Though their subs are considerably higher.

Probably the fourth time you've ragged on the church. Got some issues?

You keeping a tally? Bless you.
