Surprising to see Camden out in straight sets in Div 5 after dropping 1 game all year.
I like St George in Prems (although they may be a year away with their young roster who are only going to get better).
The women's finals are going to plan as per season form. In Div 2, no one has been able to get within 50 points of Mac Uni all year. Div 1 sees Balmain and Easts taking each other on for a spot against Sydney Uni in the finals. It will be a very physical game. if you're watching it, look for 34 for UNSW - Courtney Gum. She is the class of the women's comp and played for Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs in the curtain raiser earlier this year.
Hopefully there is a good sprinkling of premiers across all regions of Greater Sydney - it can only be healthy for the game.
If Blacktown doesn't go up to Div 2 next year as they should have this year, questions need to be asked - regardless if they are premiers or not. Their roster is better than Div 3.
Good luck to all those still playing September footy.Leave a comment:

Moorebank 18's got beaten by Mac Uni by a point, which puts them out, so it was not a happy week for the Magpies. In saying that, they had a very good year, getting three of their teams into finals football.Leave a comment:

Pretty happy with my lot's form so far, I think a few had us pencilled in for a fast exit but we are doing ok. Randwick will be a huge test, we haven't knocked them off yet, but that's what finals is for I guess, you never know. Blacktown could have one hand on the cup already such is their dominance.
Thought Parra would've disposed of UTS in Div 1, but you can never write off the Bats this time of year. St George did exceptionally well after a strong promotion from Div 2.
Camden out in both grades. Moorebank only have 18s left I think.
UNSW gone in Prems, but pretty big holes left by Rampe and Lavery.
I reckon Manly to take the double in Prems and Div 2.Leave a comment:

Finals Fever
A very impressive performance by St George today. Buoyed by joint tipping comp winner Postie's prediction of a premiership, the Dragons came out breathing fire in a dominant opening quarter; building a lead that North Shore were unable to recover from.
An absolutely fascinating contest beckons tomorrow, with a sudden-death elimination final between Pennant Hills and UNSW-ES.
Plenty of action across the divisions as we build towards the climax of the season.
How have you found the finals so far? Who's impressed, who hasn't?
