what are peoples thoughts on Moss vale playing 3rd grade ...they clearly look like there going to run over all the other 3rd grade teams with the player personal they have.. with massive scores they have posted so far i reckon its going to be a very long season for all the other 3rd grade team ..i reckon they should be playing reserve grade are my thoughts ..good to see the eagles reserve grade still under feat good effort guys...and finally good to see football back at waminda too guys keep up the good work
Charlie, Mossy would have rathered play in reggies but were told if we only had one grade side we were told we had to play 3rd grade. From the sides I have seen I dont think it will be a walk in the park as there is some ability floating around and we havent come up against Mac Bulls or Warragamba who seem to be fairly strong.<br /><br />Disappointing end to a great days footy at Mossy yesterday with the Moss Vale v Mt Annan game called off 10-15 mins into second half when brawl broke out between players and some Mt Annan officials and supporters ran onto the field to join in a fight that was all but over. Disgusting behaviour and something needs to be done about this ugly incident. Refs and ground managers handled the situation fairly well but the issue of 3rd parties running on the field is disgraceful and needs to be sorted out by the Group Executive :fight:
Kick them both out the comp that behavior is not needed in rugby league

I saw the first 2 rounds, they were impressive. Very intense in defence.
Theres been a bit of a cleanout, which was needed. The centre Chris Faavae is a fantastic bit of recruitment, he's awesome.
Oakdale at 1-2 meeting Narellan 3-0, youre right, who wouldve thought

Can't play reserve grade unless you have a first grade side, group 6 has made that clear to everyone so the only option was to play 3rds. Bit hard also when the majority of the first graders have retired or gone to other clubs doesn't leave much quality behind. But because most of these players have played first & reserves over the years its created a belief within themselves to win games regardless of the competition. Besides the club has indicated this will be only for this year .

The Coach is the difference!!! He knows about structures rather than the old style move and bussle them approach. And having Rocky back added some spark to the forward pack. The Jets always had a fast backline but lacked the fire power up front. With Rocky, Jay and a few ex Valley/Titans boys the go forward is there and the likes of Crocker, Wilson, Baker and Faaee have got some room to move.

Big test vs Oakdale this week who certainly have the big guns on board but haven't performed as yet. The Workers are always slow out of the blocks but are there in the semi's, where it counts. Narellan at home too so should be a quality game.

First grade Lions fire to down reigning premiers

IT was a difficult night for Oakdale at the Lions den on Saturday when they went down to Mittagong 44-22 in first grade.The reigning premiers failed to fire and the Lions sunk their teeth into the weakened opponent.Oakdale struggled to get close to their line in the first half and it seemed the Lions were scoring at will.Coach Scott Borg said the preparation for the match had been much better and it showed on the field.Borg, Mark Delamont and Warwick Carter all crossed the line twice in the Lions decisive win.Borg said being at home provided some inspiration for his team and with more enthusiasm and a better attitude they played to their potential.

"Overall I was pretty happy with the game and completing our sets," he said.

While the Lions had a 15 minute lapse in the second half where they let in three quick tries, Borg said it was still a dominant performance.

"The score didn't reflect just how dominant we were," he said.

Borg said Delamont and Erin Blackshaw both played well and the Lions' next goal would be to play the full 80 minutes of football.Mittagong's next match will be against Picton at home next weekend and Borg said he hoped for another win to get some momentum going for the season.

"I hope we can get on a bit of a roll," he said.

Borg said they needed to improve on getting up in their line of defence and continue to complete their sets.

"It was a great team performance and hopefully we can continue to do well in the rest of the season," he said.

Change to draw for 3rd grade this weekend. Games that were supposed to be at Mt Annan have been moved. Word is Mt Annan game will be at Narellan and the following games at Moss Vale.

Mac Bulls v Bundanoon
Bargo v Moss Vale

We had same problem in 18's last year with the Mt annan team and supporters alike.
But as we found out group 6 would not deal with it as they said they needed video
of it. Like you have one in your pocket or can pull it out when being harrassed or abused.
Mt Annan club has serious issues with discipline and is something the group need to sort.
You'd think being first year back in seniors they would have behaved.

Something to look at appropiately.
This is a grey area, clubs that are small and having experienced the constant bagging
of our club last year about stepping up, if we were allowed to just go up to reserves
we may have still been in there. People just have to realise that some clubs will never have a 1st
grade team, in turn means no reserves so only alternative is 3rd grade.
If , they grade teams as they should, a team that wins a comp must progress to the next level
so eg 3rd grade to reserves to 1st grade. Obviously no 1st Grade, no reserves etc.
If the teams keep disappearing we will end up like the six team comps in the wests comp was.
Keep what we have and try and help out others were we can in group 6.
This is what affiliation is suppose to be about.

Bunnies bounce Bundy
Posted Image
http://www.southernhighlandnews.com.au/news/local/sport/rugby-league/bunnies-bounce-bundy/2524336.aspx


AN injury-riddled Bundanoon team stood up to the challenge of Bargo Bunnies at Oakdale but came up short on Sunday. The Bundanoon team had a lot of players out due to injury prior to the game and unfortunately lost even more during the match. The Bunnies took advantage of Bundanoon's receding numbers and were able to run away with the win 30-10.

Yet Bundanoon remain confident in their potential for the rest of season once they get their full squad back. "Despite the injuries which really affected our performance we are still going well," club president Chris Ingmire said. The standout performances of Bhyne Mannings and Paul Quigg were a small glimmer of hope for the depleted Bundanoon side playing good games in both attack and defence. The loss has given Bundanoon plenty to work on ahead of their next game, "We really need to improve on our defence and set plays; that's what really let us down," Ingmire said He also said there was a lot that they could of done better during the game. "We could of defended a lot better during the game and also we weren't as structured as we would of liked".

Spuds smash Jamberoo as tempers flare
http://www.southernhighlandnews.com.au/news/local/sport/rugby-league/spuds-smash-jamberoo-as-tempers-flare/2524338.aspx

ROBERTSON third grade have come away with a comfortable win over Jamberoo 32-8 on the weekend in a high tempered game where punches were thrown. Robertson captain Doug Tilly said he was pleased with the win. "Our defence was really good and our ball control improved a lot since last week where we dropped it a lot.

Robertson players Jesse Mauger and Mitchell Wright both had good games with Wright scoring two tries and Pat Pearce crossing the line three times.. Even with the convincing win Tilly still said there were things his team still needed to improve on. "We need to speed up the playthe ball for next game". In the second half tempers started flying along with punches as a fight broke out between the two teams. A high tackle by Jamberoo on Matthew Mauger broke the tension, when he retaliated and started throwing punches. Mauger was from the field and will face judiciary later this week. Tilly said the season was far from over and doesn't want to jump to conclusions about his team's potential yet, "I know Mossy is going good so we will just have to see how it pans out,"he said.

Home is where the heart is

Welcome return: Campbelltown Eagles fans are thrilled to be able to watch their team return to Waminda Oval. Picture: Luke Fuda


A JUBILANT trio of Campbelltown clubs that affiliated to Group 6 — Campbelltown Eagles, Campbelltown City Kangaroos and Macarthur Bulls — welcomed last week's decision to allow them back to their homeland to train and play in Campbelltown.
No longer will they have to share grounds in Camden and Wollondilly.

The three clubs regularly played at Onslow Park, Camden, during their exile from Campbelltown.

During a NSW Rugby League board meeting, the board voted to lift the "play and train" rule that prevented the three Campbelltown-based Group 6 clubs from playing and training in the Campbelltown Council area.

The clubs are eager to return to their original home grounds and are seeking approval from Campbelltown Council to do so.

Talented local players now have the option of choosing to play in two strong competitions: metropolitan and country. The Western Suburbs District Junior League teams play in the Inner City Combined Competition.

Macarthur Bulls president Matt Hughes said the Bulls were looking forward to building a "strong, community-based club" for the area's youth.

"We are pleased we can focus on building a rugby league club and establish a sense of identity to the Macarthur area," he said.

Kangaroos president Heath Attard was also delighted to have the club return to Campbelltown in front of their home crowd.

"The Kangaroos are Campbelltown's oldest and most famous sporting club," Attard said.

"We are very proud to once again represent our town and provide a strong rugby league community for young men in the area."

Campbelltown Eagles have a game scheduled to take place at Waminda Oval on Sunday against The Oaks.

A large crowd is expected, as fans are eager to witness the encounter between John Da Silva and former NRL player Mark "Piggy" Riddell.

Ref threatens to end game

Safe hands: Luke Wisbey puts his body on the line for Camden in their 28-14 win over Picton on Sunday at Kirkham Park. Picture: Sean Cunningham


CAMDEN defeated Picton 28-14 in their Group 6 rugby league first-grade game on Sunday but the real story of the game at Kirkham Park was that the victory was almost given to the Magpies when Camden were behind after only 30 minutes had been played.
The referee threatened to stop the game because of unruly behaviour from Camden fans on the sidelines.

He stopped the game and asked ground officials to warn a group of about 40 Camden fans on the sidelines to curb their abusive language.

The referee told ground officials they had five minutes to "pull the group into line" or he would stop the game.

Police were called and the first half continued without incident.

Camden started well to race to a 8-0 lead after seven minutes with tries to Glyn Bester and Sam Campbell, but Picton's Chris Young single-handedly took the lead from Camden with two tries within 10 minutes.

One of them was converted to give Picton a 10-8 lead in the 27th minute and the Magpies added a penalty conversion to take a 12-8 lead to the break.

Only a few minutes into the second half, the referee held up the game once more because of offensive behaviour from Camden fans.

He asked ground officials to intervene and warn some spectators about their abusive language.

A Rams official described the offensive behaviour from a minority of fans as "disgraceful".

He said it was the worst behaviour he had witnessed from Camden fans at the ground in 30 years.

The game restarted with Aaron Da Silva scoring a try for Camden in the corner to level the score.

Picton kicked a penalty goal in the 57th minute and that was the final time they would score.

Adam Marshall was on the end of a kick to put Camden into the lead and minutes later Luke Wisbey grounded the ball between the posts.

Bester scored his second try to seal the win with two minutes remaining.

Camden coach Mark De Ubago agreed his team secured victory the hard way.

"It was ugly but we ground it out," he said.

"It's a great win. We needed a win.

"We were playing some good footy but we can't seem to turn it on for the full 80 minutes.

"When we make mistakes we can't seem to overcome them."

De Ubago was pleased with his team's overall performance and noted a few standouts.

"Glyn Bester played well and Luke Wisbey was safe at the back."
