2011 Bundy Cup

[girvie]

Any news yet on teams and players for the 2011 Bundy Cup?

 

[LeagueInsider]

Not yet, they would have had to have waited for the NSW Cup draw so they could marry their draw up with it for clubs like Wenty. Reckon Mid-Jan is best bet.

 

[Captain Mulga]

Mounties have been in full training since early November and have just about completed their recruitment for 2011 bar a few spots.

I dont think any of the clubs are sitting idle waiting for the draw, most have completed 75%-90% of recruitment and are in full swing.

Likely to be 8 teams or less with a minimum of 6 possible.

If that happens you can be assured a number of teams will withdraw in 2012 and the comp will fold.

Mounties are about to release their signings for 2011 with an announcement imminent in the New Year.

It seems a 6 team comp is now likely. Penrith Brothers have announced they will return to the Penrith A-Grade competition whilst Campbelltown Eagles will play in the Group 6 competition. It is possible that they will continue at Bundy level as well as there website has a link to the 2011 BRC season draw.
Mounties, Cabra, Windsor, Wenty and the Bulls would be expected to continue their involvement whilst I'm yet to hear if The Entrance will be involved.
Leichardt Wanderers appear to be only fielding an A-grade team after originally expressing interest.

Looking more likely to be 8 teams again after the draft draw was released showing Campbelltown and a TBA team which is likely to be a second team from the Bankstown district.

The cabramatta website has Canterbury (bulldogs?) and Macarthur Rams in the 8 teams.

There are a stack of players from last years Bundy Cup comp in the Newtown team to play South Sydney in a trial this saturday:

Cabra - Daniel Cray, Francis Vaioitu, Fred Latilupe

Bulls - Trent Trotter, Francis Tuigamala

Mounties - Jamie Clark

[footy watch]

Nswrl have confirmed an 8 team comp. Teams are Wenty,cabra,mounties,windsor,entrance, sydney bulls,bankstown sports,kingsgrove colts. The bankstown sports will be the bulldogs development kids with the help of premier league players. They will be playing out of the crest bankstown. The sydney bulls are now stand alone and are hoping to be playing from erskineville. kingsgrove colts are hoping to use kogarah oval.

Thanks footywatch, great news!
The inclusion of Kingsgrove and the relocation of the Sydney Bulls to Erskineville will provide a good geographical spread of teams, with 6 districts represented (Parramatta, Canterbury, St George, South Sydney, and the Central Coast, Penrith).
The State opposition have also proposed a review of the current tax on leagues club pokie revenue. If elected this should have a significant impact upon the NSW and Bundaberg Red Cup.

Will Kingsgrove have 3-4 players from the St George NRL squad each week like Shellharbour did when they made the semis in JBC?

Mounties are playing a trial against Wests State Cup on Saturday at 2pm at Campbelltown.

Any news on the Sydney Shield comp for 2011

 

[Terry the Parra God]

Any news on the Sydney Shield comp for 2011

Rumoured that NSWRL don't want it, Parra not interested in running a top tier comp and all other comps doing their own thing. Looks like the Parra clubs are screwed for 2011

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

What is the reason given for the Sydney Bulls move away from Bankstown to Erskinville?

 

[Roland]

Is Cabra in a partnership with Newtown this Year?

There are several Cabra players playing in the Newtown NSW Cup team in the trials and this week both the Cabra Bundy side and A Grade are playing at Henson Park.

What is the reason given for the Sydney Bulls move away from Bankstown to Erskinville?

Think you will find that Bankstown Sports control the Crest and the Velodrome as well as the Handle Bar Tavern (according to their website) so they will use it as their home ground forcing the Bulls to look for a new one.

 

[Terry the Parra God]

Is Cabra in a partnership with Newtown this Year?

There are several Cabra players playing in the Newtown NSW Cup team in the trials and this week both the Cabra Bundy side and A Grade are playing at Henson Park.

Cabra have an informal agreement with Newtown as I understand and they can trade players up until June 30.
They tried to get a partnership with Cronulla a few years ago and Parramatta stopped it so I cant see them letting this one through.
