for any of you who read my rant thread you will know I have been protesting the running of an A Grade and 2nd Grade side at Newtown.
Well today in only our second match the A grade side had to forfeit with only 9 players turning in, and the 2nd grade played in a hard fought, exciting game to go down 48-24 (can't remember exactly). The 2nds played with one reserve and unfortunatley one of our blokes broke his hand midway through the match.
I think that the club should focus its efforts on one team as clearly the strain on resources is already taking its toll. With the broken ankle and ribs last week, a broken hand this week, we can all see the toll the season will take on the team.
Now I'm not taking any pleasure in this. I want this club to succeed and i believe it is possible, but not until we drop the charade of being bigger than we are.
Congratulations to the guys that went out there today and had a go. Im sure once we lift the fitness levels a little bit we will be able to match it with other sides and give it a good go.
