I found this on Facebook so I don't know if it is right or Not.

Round Date Home V Away Venue
1 14th February, 2009 Illawarra V Parramatta WIN Stadium, Wollongong
2 21st February, 2009 Penrith V Parramatta CUA Stadium
3 28th February, 2009 Canberra V Parramatta Seiffert Oval
4 7th March, 2009 South Sydney V Parramatta Redfern Oval
5 14th March, 2009 Parramatta V Newcastle Cabramatta Sports
6 21st March, 2009 Parramatta V Cronulla Cabramatta Sports
7 28th March, 2009 Parramatta V Balmain Cabramatta Sports
8 4th April, 2009 Parramatta V Melbourne /
South West Sydney Academy Cabramatta Sports
9 11th April, 2009 (Easter Long Weekend) Parramatta V ESJRL / Newtown Jets Cabramatta Sports
Playoff 18th April, 2009
Quarter Finals 25th April, 2009
Semi Finals 2nd May, 2009
Grand Finals 9th May, 2009

So some interesting things there.

Penrith Vs Parramatta at CUA the same day as the 2nd Trial between both NRL clubs so I would say I good days worth of League at CUA Stadium on the 21st.

I also think it will be good to get out to Redfern Oval one week before the NRL season starts to see the Eels Play the Bunnies.

Also interesting that it appears as Eastern Suburbs and Newtown have formed a joint venture in the Junior Reps, as well as Melbourne Coming on board to help out The South Western Sydney Academy.

Also it doesn't look as though we play the Bears in the regular rounds.

The Rorters have pulled the plug on all junior reps and have told their junior clubs (all 4 of them) that they need to be self sufficient. It seems that the Jets have taken this as an opportunity to increase their presence in the NSWRL. Not sure what this means to the future of Paddo, Clovelly, Bondi & St Charles however. :crazy:

MITS,
So there are 2 academies now?
Western Syd and Sth West Syd?

Yep.

Western Sydney is a JV between Parramatta and Penrith as far as I know. South Western Sydney is an NSWRL run team? I used to think it was the Bulldogs and Western Suburbs, but now Melbourne have gotten involved I am not so sure. Maybe someone with higher up league contacts can sort that one out.

South Western Sydney Acadamy is for Western Suburbs and Group 6 players who don't make the Magpies squad. They play the same opposition as Melbourne because they only have a HM's side and Melbourne only has an SG Ball side.

Might have to wait for the grand final for that match up.

Stand aside stagger!!! Here come the mighty bears!! (should I hit him or do you want the honours Girvie?)

The red and black is back baby!!! With me looking after them, they're a sure fire thing ;-)

If you be nice to me, I'll let you have a photo of me and the trophy after my boys win it. But no shirts off one o'clock, ok! ;-)
