Not always about the coin, perhaps he likes being home with his family and not having the extra responsibility of playing at the first grade level week in week out.
source?Mounties will move to the NSW Cup in 2012. They recently signed an agreement with the Canberra Raiders, who will supply about 8 players each week.
Dont know if they will continue in Bundy but with their best players in the State Cup side, the number of half decent Bundy teams could fall to 3.
source?
Might fall through,similar with cabra n cronulla
Cabra to seal the minor premiership with a win at home. Two Blues by 30.
most Likely face The Entrance in the Final.. But prefer a Local Derby GF with ''Mounties''...
Are they the same Belrose players who couldn't make the Jim Beam Cup semi's, when in their prime, 5 years ago?Yesterday was the first week of finals. The main game, as expected, was a great game with Mounties holding out the Entrance 20-18. Mounties have a stack of players out injured but they keep coming up with suitable replacements.
The early game was between 2 average teams. Wenty and Windsor both have only 1 win out 9 against the big 3. Windsor just ground Wenty into submission 24-6. Wenty's cause was not helped by injuries that meant that 2 hookers played in the 6 and 7 jerseys. Windsor have a few experienced forwards but they should be no match for The Entrance.
2 of the 3 teams that missed the finals had F/A of negative 450. The NSWRL might think the Bulldogs had a great season but 18 losses with 14 in succession is not what this comp needs.
Mounties are heading to the State Cup and I heard a rumour that the Entrance might head to the Newcastle comp because they are worried that there will be no one to play against in Bundy.
The NSWRL should attempt to merge the Bundy with the Manly A grade. I saw the 4 v 5 semi at Manly today and it was a better standard than the Wenty/Windsor semi.
4th placed Belrose had players like Jason Wells, Jim Curtis, Steve Carew, Dave Marando, Tim Gee, James Mortimer, Clint Low, Steve Matthews, Shannon Cameron and Pete Delaivuna.
5th placed Narrabeen included Charlie Farah, Brett Finn, Suli Koriobuleka, Chris Smith, Dean Vicelich, George Azzi and Dane Gilmore.
Belrose are coached by Keiran Dempsey while Narrabeen are coached by Gary Pethybridge and Scott Pethybridge.
Jason Wells kicked a field goal 10 seconds from full time to secure a 19-18 win. The radio commentator said it was the best A Grade game he had seen for many years.
I think the Bulls had won one match before they pulled out. So combined they still would have got nowhere near the semi'sJust a quick question for arguments sake, if you combined the Sydney Bulls and St Johns Eagles points, would they have made the top 5? Just interested to see how the Bulls withdrawing early on has affected those player's chances of finals football.
Cabra 28-20Any news on the winner of this year's Metro Cup?
Any news on the 2012 teams?,whos in ,whos out.
I read today that Auburn Warriors have expressed interest in entering the Bundy Red Cup next year after winning the Sydney Combined A-Grade competition for the second successive season.
Auburn are considering playing out of Lidcombe Oval and have held talks with Auburn council.
Personally I think this is good news. The immediate area is traditionally a strong rugby league area and I think Auburn will potentially challenge the BRC heavyweights and easily compete with the weaker clubs. Apparently they were undefeated this season and they have also fielded quality players in the past such as Matt Utai, Andrew Emelio and a bunch of others whilst participating in the Parra comp years ago.
