2013 Bundy Cup

[slickrabbit]

I hear Auburn are struggling for numbers. Does anyone know any players that are on their roster?

rumour has it some players didn't get paid in 2012, so I guess that rep is hurting them now...

I've heard the auburn coaching staff are still trying to drag some players from st johns with them. But from reports the coaching staff have problems with relating to players as some were a bit disgruntled with there style last season at st johns and the previous season with the Bulls/St johns hence not many backing up the next year.

What changes did the players want. The tactics seemed fairly good when they won the first 9 games including 40 points before half time at Windsor.

there was talk at the end of last season that Auburn would get Khalid Deeb and Walter Imo for 2013.

The tactics were mainly coming from players like Damien Moysten and Arthur little. Alot of the play was structured from them as the coaching staff did not contribute much input other than fitness

Being coached by him i haveto say . Darren maroon is a good coach , really drills the simply facets off the game Into his players . Once the fundamentals are in place he allows them to play there own natural game , very effective to get the most out of his players . Everyone knows there role . But I do agree without his old heads like the little"s and Damien moysten his teams would and do struggle for direction ,his assistant coach (can't remember his name ) is one of the most arrogant coaches /trainers I have ever played under . Playing for St. John's last year I know the only reason those boys don't want to jump over to auburn is because of him.

Deeb played with Auburn years ago and Imo has played with them in 7's & 9's comps.

North West Wolves will finalise a 35 man squad in February for 2 trials against Bundy clubs - one in Sydney and one in Melbourne.

Windsor have lost Craig Trindall, who will coach Colyton in the Penrith A Grade.

The question is why are auburn struggling for numbers ? What happened to their last years roster (other than not getting paid ) they had strong numbers from Bundy down to a grade .

That situation deteriorated during the season. The A grade won the first 4 games in the ICCC and then a few weeks later they had withdrawn.

To make up the numbers in Bundy in the final game of the season they had Frank Betti, Addison Demetriou and Junior Langi, all 3 being occasional Sydney Shield players.

How many teams are confirmed starters for the Bundy Cup next year??

Confirmation would require a statement from the NSWRL and while they put out an official draw for the NSW Cup in November they usually put out the Bundy draw a week before the comp starts.

It looks like it will be 11 or 12 being 9 from this year (St Johns out) plus Asquith, Western Suburbs and North West Wolves (Melbourne).

There was a recent article in the WA press in response to the NRL forward plan, stating that the West Coast Pirates could seek an english super league franchise as well as re enter the Bundy Cup, but this probably just posturing.

OK cheers.

Asquith should be fairly strong if they retain most of their players. I know former Bulldogs and Manly half Aaron Groom was playing for them over the past few years. Mark Meredith too

They have lost more players from there GF winning squad from last year. Apparently there were 4 or 5 of this years squad not happy with a few things (mainly money) and have left the club.
They have also pick up Dylan Montgomery from Valley United (Manly A Grade). He was a Manly lower grade player, and has been at Valley for a few years. Plays prop, is built like a small apartment block and goes all day. Trying to tackle him is like hitting a pile of bricks...however, chop his legs out and he does not like it one bit! Good bloke though and should help Asquith out as Mark Meredith was no where near the player he has been in recent years. Most of the year he came off the becnch this year and barely made an impact

I heard a whisper that guildford are in....can anyone confirm this?

 

[parra_jesus]

I was asked to play for guildford sydney shield team last year on the promise of a Bundy team this year . They were very confident of entry. But there has been no talk of it since the end of last year . Surprisingly, they do have the funds with the backing of a strong leagues club to help them
Out financially .

Earlier post - Guildford advertised in November for players for Sydney Shield again in 2013, no Bundy unless a sudden change in plans.
