    If all of Subbies in Sydney required payment up front, there would be no competition.

        @Kiwiwomble always tricky to determine if financial investment = commitment for some of these guys.

          Also worth noting: new guys to the club pay straight away. They're used to it from other sports.

          The regulars are the tough ones to get. Particularly those who cry poor but can be seen eating out on FB regularly.

            @NTA or the ones that suddenly find some cash when in the pub after the game

            we had another new guy rock up last night, he's got a hard road if he wants to play above the 4th grade just because he hasn't done the preseason...but he was all, i'll registers tomorrow and put in a gear order

              To save laundry costs we subsidised the players purchasing their own jerseys, with whatever numbers/ letters they wanted on the back.

                    Ah right playing numbers stay the same. Confused by having "whatever numbers ... they wanted"

                      @antipodean i wash my teams jerseys, modern ones are dry over night and because theyre so much lighter its only two loads in our machine at home, getting too a laundry more trouble than its worth for me

                      so more than one player can be wearing the same number? we're not allowed, they dont have to be 1-15 but they can only be one of each

                        We've never been counselled on the playing numbers/ letters on the backs of jerseys. Either refs don't know/ care or it isn't actually a stipulation in the competition. I don't know.

                          @antipodean that would be handy, its made for some rag tag collections of jerseys as some go missing and we have to replace with ones from other sets just to keep unique numbers

                            We carry what remains of the previous set for the inevitable case of new guys, people who forgot/ lost their jersey etc. Thankfully, like most amateur cubs, our basic design doesn't change.

                              @antipodean no, basic design for us is the same...but i get a bit OCD with changes in sponsor or differences between manufacturers, especially for first grade...thats on me though

                                  @NTA dont get me wrong, as mentioned above, definitely a mission getting everyone to pay, and i feel like a dick outing guys when theyre doing their warm up for a game....the judging looks from their team mates that have paid does help though

                                  we allowed guys to pay week to week a couple of years back...ultimately people just forgot until i reminded them on friday night or sat morning...so the fines master added it too the fines list each week...that helped

                                    What has two thumbs, is way too old, and will probably play most of First Grade at hooker on Saturday?

                                    I'm an idiot. Fuck long weekends and fuck military rugby being played mid-season...

                                      one of our first grade picked up a head knock in preseason and given we've got good depth this year hes decided to knock it on the head (pun intended)...is keen to still be involved so have lined him up as 2nd grade manager. He hit me up last night about getting reimbursed for washing the jerseys...$12...dude i have seen you buy rounds of $16 pints before...almost gave him $12 just to avoid working out how to get him his money

                                          @NTA probably, hes a good guy...but typical in that hes been at the club for a few years...but when i suggested checking with some of the people on the committee...he didn't know them....on sat when someone asked him for water bottles...he hadn't thought about getting any....he just rocked up and played 1s and someone else arranged the bbq that paid for things and someone else filled the water bottle he expected to be there and someone else washed his jersey each week etc

                                          he'll come right, hes just having a wake up call
