@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

@Kiwiwomble rego fees not just a problem away little clubs like mine. Mosman are 6 Grades + Colts in first division
@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

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

Is he an accountant?

@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

Muscle stiffness starting to kick in.
Worth it, but fuck me the ref had no idea about scrums. We fucked them up twice inside their own 22 and he refused to give us advantage both times.

@NTA get the w?
another clean sweep against the students, mrs womble and i were away but was checking sorting teams sheets whilst hiking a small mountain on friday....and then checking scores whilst hiking another on Sat

Seconds got up - big win 32-7 thanks in part to starting a couple of First Graders. Also our ex-Shute Shield guy who was a Renegades player before he went to Premier Rugby. Seriously good player and sizeable second row. We have him part-time as there is a scheme to dual-register Premier lowest Grade with Subbies Lowest Grade.
First Grade we had a rotating front row - me and the koro are over 40 mind, with his son and our captain moving through every position. Lost 33-36. Two of our newer Fijians were on a breakaway last play of the game but the pass was forward and that was time. If that ball was legal, we win.

@Kiwiwomble Probably not enough red.

He's talking pros, but so applicable to even community rugby
@NTA yeah, its been interesting for us, so many guys are playing down a grade and for some down 3 grade too what they did last year. Seeing how some have taken that compared to others...its been a very conscious effort to bring them along...convince them dominating a lower grade is good for the club and being part of a club doing well is a lot of fun

meat looks good but maybe a little gravy? even butter the roll?
our 1st grade coped a wake up call (loss), 2's and 3's were pretty comfortable wins....and then their first grade came out storming....gutted

Range of sauces available. Don't need butter when it's that good! I had one post-game* and it was Dwayne's best yet.
*We only put on a small brisket, as the visiting side are noted tight-arses when it comes to buying food. The fact that there was still some left is a crime. When they came back to the pub the food we put on evaporated.

Anyway, fuck 'em
Won First Grade 43-5 despite having a throw-together team
Lost Second Grade 61-12Their best players are probably in 2s but don't train apparently, so good on them for having principles and selecting guys who train. The guys looking to win a trophy in 2s probably don't give a fuck.
One of them won't be there to see it. lifted our 47yo hooker at a ruck. Ball was long gone. Big ban coming up

Broken wrist trying to stop his head hitting the turf first. Surgery this week. Probably never playing again.

i have a new pet peve
refs who have their priorities all messed up, the guy we had picked us up on a couple of not straight line outs (neither of which was contested)...but didnt pick up any of the high shots the other team put in...proper had to take our player off for assessment, clothesline jobs...right in front of him....was bloody criminal
