Yeah used to love watching all three games.
By memory and could be wrong the first game at Belmore was at about 12.15
We were always very competitive.
Yep, 23’s close to midday, reggie’s about 1.30 then firsts with little gap between games. Grab a copy of Big League walking into Belmore then a Four N’ Twenty as the red rattlers rolled by. Those were the days…

Didn't the wheels fall off last year, we were top of the table in round 19 and managed to miss the semi's
All to do with FG injuries and Topine.
Regardless of who's right or wrong, it was very noticeable our reserve grade side always dropped a few gears when Topine wasn't playing.

They are red hot nobodies at the moment. Got smashed in their last trial. Proof will be in the pudding.

If Taaffe ends up being dropped at some stage this year I'd say its highly likely he takes the fullback jumper in cup and papa will drop back to Flegg again, people need to remember he is only 19.
Still think Taaffe should be a halfback. Hopefully he ends up there.

Who would know what friction that debacle caused. Whatever the reason, it was a drastic form slump when it counted most.

Could be wrong but i thought the main issue with our reggies team was that alot if the players were sucked up into first grade, then dropped back, causing instability

True, but that's the nature of reggies to a degree. The reserve grade coach won't know exactly what players he has to work with until the first grade coach selects his team

Yep. U/23s only played 30-minute halves. Reserve Grade 35-minute halves and of course 40-minute halves for first grade.

You have a very good memory I definitely didn’t remember those details.

Remember the good old days of going to the footy and being able to see 3 grades?
It was a joy to watch 3 grades played on the same day, allowed us to witness the great young talents play in the under 23's, then a select few would make the reserve's bench, again a select few would make the 1st grade bench,
I'll never forget the day Mal Creevey GRHS played and scored and set up tries in all 3 grade.
The almighty dollar has ruined it >:(

This is a red hot reggies line-up. There isn't that much difference between this and the first grade squad IMO. The questions is, how close would they get to the FG team in a serious 80 minute hit out? I think the FG team could carve them up on the edges, but the reggies probably have a bit more flair in the halves and are maybe a bit quicker. First grade squad by 4-8 points imo.

I agree, its a red hot Reggie's team.

But if they had an actual full blown 80minute game against the NRL squad,
Reggie's lose by fuck knows how much.

There is a huge difference between Reggie's and nrl.
Like huge.
