Next question 13 teams now in div 3 ,18 rounds so you dont play each other twice will it still be top 4 play finals ? I wonder how many 1 team clubs will go to the Bay ?

What is the difference between Cootamundra and Batemans Bay as far as distance goes ... i guess the Clyde is a big difference.

Big trip from say Coota to the bay or Yass to the bay especially if the game starts at 12 !!!!

Fair enough, probably did not make myself clear, i meant to say ... if you are driving from Canberra, where the bulk of the teams are, is Cootamundra a much shorter drive than BB is.

Make the team too far away from each other, and guys will start pulling the pin.

There are quite a few leagues around Coota that they could play in, Farrer, Central West (Young is in it),
whereas BB are way to strong ATM for the Sapphire league and the South coast League.

That is a huge road trip though from Coota to BB

The bay have lost the last 3 flags how can you say there too strong !!!! But it will be interesting to see how they go in Canberra as the 2's up here is a good strong comp. And will the bay keep all there players ??

Last three flags .... did not know that, every time i look at the BB local rag on the net, they are thumping everyone by a couple of hundred points.

They will be a bit of a loss for the sapphire league, Narooma is back to just reserves, hope they can come back to the ones again.

What happens to Harman now that the Bay have aligned to Qbn,Will players still go to the hoggs or will they play for the bay ?Interesting article in the Bay post re the move to canberra ,They are now hoping that players from other coastel clubs will sign with them so they get the opportunity to play at canberra level.They also hoping to finish mid feild in there first year,I supspect that they will do a little better than that.Anyway good luck to them.The bay communty see it as a positive that traveling teams will spend the entire weekend there.As a shop owner in Batemans Bay i dont share there enthusiasm ,but who knows.

How much of an impact for tourism depends on the weather. I know I'm itching for the new fixture to come out to see when we'll be visiting the coast. Fingers crossed for very early or late in the season. Would love for a high 20's weekend Saturday game.

Batemans Bay will be a good trip for the boys, every team will want the early or late season match against them!

Goulburn starts training around Feb from all reports, Numbers are up with an injection of youth, will be good for the long term not too sure about this year though... Any teams into training?

I would assume ADFA, ANU and Jets will be strong this year.

I think with all the travel everyone has it would be fair to say maybe the Bay should of stayed in the Sapphire league and produced a 2nd club and this would help develop a lesser league? what do you think

@ southcab, did Coota come from the Farrer league ?, i guess they would have to come up with 2 senior teams and if possible a under 18 team, considering there is a RL team, a RU team and a soccer team in Coota, it would be pretty hard work.

Do they run with 2 senior teams or just the one ?.
