    Eastern suburbs supporters accused of racism against West Harbour.

    Easts chairman strenuously denied claims, noting the number of Polynesian members they have.

    It's the ultimate "I have black friends" moment.

    @NTA side note, a set of jerseys from S-Trend was less than $1200 ($47.50 each) and apparently we got our 1's kit (25 jerseys) for free because we ordered all the other kit through them

    i'm quite impressed, grip pattern on the chest, rubber around the hem and they set up an on line store for people to buy supports gear

    Round 1 down, clean sweep in the Dewer shield games, three tight games but good start!

    That's actually pretty good - I struggle to get anyone to buy supporters kit but I know Sinalli (local guy) have a capability as they supply bigger clubs than us.

    Our current edition jerseys are around the same price for the "pro" cut which is 4 way stretch. No grip panels on those but I think they're an option.

    Just got notice that the $7800 in NSW Sport Grants we applied for was not successful 😐

    Ungood. Club budgeted about $20k for this year for 2 Grades after our Colts didn't get up.

    $2500 = 2 x set of jerseys
    $2000 = 2 x RA "Participation Fee"
    $1100 = 2 x Subbies team registration
    $5400 = 2 x team insurance
    $3000 = physio
    $2000 = consumables - tape, deep heat, match balls etc
    $1500 = sundry costs.

    Got about $11k in sponsorship and we'll do another $15k-$20k in raffles but hardly ideal with a lot of those bills landing now.

    Also wanted to order more merch but can't afford it unless I organise a preorder which is a massive pain in the arse

    @NTA yeah, raffles and stuff getting you money in the long run doesnt help you pay the bills now

    im not sure on our cost too that detail as so far have avoided the committee proper, we have over 100 registered players and about 140 of the registration goes to the club so thats $15000 too get the ball running i guess

    If I got the full $150 from every player on signup I'd have about $7500 which would go a long way. Currently about a third of that.

    I think next year we bite the bullet and force payment on registration through the app.

    @NTA currently guys can register without paying? yeah, you have too, all of us coaches/managers have "sponsored" someone, see who made it to being selected for the first squad without registering and then hit them up to see if they had money issues...its all unofficial though as you have the guys that have been paid before and would take it if they could even if they dont need it...in general though its no no pay no register no play

    RugbyXplorer is configured by most senior clubs in Sydney to be $0.

    We pay by the grade for insurance, comp registration, and RA Participation Fee. Not by player.

    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.

    Just two? They get what they ask for, it hasn't been a problem yet.

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