One thing I don't get is how it keeps being reported that the Foran brothers are Norths juniors because they played for Asquith. Asquith is in the Manly junior comp, therefore they're Manly juniors.
Asquith play in a combined Manly warringah/norths competiton from age 13 to A grade only because both norths and manly do not have sufficient teams in these grades to fill their own compettions. Age 12 and under play in the norths comp.
The Foran;s are classified as norths juniors because they played flegg and matthews for norths. Asquith juniors play for norths junior teams not manly's. They did not play any junior grades for manly.

How can it be a combined comp? Norths have 2 teams, Asquith & Berowra. Manly have about 12.
The comp is the MWJRLFC. They play in the Manly comp because they have nobody else to play against. They're not there because we need the numbers.
If Norths don't want to run their own comp of 10 or so teams then I don't see what right they have to reclaim players from their former area once they get to senior rep age.

So north's only have 2 teams? Are you sure about that?Â
seaeagles4life sets out the norths teams and there are a lot more than 2.
But don't let the truth spoil your post.Â

I've never seen or heard of those other clubs. I don't mind catching the odd A grade gamed & read the reports in the Daily. Don't "Penno" play in the Parra comp these days?
It'd be a pretty big comp if Norths have all those teams given that Manly has Avalon, Mona Vale, Narrabeen, Cromer, Narraweena, Curl Curl, Cove, Harbord/Valley, Belrose, Forrestville, St Augustines, Brothers and any I may have forgotten.

As i said earlier once it gets to U14s+ many teams drop off including many of those manly teams you just named. 5 or 6 years ago when i was playing U16 the manly teams were Cromer, Avalon, Belrose, Harbord and Narrabeen. Im pretty sure Penno Stags still play in the combined Norths/Manly comp if im not mistaken. In the younger ages Manly and Norths have enough teams to play in their own comps.
