Correct - the C grade was one of the worst sides I had seen play all year in both C and D grade, I feel for the boys running around in the c grade getting smacked while their D grade are out there chests out like they are world beaters! HV played us in all 4 grades on the weekend and A, B and C grade all got beaten by over 100 points - there are guys in this D grade side that would make a huge difference playing in the higher grades.

Oh wait.....

Does that then make it ok then?
I see your point though.

Our B Grade would have beaten our C Grade by at least 10 goals (if not more) at any point of that season.
Massive difference between that and if our C Grade were a 20 goal better side than the B Grade (and the B Grade sitting last).
EDIT - And what you can see from this year, no one who played in that C Grade Premiership has been capable of playing B Grade Football in a B Grade side that looks a top 3 A2R finisher. You, with your knowledge of PNU cannot honestly say it was a stacked side. What it was was a side that was misgraded and more suited to be playing C2 than C4.

Correct - a few of the D graders would make a difference playing higher up. I'm glad we got them to our club this year. Hopefully next year these players stay at the club and aim to play higher (apparently it's ok to be good and not play higher as long as you only do it in the C grade)
I'm annoyed your A grade blew it last year. Would have saved US the embarrassment of a coupe of floggings this year. Let's hope there's a different result this year and no straight sets exit so we at Hope Valley can sleep at night not having to worry about playing GG and getting our pants pulled down again.
I'll be more nervous leading up to the 2nd Semi Final than the blokes who choked in it last year will be. If that's possible?
