Cove looking to have won the pre season, must be some good sponsors over that way!

[Show Time]

Add Piva, Reich and M. Riddle who played 3 qtrs last year + a handy group of coaches coming and the foundations have been laid that's for sure.

They definitely won't finish last again, that's for sure. Mitch is a good addition if he can stay fit.

Matt Pethick was a very good junior coach, glad he's got the gig, and Gav Riddle has been around for a very long time.

Cove to make finals?

Wine Flies
Falcons
Vikings
Cockledivers

Saints? Cobras? Iron Bank?

Shoes Emus Sharks all look far of it at this stage.

Cockledivers a chance of dropping out?

Can't see the Cockledivers getting any worse considering they've picked up a few guns and from all reports have retained their best 22 from season 2024. Looking at the results, but not the teamsheet on the day, Porties were only 20-30 points off Reynella on both occasions...however, Flaggy destroyed them in Rd 11 and the first final by 90+.

Definitely going to be a competitive season and the standard should be relatively high between the top 6-7 teams.

Have Porties actually announced anyone yet? Lots of rumours going around but nothing concrete

No official announcements...it is still the silly season

[Happytowatchlocal]

Cockledivers from the bits i saw might be good in the first 18 rounds but then can be stopped in the finals. A few guns and then a drop off.

Anyone heard of a big rumored out at the Wineflies?

Only out I've heard of is Borholm, he's now coaching the B grade

[Happytowatchlocal]

I did hear the Whitbread would be playing only a handful of games, not sure if this is the rumour you are talking about?

[Happytowatchlocal]

Sounds like it. I heard the player wasn't playing at all.

I am hearing a few more on the move out of Old Noarlunga, anyone heard any news.... not 100% but from a good source Cove have signed another 6.4ft fella from the hills somewhere, apparently very athletic.

I think that's been the story for most of the off-season. They've added a couple but there's quite a few outs, confirmed and unconfirmed.

Cove have announced Roger Morris on their socials, I'm presuming this is the fella. Another very good in from the looks of it and I think it's fair to say the Cobras have won the off-season. Lot's of new talent. Haven't seen any signings for Reynella - will Agnew and Nicholls play South? Whitbread and Boreholm reported to be outs...the Wineflies may drop off a little. Happy Valley keeping their recruits off social media but have got the paperwork done for Cooper Rogers, Darrell Tucker and Nick Kraemer. Cooper Greening also back to HV from Cove.

[wenchbarwer]

Have Cove got new sponsors or something?? Fair off season!

[Happytowatchlocal]

Something must have changed, quality ins.

New coach. Good bloke

Yep, agreed. Quite a Brighton flavour on the coaching panel.

Hopefully the culture issues are a long lost thing.

[Show Time]

They have recruited well now they need to win games as the Cobras have been ordinary the last 5 years...

True. One thing about finishing last is there's only one direction to travel.
