The reason for the change was that we would be unable to field a 1st Grade side because of 7 unavailabilities. So it is impossible for us to play Saturday. I actually did state my concerns at the begining of the season and was assured that it could be worked out! That is why this has been going round and round for 6 weeks. As far as a precedent being set, it already has as Dapto and Wollongong would know. Also yes the IDRLF By - Laws state that if a side has 3 or more players on representative duties that their game's can be deferred.

No it definately is not Port's fault the guys are away! But Hello a little compassion to a fellow Club, as Corrimal has always shown would be good. The shoe was on the other foot not to long ago and Corrimal went out of their way to accomodate Port, all we ask is to be treated with the same respect.
