Yeah, Southern seem much more erm... aggressive? It's like they're playing fer sheep stations. I've raced against some Southern guys and they were definitely more aggressive than us.
A couple of the blokes at East used to do the Sandown Thursday evenings fer practice, but left it at working on attacks etc as they reckon when the sprint came on, there were some pretty desperate moves fer a $20 win.
Eastern seem more safety conscious and the grading is a bit different. D graders in Southern are probably closer to C in Eastern etc, although in the higher grades it evens out a bit more.
I don't want to sound like I'm putting schitt on anyone but from my limited experience, Eastern seem a friendlier bunch. Southern has 400+ members, Eastern has 230ish.

Last interclub was won by Southern, one before that by Eastern.
Which grade do you race?
