Shute Shield 2017

[Stands]

There were a number of Tahs players playing for Uni today - is the gap between Soup and Shute that big?

Didn't look like it

Uni players are soft. Flat track bullies.

Cracking game between Norths and Manly today. You must be a happy man Dave?

This comp is closer than last year (which was very close) what does everyone think?

God, you can be tedious.

I'd say that's on the money. The SS is as good as it's been for a while this season.

I was out last night had so many people say they changed from watching the test match to watching the SS and stay watching the SS.

would love to know the ratings, and see it compared to last year on a graph round by round.

We watched the SS, Dave.

I recorded both as I was at McKay Oval to watch Wicks v Easts. Have to say both SS games were more enjoyable and higher quality rugby than the test. How can full time professional (highly paid) rugby players make so many dumb mistakes? The dumbest of all was Folau's quick throw in. That should have disqualified him from being player-of-the-match IMO.

Also watched Wix V Beasties. The forward battle was ferocious - both sides beat the crap out of each other. Reece Robinson was the difference IMO - boy has he got jet shoes. Very entertaining game - much more enjoyable/tribal/colourful/passionate than that stuff they play in stadiums. Onwards & upwards for the Shute Shield.

When is Warringah v Randwick meant to be played? (Postponed match from 10 June)

Certainly agree about Robinson. His pace, self-belief and ability to find gaps where none seem to exist remind me (a bit!) of Campo. Hope the Tahs continue to leave him out of their team so he can play with the Wicks!

No announcement yet as far as I know.

Easts financially hard done by this year on their home oval but showing plenty of character in keeping 4 teams on the paddock and playing on a surface no wallaby will be allowed to train on.

They have training sessions??

a paddock that is to good for them, as they are currently in the carpark

Last night Randwick and Warringah agreed that their postponed games from 10/6 would be declared draws (all 4 grades) and each club would therefore receive 2 competition points. A great outcome considering the circumstances under which the round was postponed --- well done both clubs.
