Shute Shield 2013

[Prodigy]

Years ago, the Sydney Morning Herald would do a brief article on the major gains and losses of each Shute Shield club. Any clubs on this forums willing to let us know....

What? White and Alexander both played for Eastwood when they were Brumbies but no Jake White

Believe it or not out of school they both chose to play in Canberra. Ben Alexander was a Eastwood Junior though. Played a year for Norths in Colts I think as well with Tom.

He played Grade for Norths in 2008.

Eh.......... Are you disagreeing with my statement that both player chose to play in Canberra before they were Brumbies?

Because no part of that statement is false.........

Could someone connected to Gordon alert them to this:

I'll look into it -

With the 2013 Shute Shield or the 3rd Tier comp starting this week, would it raise the profile a bit more if each club had it's own thread?

• Uni 2013.
• Marlins 2013.
• 2 Blues 2013.
• Etc.

They used it for Match Previews / Reviews special effents and we can all join in the banter, and maybe raise the profile a bit more.

Great to see Lachie Turner playing for Woodies in their trial against Gordon on Saturday. Thanks Lachie for proving (again) what a great "sport" you are. I suspect he would be the only contracted super player turning out in club trials but would love to be wrong. Any others seen in action?

I don't see why any non-22 injury-free Tahs wouldn't be turning out for their clubs this weekend?

Jed Holloway and Grayson Hart turned out for Souths during the trials.

Pretty sure that much maligned Tom Carter and Tom Kingston played for the Students vs the Wicks.

You're correct Hugh and so did Michael Hodge.
Matt Schwager also played so it was a pretty good backline!

Looks like it's on its way back. Another Crazy Domains "situation"?

I'd say club management had other things on their mind... John Briggs was sacked on Saturday, one week out from the start of the season.

Correct.

 

[2bluesfan]

Briggs sacked now? Wow.

 

[Stag XV]

Briggs sacked now? Wow.

Yep, timing is interesting. A 2nd grade coach has resigned on the back of it, and Gordon will not be fielding its strongest 1st grade side this weekend with a couple of players deciding to sit the first game out.

5 Super 15 sides, a Manly 7 is starting in 3 of them not bad depth.
Hodgson at the force was he a manly 7 at one stage

Hodgson played first grade for Eastwood, and was part of a premiership winning side. He distinguished himself in a post-match interview by emitting the magic word on ABC TV.

Which lucky club has Gordon first up?

Manly at Chatswood. Well, hopefully at Chatswood.
