Shute Shield 2025

[Blazing Saddles]

I was out at Eric tweedale on the weekend, they have done a great job with the field, it stood up to the conditions extremely well

The points scorecard from the Easts vs Uni game on the weekend is interesting, the corporation appear to have breached the cap (101 points) and some interesting interpretations from Easts YET AGAIN with Harvey (3) Paterson (1) Fifita (1) . Eamonn Doyle was 5 points so hard to understand why Harvey was less ?? Anyways leave it up to the administrators and their calculators

I pointed out the Fifita issue a few weeks ago. Last year he was 11 points, after some controversy. Don't understand how he's dropped 10 points. All clubs are supposed to be using the same source for the player points this year so shouldn't be any issues
Will be interesting to see what happens with Uni. They lost the game and can't make the playoffs so losing competition points won't achieve anything.

is he the league bloke? does he have a background in Rugby?

Yes he is. I don't think he has much of a rugby background. Then again, neither did John Muggleton, or Les Kiss.

Never played or coached union apparently.
52% win rate as league coach.

Muggleton has mainly been a defence coach in union, but was head coach of Georgia in the 2011 World Cup.

Kiss had almost 20 years experience in assistant coaching etc roles before becoming head coach of London Irish in 2018.

Never played or coached union according to Wikipedia. 52% win rate as league coach.
