Shute Shield 2017

[the coach]

Hope 7TWO get this idea of giving all the teams some coverage out of their system soon. They're doing Eastwood (3) v West Harbour (10) next week (probably a slaughter) when Manly v Wicks and Southern v Rats are options and then the following week they're doing Easts v Gordon (from Orange, so what!) instead of the top of the table Manly v Norths who will probably both still be undefeated. Weird!

Looks like Manly's year to me!

Like a couple of weeks back when they had Manly v Parramatta on. IIRC there was a better game on that week and yesterday should have been Manly v Woods.

But it's better than nothing.

Not sure that the all-team coverage idea is all down to 7TWO?


But whatever the reason, or the impetus, for this to happen, I am glad that it does. Good for the game in one way, the alternative would mean that the lower teams would just never get into the limelight.

Better than showing the Woodies being humiliated at home, old chap!!!

It frustrates the hell out of me,as its natural to want to watch the best game each week.
Normally I despise quotas, but I actually support every team getting at least one TV game.
It's literally 4 games out of a season.
I can live with that.

Fair enough --- just hope they do Manly and Norths.

Surely they will. At the end of the day, ratings do count for a lot.

They do, but they reckon the best rating game last year was rats v parra.
How does that work?

With a very small audience, just one or two panel members either way can make a huge difference, apparently.

We had to win there eventually. We've been beaten in the last 5 minutes over the past few years up there - a couple of times 2-3 minutes after the bell.

I've been told that all club players are actually contracted to the ARU. Does anyone know if that's correct?

Last year at the Rats the club president said according to some data from the broadcaster, that rats had the highest number of TV viewer supporters.

As far as I know they are registered with the ARU, as they have to fill in the standard registration form. Whether this is what some people are calling a "contract", I don't know.

Surely most club players wouldn't have a contract in the professional sense, but just the rego form?

Coach the seasoned veterans have shared some of the secrets, but you can see the team work and chatter involved here.

You also get to see some of the structures, and lines used on the hot plate to enable speed and execution so there is limited wait time.

Every year is Manly's year, Dave. What a beautiful spot!!!

Yeah can't get the player probe on you tube the players say the same - beach and women.

Easts and Gordon in Orange is the TV game next week, we're doing Manly and Norths on the radio

A contract requires "consideration" from both sides: what do the ARU give the players? (keep it clean)
Have to be void!!
If not its likely they've breached it as they have every other agreement they've signed or come to in the last little while

 

[wamberal]

The consideration is presumably that the player gains the privilege of being officially allowed to play rugby, under the auspices of the ARU?
