Dave - he was genuinely concerned that without assistance in some way Penrith players would rightfully get very disheartened. This was evidenced by Penrith only having 12 players on the paddock in two's for at least all the 2nd half against Uni (only arrived at 1/2 time). Not sure what...

What does the forum think of a long-time current player from Uni suggesting that Penrith players and coaches come to Uni for a couple of hours each week to train - utilising Uni's facilities, coaching and training staff?

Walked on Coogee after the game on Sat. Great. Would have loved to have got tackled on it myself. Agreed that state of the ground should be part of the tender process and I can remember back to last year when Uni played Eastwood at Uni and at least 3 players went off with knee injuries All...

Because Randwick weren't supposed to beat Manly.

It is interesting to read of a number of people slagging Uni. The only one not currently in a S15 sqad - Trist - said in his speech after playing 150 grade games that he came from a Public School - Hurlstone and started playing when he left Kiama Juniors to go to Syd Uni. He went on to say...

I agree with all you say Topo. 1. Barnes has played games more than Beale in Shute Shield It will be very interesting to see what Uni's line up is this week. I do think that Uni will probs fit Barnes into 10 this week, Burgo on the bench this week then back to 9 next week when Phipps goes to...

Can anybody advise me of who is playing where in the games next week - some sites are saying Easts and Uni on Sunday at Milner and some are saying that the game me is on Saturday at Coogee

A few more than interesting results over the W/E. Has anyone an opinion on how the top 6 will finish. Caught Eastwood vs Uni on TV and was surprised at Betham's lack of finish and Mafi not really that good - shocking mistake to allow Turners try. I haven't heard anything but can anyone tell...

My understanding is that there is a spot open for a wing/fullback with the Tahs. Players such as Mafi (Uni), Dellit (Easts) or Trist (Uni). Mafi, very talented but injury prone and only a wing. Dellit - not bad. Trist - has hit his straps lately - always in the top try scorers for the Shute...

Do you think that Burgess,Barnes and McCalman will be back for Uni? It sure will be a cracker and if Huxley, Mafi and Inman are all back as well what will be the possible backline??? The current team appears to be going gangbusters and getting the job done very professionally. I had a look...

Where is Phil Waugh ????????? Will he play again this year ???

Anybody know where I can have a small wager or two on the Shute Shield games. Could get on with Centrebet last year but can't find anywhere for this year. I do think that the Hobbits are specials today.

Anybody know what has happened to Huxley - Trist playing Fullback for Uni ??

I went along to have a look at the Rats v Uni game and liked what I saw about Uni's game. Jerry had a good game making some big hits and back to his best ball running. Hux kicked well and although a couple of small blemishes played quite soundly. Winger Trist has played really well in his last...
