    Shute Shield 2016

    I've heard West Harbour have bolstered their backline with former Uni player Stefano Hunt and Canterbury Bulldogs forward David Minute. Minute had his $90K contract terminated in 2015 by the Dogs for making harassing phone calls to a female coach. It's understood they are preparing him to play 12.

    Grade Report Round One vs Eastwood 1st Grade v. Eastwood By Henry Carmichael Coming off a win in the 1st round against Eastern Suburbs, the Gordon 1st grade team was keen to test themselves against last year’s premiers Eastwood. Things did not start well for the highlanders though conceding...

    R3 Gordon V Sydney Uni

    Sorry to hear about Carmichael and hope he makes a quick recovery as we need all hands on deck. To suffer a bad injury like that at training of all places makes it even worse. Were they training at Narembeen? That place seems to have a few potholes.

    Ben Lawley in for Tobias at prop. Will Shirvington in at 10 for Henry Carmichael. Shirvington provides greater attacking options IMO.

    Woodies showed what a strong club they are by outclassing us. Up to around the 65th minute we were still in the game. Then Woods turned it up a couple of notches and we couldn't go with them. Keep the faith peeps. IMO this is a better team than last years. Uni will be a good test to see where...

    I think we will be very competitive and will be nothing like last seasons early round encounter. You are right AD the set piece will be important and for that reason I'm surprised they retained Goddard at hooker. His throws last week resembled a pie-chucker and our lineout suffered as a...

    Observations from Gordon V Easts

    Some observations from yesterday's game; How on earth did we win this game when our scrum and lineout were totally inadequate? We won ugly and grinded out the victory displaying spirit and determination. Rah! Ash Goddard's lineout throws were terrible. From what I saw he hasn't done much...
