Warringah played Norths
Souths played Randwick

from Randwicks web site, they beat souths

Wests beat Easts 4 tries to 3.. big improvement already from last year

Manly - Eastwood 5 tries each. No conversions as there were no goal posts at Sommerville Park.

Why didn't Eastwood use TG Millner? There are three fields there...

I hear Dan Thomas spent pre season with West Harbour but has now left to play for Uni. Any truth to that rumour?

Apparently the top ovals were pretty muddy from the rain and the ground keeper wanted to save the bottom oval. Trial against uni this week is meant to be on main oval as long as we dont get much rain

That is correct.

 

[latrell247]

why was that?

Pretorius (Yes the one playing for the Waratahs) to Gordon. Finally some positive news for the team.

 

[I like to watch]

Great to have him aligned with the club, but do you expect him to actually play any games?

Highly unlikey, he'll get named every week for the tahs.

Fair question, hypothetically if the Waratahs didnt make the finals, their final match would be on July 14th, the week that round 12 of the shute shield concludes which means he could play 4-5 rounds for Gordon of the regular comp obviously more if Gordon actually made the finals.​

​

Does anyone see this any different? I'm a little confused why there is a Week 15 A and Week 15 B in the Shute comp. Thats why I said 4-5.​

 

[Dave Beat]

When will the comp start, this delay is rediculous - we've had 4 rounds of NRL and the first round is 3 weekends away.

Starts the week after Easter!!

Penrith played Manly yesterday. No idea about 4ths but in 3rds they were competitive for large portions of the game. Similar story in 2nds. Manly won both by about 5 tries. I left 1sts at half time with Manly again leading comfortably.

Parra played Wests yesterday. Parra won all 4 grades.......

 

[Tahboy]

How did Parra go in colts?

Tight games at Latham Park yesterday with Easts getting home over Randwick in ones & 2s by one or two tries.
3s and 4s was pretty even.
Easts have some huge players. Randwicks new centres will need time to gel.
One easts guy got knocked out cold in 2s, stretchered off, neck brace and all. Anyone have some news there? Hope he's ok. Total accident.
