Shute Shield 2025

Called the ref a "fucking retard", probably fair.....

Depends which team you are supporting, I suppose. The game was effectively over as a contest, although the Woodies never stopped trying.

It did look good, thought I’d been transported back to the days of Brad Selby and Peter Kay putting a number on the ‘Wicks.

Also flicked back and forth to Millner. Woods were looking good till a red card with 25 to go for swearing at the ref! Uni snuck home in the end thanks to Eamon Doyle scoring the winner. Kid certainly can play. Woods 10 and 15 a handful all game.

Who got the card? They'll get a few weeks for that.

Doesn't matter which team you support. Directing that language at the referee and being silly enough to be heard warrants a red card and some time on the sidelines.
If we allow things like that, the game descends to madness.

No argument from me about the crime. But the loss of a player for the rest of the game is a bit OTT. 20 minutes, okay.

Agree that it hurt our team.... but players have to accept the consequences of their actions.

I believe it was Jhye Legg, who from memory was Aus U20 a couple of years ago. I’m guessing the ref’s microphone turned up high will confirm or otherwise when the video is used at the hearing.

Hills Shire Council has issued a tender for the construction of new playing fields at Fred Caterson Reserve.,

Looks as though things are moving ahead --

Hopefully fast enough to get play going in 2026. Going to be tight tho.

I won't hold my breath.

I won't hold my breath.

And fair enough. I'm of the opinion that Council probably has someone lined up to do the work but has to do the tender process for transparency

Having watched the Eels' CoE go up next door over the course of roughly 18 months, I reckon any part of 2026 might be stretching it. Particularly as local residents still aren't happy.

Can anyone explain what's happening in 4th grade with Hunter Wildfires?

They haven't played any games in the first 9 rounds but are scheduled to play from round 10 onwards.
