Apparently these are the rookie finalists; Josh Kay - - - Northern Suburbs Kelly Meafua - - - West Harbour Reece Hodge - - - Manly Will Munro - - - Randwick

Yes and no - Tank Collins is country boy - good on him for representing the grass roots that he's very proud of. Dane Marakai - he must have worked on a sheep farm in NZ some time back then. I don't think there's any political drama's with these, just gives me another team to follow. It's the...

I think the Rays best team will compete against the 4 teams that are aligned to the super teams, The Rays have a number of players that are knocking on Super rugby's door and combinations should hold us in good stead - hence my above back line. but, were i think the difference will be telling...

Seb - now we just need George. Cant wait for this weekend - we now don't have a dilemma.

Yup, But i reckon all the posters about 60 - 70 pages back not giving Manly a chance would have to agree. Allot of new players there - 5/8th, and centres, loosing captain 1/2 way through, you'd have to think the coach is doing something right in his first year to claim the minor premiership.

Nah - that's folk law - ready to rumble.

They are Manly players that are playing in the right grade though at the same time. Ed's been playing all year, Cliffy is simply a super player returning. Enables fresh reserves though which will be valuable. I'm excited.

Coach of the year - Turtle, minor premiership with a team that doesn't resemble last years, he's also blooded a few of last years colts as well. Big effort by coach and team. Rookie - Reece Hodge, whilst still colts eligible last year he had it off because of a busted ankle in 2013's GF. Played...

Yep - one more week. Some other news as well that is now out - http://www.sportal.com.au/rugby/news/palu-free-to-play-for-marlins-manly-shute-shield-sydney-university-wallabies/vk61pvo88mvb1e614o93catw9 Bring back Cliffy.

I think combinations are very important.

I wonder if Chek will now allow Palu to sit on our bench with, given he let players play last week.

Terrible first post in the Shute ;) - bull shit we love it, we lost a couple of years back to uni after the bell when Foley dropped a goal. Marlins to win. Wallabies to win.

Checked the Sun Surf & Scrums book - Only won 3 games that year as well. No reference to this - wonder where it came from?

Coach, from the book?

We can see this, and don't choose to debate it^^^^. Rugby is much the same but vica versa Yes interesting reference between the gap between Super 15 & Super rugby. I'm not sure if it is that big when you look at the Southern Districts v Sydney Uni game on the weekend. Uni had quite a few...

Yes I agree that Hill is a good centre, there are quite a few good centre's a few beaches up as well - the Rats 12 / 13 are pretty dangerous. Would have loved keeping the mantra of selecting from the local teams, plus Super players being appropriately placed.

Good to here, played hard.

Yeah trying to work out why we got stuck with Hill, when we have the form 12 in the Shute with Reece Hodge, and BJ is now at the Rams when he should be the starting 15 at the Rays. Interesting???

It goes to show you do read my posts - i have a rugby season and a fishing season - I haven't wet the line yet. ;)

Wish someone gave me this, would have been shared alot earlier. On fire;
