    Shute Shield 2011

    Seems Gordon has a habit of letting the opposition get a very big chance of a win in the last 10-20 minutes. eg vs Warringah, vs Norths and now vs Parramatta

    Shute Shield 2011

    Gordon vs Parramatta will be the week after, not sure what to think of that. I guess I'm happy to see Parramatta get some TV time.

    Shute Shield 2011

    saw a nice try from a charge down near the try line from Gordon, should see it replayed on tv next week. Now just going back a week I heard that the derby at Manly last week pulled in a crowd of around 5,000? Does anyone who went to the game agree with this?

    Great the full draw is now available on the NSW Rugby website. Don't know how long it has been up for, so sorry if this is late news.

    Rugby article in the Economist

    Very interesting! Great find, I kept on hearing that Rugby was one of America's fastest growing sports without hearing the specific numbers. So it's great to see.

    6 Nations 2011

    Really wanting Italy to put in consistent solid performances in this tournament, would be great to see them keep off the bottom of the ladder. When they didn't finish last a few years back, managed to get 4th and scored a win against Wales it resulted in a lot more interest in the game in...

    Shute Shield TV Rights

    That is a very large figure. MAYBE it would be worthwhile to produce the show themselves and give it to ONE HD. It's hard to say how much money goes into producing a show. Especially a show worthy of ONE HD production values.

    Shute Shield TV Rights

    hmmm I wonder at how much expense? It's ashame and a bit of a suprise that they are paying the ABC but it's a positive thing to have TV coverage. It's great to know that ONE would support covering the rugby comp, if they did there's a fair chance they would get a little bit of airtime on Sports...

    Shute Shield 2011

    Yes, very dissapointing. Although so was the advertised match. Uni vs Randwick II, nothing wrong with the talent on display.. just didn't want to see the same thing. I'm sure the crowd would been bigger if it was a fresh match.

    I guess that was before ABC 24 replaced ABC HD. National coverage back then.

    Shute Shield TV Rights

    Yeah you are right, there's a certain class too it by getting rid of all the frills and over-hype and just doing it right. I don't know, I just think this competition is a bit of a diamond in the rough with a lot of potential for expansion, if it ever were to become Australia's national comp...

    Shute Shield TV Rights

    Does anybody have info on the Shute Shield's TV rights? The length of the term etc. I mean I still really enjoy ABC's coverage, but it couldn't hurt to take it up a notch. Up the production values a bit, sell cheaply (or free) to ONE HD or possibly this new all sports channel that is rumored? It...

    Sydney Rugby Clubs Who should I play for?

    Randwick and Eastern Suburbs of course come to mind first, they are the major clubs which are closest to you. But there are plenty more options out there especially since you will be living in a strong rugby area.

    Shute Shield 2011

    Really looking forward to this upcoming season. Would be nice if Gordon improve from last year though it would seem unlikely considering the rumoured changes. Anyway, just keen to see some exciting Sydney grade rugby again and see if Parramatta and Penrith can get some success to end of all of...
