Maybe sign up the coach then ? Haha . Would definitely help get a few more Eastwoods players in Super Rugby if the Melbourne franchise is a example.

Does anyone know which players from Eastwood are leaving as mentioned on the ABC on the weekend? I thought Lachlan McCafferay made a good point in his post game interview how eastwood have been minor premiers for past 4 years yet have had no one new contracted at NSW. Clearly Shute Shield form...

Thanks Dave.I Really enjoy the Shute shield chatter. Would love a more informed woodie to start a Eastwood thread. 3T- a dream it appears

Sorry I know this is a manly thread but according to Eastwood rugby newsletter they could get a lot stronger. Western force players Kieran Longbottom, Sam Wykes, Lachlan McCafferay, Chris Alcock and Mick Snowden and injured Damien Fitzpatrick would certainly strengthen the side. Obviously Manly...

What does that mean for Damien? Is he off contract at end of year? Very good player but may be labelled "injury prone" now Also does that mean if someone gets ruled out with a season ending injury teams can just bring in a replacement?

Any player movements over at Eastwood?

Does everyone agree there is too many penalty goals? Surely a simple and very easy way to try and increase tries is to reduce the points for a penalty goal to 1. That way teams will be more inclined to go for a try. At moment a penalty in opposition 50 (or 60 for some kickers ) results in a...

Does anyone know when they decide on the draw/format of Shute shield for 2013. Surely not a repeat of this years debacle

Great idea. For Eastwood maybe John Grant (how did he go in league anyway) on other wing, get Leroy Houstan in there somewhere and someone told Bernard foley is a eastwood junior but I have no proof. Halfback Force bound Snowden is a colt I'm pretty sure

I don't have enough knowledge but great hypothetical....look forward to seeing the squads if people have time

Who do the 8 and 12 play for?

Would love to see people's combined Shute Shield Team of the year if anyone has time. I don't have the knowledge

Uni just wore them down in the end. Universities experience got them over in the end but a good effort by a young souths team.

Uni coming home strong

I wonder this also, it seems you play first grade for university and you get a contract. I support Eastwood and for the better part of last three years they have had the most exciting and best backline (potentially biased view but at worst top 2 or 3). Yet university players have always got in...

Eastwood have been in 1 grand final in past 7 years. Not sure it's that "healthy" if they miss the grand final, bit tough on them. But it will be a hard road for them now- norths seems to have good momentum and university were impressive on weekend

Should be a interesting Finals series. Interesting to note that Eastwood have the least amount of Super players at their disposal out of the top 4 sides and with only 4 blokes back from last years winning team they will face some tough competition despite finishing first. Manly vs Uni today...

Bring back NSW most successful coach Chris Hickey :)

Would be good to see that grand final.

I don't think we bag University just because they win- its more the fact they appear to have a professional operation in a amateur competition which gives them a great advantage over nearly every club. Dare I say if they weren't winning we would be complaining they are under performing despite...
