Shute Shield 2011

[lily]

Danny Green is about to start.

Yes, there will be nowhere to hide on a league field, and I don't know how Much he will enjoy being tackled in league, where (to me at least) the tackles seem to be more aggressive.

 

[Bruce Ross]

hmmm. He'll have to learn to tackle

I would have thought that the myth of Leaguies being superior tacklers had been laid to rest long ago. Or perhaps it was just the inefficient tacklers who crossed over to our code.

 

[waves]

John will obviously need to learn difference aspects of his defence but not only that the wrestle on the ground also to get more physical if he is going to compete with the likes of Mitch Brown, Matt Utai and Lote Tuquiri. Great work to be recognised.

Any reason why Vicks isn't playing for Uni this weekend?

Any reason why Vicks isn't playing for Uni this weekend?

I would imagine he would be in cotton wool for the RWC

 

[blindsider]

Anyone heard of ground closures for this weekend???
I cant imagine Coogee will be played on.
Imagine the pitch at Uni! farrrkkkkk

 

[wamberal]

Saffy?

How many seasons did Saffy play league? Two?

 

[qwerty51]

nvm about Vicks, an article confirmed he has a back strain

How many seasons did Saffy play league? Two?

Five according to Wikipedia - 2 for West Tigers and 3 for St George Illawarra.

 

[Jnor]

nvm about Vicks, an article confirmed he has a back strain

I seem to remember him havin a few back strains in the past, should we worry or am I incorrect here?

Tomorrow's TV game is now Uni v Penrith due to the rain. Isn't it ironic that the thread was talking about Penrith and their lack of TV exposure last week.

 

[blindsider]

What is also ironic, is that only a few weeks ago that the ABC and everyone was bagging Uni No.1 but now that there is a crisis it is ok to go back there!

Only because Uni own their ground, there is no chance of council shutting it.
Especially against Penrith, when they have a great chance of hammering their for and against with 9 rep players or whatever it is. I think they are the only ones playing (could be wrong there though)

edit- Norths and Souths is still on i hear

Penrith are finally on TV but dont have Levi or Niumata. They will lose easily and one muppet will say I told you so.

 

[Brum]

Can't agree more with you lily. With Sydney uni also fielding 9 super rugby players 3 of those wallabies it will be a very long day for Penrith. Hardly an even playing field! I'm afraid the result might see the Emus struggle to get a tv game for another 7 years.

Maybe the weather will save them losing 70+?

I also think the rain will help the boys from out west keep the score below 70 at least
