[up&under]

Just heard that as of next year the ABC wont be televising any Shute Shield!!!!! Looks like more saturday arvo lawn bowls on channel 2

yeh that sux.
i heard last year that NSWRU rotate the semi's to the clubs that apply to host them???

My understanding is that clubs were allowed to submit bids to host the semi-finals.

WHAT? Do you have a source for that?

Heard it on ABC radio this morning. Sounds like its budget driven. SRU needs to figure it out. ARU may need to step in

Sorry U&U but this is a load of crap. ABC have had budget cuts everywhere. But there is still a year to run on the contract for filming of Shute Shield and it will continue for the entire 2012 season.

a production company to take all the risk and produce it themselves.

The Australian is reporting that bowls will no longer be broadcast. No news about NSW club rugby turning off on ABC. The NT rugby finals however will be gone.
Someone claimed here before that NSWRU/SRU are the ones who fund the broadcasting costs not ABC.

When I was invloved with club rugby, NSWRU paid the ABC to televise the Shute Shield.

yeh thats right. And as there are only a few semi's & so many clubs, they rotate the semi's to grounds each year. I remember playing Wests in GF's at concord which was their home ground, but we dealt with it!

Penrith over Easts 35-34 at Woollahra - anybody at the game?

Any predictions for the semi-finals? I assume that Manly will win, which means they will play Uni.


No doubt Randwick are busy scouring the Brisbane comp for some ring-ins.

Should just have the Eastwood Uni final now. Those two are so far ahead of the rest it ain't funny.

It'll be a great final.

Reckon Manly are still worth a shot, but the other three won't go remotely close.

Well they bought up a colt to play 1st grade on the weekend (Tom Connor), so look out Brisbane AND Canberra comps
