Shute Shield 2013

Enjoyed reading that, Boyo. Thanks.

I noted the comments about Tim Davidson as well. I've never met the man but I can well imagine what an ornament to our great game he is. Everything I've ever read about the bloke or heard him say backs that up.

Common fatprop lets see the team sheets, what's your game plan this weekend

Anyone know the nominees for Rookie of the Year?

 

[Eyes and Ears]

I don't believe they have nominees for rookie as it is selected by the Tahs. The Catchpole nominees are the Top 10 list from the points given by the referees.
For rookie, I would think the following are under consideration: Lolohea, Alofa Alofa, Killingworth, Porecki and Gibbon (if he has rookie status).

 

[Zander]

Porecki, Roach, Gibbon

 

[Gibbo]

Good choice. Expecting things to improve from Chatswood next season.

So much is going on I'm trying hard to keep up.

Maybe Horwitz & or Munro from The Wicks

 

[Hugh Jarse]

There have been some big wraps for Horwitz this year.

He was taken to Argentina with the Tahs Development tour.

He must be one of the leading contenders for the Rookie of the Year.

Yes, I forgot Horwitz.

 

[Iluvmyfooty]

Is Skelton a rookie

 

[Zander]

He hasn't played much, wouldn't deserve it.

 

[Intruder]

Horwitz followed by Porecki and Alofa

I hate to break it to you, but the rest of the country is just not interested in watching Sydney club rugby. Sorry.

Not sure if you count ACT as being in the rest of the country, but the ABC's coverage on Saturday gives us the only chance to watch and try to assess the players we would otherwise not hear about. I think others around the country would likewise appreciate that opportunity if it was available. For example, I think there are some potential Super players that I will keep an eye on as they come through in Saifoloi, Ale, Munroe (Randwick lock), the Manly centres and Mac? the Woodies' centre.

 

[Done that]

It's hard to go past Lolohea,but then prop forwards don't win many awards.

Yes, we rugby tragics are interested. My wife and I live in SE Queensland now, we record the SS early on Tuesday morning; we would love to watch it live. But we, and you, are in a tiny minority.

The Camperdown juggernaught qualifies for next weeks Grand Final by a rather large margin over the Hobbits.

Hobbits were well below par due to injury and Wallaby selections.

Final score 47 - 19 to the Students.

Gee it's great to see this wonderful grassroots home of rugby in Camperdown doing so well, isn't it?


Kids all over Sydney must be rushing to join their local junior rugby teams, just for the opportunity to grow up and get thrashed by the Corporation!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

MMM may have played their Grand Final last weekend.

Looking fairly ordinary so far. Woodies scoring at will.

If they can keep this momentum going......

 

[cyclopath]

Benn Robinson putting in some nice hits in defence, although Eastwood scrum copping a bit of stick from Manly.
And then Eastwood and Robbo prove me wrong!!
