Shute Shield 2014

[wamberal]

I don't get the Horwitz man love.

I have only seen him play a couple of times, on the box, and he looks like a very neat, well organised, complete five-eighth, in the old style. Sort of a Phil Hawthorne type.

 

[MACCA]

Where is the 8 from? Never seen him before.

They def need some more power, bulk and aggression in the loose forwards.

The have a few to come back from injury that might bolster things here

I think he plays too deep.
If he goes on to do anything in the game,I believe it will be more likely as a 12.

Uni usually beats the emus by 70 plus, both teams were in it at oranges - any feed back on that game.

Really? Uni don't beat ANYONE by 70+ in the first 5 weeks. They're usually very slow starters.

 

[griffith blacks]

Watched eastwood norths game. Norths will trouble few sides this year. Their 15 had a great game

 

[Intruder]

Uni were pretty scrappy but they are very fit. They have only played two trials this season which was rather odd but they will eventually get the machine rolling come mid season.

 

[Bomber Harris]

Tummy always cops heaps, and gives it to, and in some cases I think both sides enjoy the banter. He is loyal though and also leaves it on the pitch, and it is fair to say that earns him a lot of respect.

I'm sure people know when it goes to far though, don't take it there as the game is bigger than that.

Suspect TC will have a few more mates at Manly Oval this year . We love a battler....

 

[Quick Hands]

From what I hear TC off the field is nothing like the perception people have based on his aggressive on-field persona. A very very likeable guy I' told.

In regards to the Harvey stuff... Club president has dealt with the lone offender & Harvey has been spoken to by a number of the players. No one knows exactly what happened

Well clearly at least 3 people do, but if it has been dealt with appropriately then credit to Warringah management for getting onto it quickly. Personally, I am never sure just what is appropriate action in such circumstances.

 

[Backrow]

I have met TC off the field a number of times. He loves the banter but is like people said, a very likable character off the field. His after match speech antics are great.

I think The Tahs needs to appoint some bookmakers to their recruitment panel.
On Saturday West Harbour had a backline of Harvey,Sidey & 2 Tah A wingers,against a no name Rats backline.
Bookies had Rats 1.58.
No name backline tore the Pirates a new one.

 

[the coach]

La La did about 6 things (three good hits and three good runs). The rest of the time he walks around the field. Should play him in the tight five and force him to work throughout the game. I thought the Randwick back row were superior to Easts. Higher work rate and more pressure a the breakdown. Easts front row is not up to scratch in the scrums. The Randwick number 15 had a great game.

Did I read somewhere that LaLa was training as a hooker with Gen Blue?

Norths and so is Windon although the ABC commentators kept saying he was from Wests.

Doesn't surprise me, his loyalty demonstrates this.

 

[Done that]

Norths and so is Windon although the ABC commentators kept saying he was from Wests.

Windon played 5 years with Wests before he went to Norths.

A good team always beats a team of individuals......

Any sledging of the type allegedly directed at Harvey is unacceptable. The way to deal with it is to ban the offender/s if they can be identified. Unfortunately the Rats have had to deal with a few unfortunate incidents in recent years - spectators jumping into a fight (v Gordon?) a couple of years ago . As I recall the Rats management dealt with that quickly and decisively too and it is the only way

and the streaker in the derby last year, just to show the beaches are about a joke as well.

 

[Baggy Jersey]

Agreed, just as Manly had to deal with the idiot with the megaphone on the hill a few years back. Everybody has 'em unfortunately.

Can all be good so long as the boundries aren't crossed. Aren't we lucky Sir Richard Haddlee didn't have a twitter account.
