Shute Shield 2015

I wish Manly vs Eastwood was the televised game this weekend. Should be a cracker

Come down better live

Come down better live

I would if I lived in Sydney!

Nice photo Dave,you did well to crop out the dirty big cricket pitch in the middle of the oval!

It used to be a real mud-heap, back in the good old, bad old, days. I remember playing there for my school (Fort Street) against Manly High, ankle deep in mud.

The local wisdom was that it was worst when the tide was in!

Yeah I remember some shocking ovals many years ago, gee either we don't get the rain we use to or drainage is a heap better. I remember chatswood oval being ankle deep all over at a guess 25 years ago

One of the good guys of Sydney Rugby will make his 200th for the Highlanders this weekend at Chatswood. Well done Terry.

Chatswood Oval has had several attempts to fix the drainage over the years.

Beautiful day at Nepean park, how good are those emu burgers!

 

[Pass it to Dunning!]

People were probably right to gripe about 7Two not playing Manly v Eastwood, but that West Harbour v Uni game was a good watch.

 

[Dave Beat]

Looks like the radar (to fly under) has moved from Coogee to Manly

Quite arvo with the ladies enjoying the festivities at Manly - that's all that happened today. Great work putting it all together.

I got the saucer in the photo for you coach, a good crowd was flyer under there today whilst watching the local juniors run around.

It was. Great effort by Wests, and also kudos to Tom Carter for his gracious after-match interview.


Glad I did not have to suffer through the Woodies' humiliation!

Well done, Dave. I have not seen the game, but am not all that surprised.



Could be, should be, your year.

Havent seen the game yet, watched the start and end interviews - well done getting Fryer on, he did a good job.

As expected, the Eastwood/Uni game last week really took it out of the players this week.

[Done that]

As expected, the Eastwood/Uni game last week really took it out of the players this week.

So Manly & Wests only won because Eastwood & Uni were recovering from last weeks game.Manly are undefeated & Wests have won 4 on the trot.I would have thought that suggests that they might deserve
a little more credit.

No of course not, Manly would've probably won anyway but smashed them. I think Uni are a better side than Wests regardless of their improvement.

I'll run with qwerty, woodies must have been tired, and MMM need to keep building.

 

[GunnerDownUnder]

Pirates also won 2's, great effort

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Terrible tipping round. Only 3/6 (MMM, M2B and Rats).

Tipped MMM to win but never expected a thrashing, reminiscent of the touch up the Beasties gave the Woodies last year at TG Millner.

Hopefully we will get a good game at concord next week
