Shute Shield 2015

[Dingasden]

Can't speak for the experience of other clubs but when I went to enter the results on Monday it was pathetic. A girl from the ARU was extremely helpful in getting the teams up overnight, however there was massive bugs in it, even to her admission, and in some cases was the first time she'd seen some of them, as we were doing it. That tells me that there was simply no testing done prior to the comp starting.

And this is why the NSWRU & SJRU decided that using Rugby Link was a bad idea. It became apparent very quickly that no testing had been done for a rugby competition.

I struggle to see how 10 players from Sydney University, at least five of whom I reckon are Colts age players, have managed to beat a squad of 23 players from Penrith by 62 points to 5 in First Grade Shute Shield.

This Rugby Link system is an embarrassment in its current form.

They have just entered that in alphabetical order by the looks of it.

They have just entered that in alphabetical order by the looks of it.

you enter the teams in jersey number order, then you go back to add another player into the squad list and when you go back to the teams, it's listed any which way and all the work you just did is now all over the shop.

Strong rumours that all Shute Shield televised games this year will only be filmed at 4 venues. Woollahra, Coogee, Uni and Concord.

Thoughts?

May as well quit then.

Fuck them,they won't be counting any of my tv's as part of their audience.
If you take away lower graders and relatives,they wouldnt draw 100 people to this game.
I hope Manly put 100 on them,to stop this farce.

So do I with # 10 kicking a plenty of goals

I'd much rather a big gate than people sitting at home and watching it on the box.

 

[GunnerDownUnder]

To be fair they only have 4 games to pick from with other 3 being

Emus - Souths
Gordon - Uni
Woodies - Pirates

Yeah this is a disgrace, the quality will turn off viewers. In the past Eastwood had a mortgage of ABC games but at least you could say they were entertaining to watch.

Souths, Manly, Eastwood, Warringah imo are the standout teams with Uni and then daylight second. They must be shown.

Edit - those that can - go to the game, your club will like it

Even better go to a game Friday and Saturday on the Easter weekend

Not so good on the margins last week but still picked 5/6 winners.

Round 2 Preview
Gordon v Eastwood - Woodies will be too good and will win by >25.

Northern Suburbs v Warringah - Shoremen done gooder than I thought last week, but as Rats nearly snuck home against a fairly motivated Hobbits, they will have to be favoured to win in a close match where the Shoremen will secure a losing BP. Rats by 6. (Match of the Round)

Manly v Penrith - Marlins at home. Even with Nomad Beer and Olivers Pies available on site, the spectators will be disappointed because this match will not be competitive. MMM by a country mile.

Randwick v West Harbour - Perennial underachievers vs Current underachievers. 3 tries each but home town advantage will get the Wicks home on penalty kicks. Wicks by 8.

Southern Districts v Parramatta - Hobbits will be too strong across the park and the Mighty 2 Blues will rinse and repeat last weeks performance by dropping off intensity in the 3rd quarter. Hobbits by 15+.

Sydney University v Eastern Suburbs - At Bowral, both sets of clubs spectators will claim home town advantage. Buildcorp will be too good and will storm away in the second stanza to win with a 4 try BP, after the Beasties run out of puff not long after oranges. The Corporation by 20+

 

[GunnerDownUnder]

Gordon v Eastwood - Woodies by 10+ , best option for a live game before the Tahs Blues.

Northern Suburbs v Warringah - Rats at Home so a big win for them.

Manly v Penrith - Marlins not at home - will Nomad still be available here?
Either way a big win for the Marlins

Randwick v West Harbour - TV game, Pirates will be up for it and win by 3

Southern Districts v Parramatta - Souths by a lot...

Sydney University v Eastern Suburbs - Uni by the biggest margin of the week.

 

[GunnerDownUnder]

Think J McKenzie is still in the Team Rehab run on squad after a pretty serious Knee? injury in NRC.

No idea about McKenzie minor.

Cecil playing for Wenty again this year.

 

[GunnerDownUnder]

Good day for the woodies so far
39-0 in 4's
50-19 in 3's
45-15 in 2's

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

Good game on 7TWO. Big step up on last week.

As I said this the game has become scrappy.
