Shute Shield 2016

[AussieDominance]

gordon just don't have the cattle.
They have guys playing 1's that would be 3rd graders at Marlins.

Like who? Our forward pack is nothing flash but competent at the moment in my opinion. Bit worried about the size of our backline though.

 

[I like to watch]

In their defence you tell me that the pigs are nothing flash,and the size of the backs are a worry.

You sure you dont agree?

I see Sydney Uni have pick up Brad Wilkin. That's an enormous addition. A very talent player.

Woollahra Oval is apparently about to become a synthetic turf field.

Eastwood to beat Easts
Randwick over Gordon
Rats a little too good for Norths
Manly to survive the Easter Saturday journey to Death Valley
Uni to lap Penrith
The unpredictable Wests to cause an upset and beat Souths

Manly to survive the Easter Saturday journey to Death Valley

They'll be too late! The match is scheduled for today!

No David Hickey for The Corporation this week. Possibly given a rest by Judiciary, or unilateral action was taken by his club.

I recall one of their wingers being "stood down" a year or two back after a pretty nasty off the ball incident at Concord (against Pirates) which escaped the attention of the Match officials. Don't think it went to Judiciary, but the players name disappeared off their team lists for a long while.

Yes seen clubs manage sanctions, this is really good to see.

Round 1 only got 2/6 correct, and complaints about my accuracy of the 20-all draw were registered.

Round 2 Tips. The visitors are looking good.
Randi-Wix v Highlanders. Both teams seemed to underperform last week, but Wix should underperform by less this week. The Gallopers by 7-12

Rats v Shoremen. Good result for the Red and Blacks last week while the Rats struggles to put the Beasties away. Momentum is with the Shoremen who should survive the night foray deep into the Insular Peninsular with a W by 5-10.

M2B v MMM. The pressure is on me to get this right after declaring 2016 as The Year of the West with a 20 all draw. This'll be close but not a draw. MMM by 7-10. M2B to win the Canteen/BBQ award.

Woodies v Beasties. Upset of the Week. All TV games this year have gone against the favourite. Beasties to romp in by >10.

Emus v The Corporation. Slightly better performances by the Riff under Jeremy Paul but it will be Rinse and Repeat. Students by plenty.

Pirates v Hobbits. The Shoeless Ones from The Shire will cruise to victory by >20.

A Good Friday visit to Granville has upset written all over it.

I think that player actually played the next week (against manly?) and was involved in another incident (not as bad) and got a yellow
He then never played for uni again (think he went back to the UK)

 

[No.8]

Which Shute Shield side is Will Skelton contracted to? Due to him being dropped by the tahs this week - guessing he will be playing Shute Shield?

Yeah different after oranges 40 - 8

 

[GunnerDownUnder]

Was still a good game in first half
Some of that MMMs back line is real class
Two if not three will make super rugby in next year or so

36-59
Full time
MMMs were dominant but MTBs pack showed some weakness in the Marlins and both teams will come up against far weaker tight-fives and less mobile back-rows
The MMMs backs could be the best in the SS
It was a very good Friday for the neutral
Lane and Pili-Gaitau were the picks for me with Rech an honourable mention

Veryy accurate - even down to the chosen players

Randwick 50 Gordon 14
Gordon scored two great tries but overall Randwick too strong and kept the ball moving with exceptional backing up to get to 50.
