Shute Shield 2017

Has anybody seen this? If it is true i am speechless

I find the statement unbelievable (ie not true) that they, the "Waratahs recruitment bloke or whoever" would have said he had to wait until he was 23 to play first grade.....

^^^^It may or may not been what was said, but the kid interpreted that way and his reality is all that matters in this instance. A massive loss for union - I watch him with the Rabbitohs and he is a unit (imagine him and Fifita at 6 and 8).

Same people who didn't want to know this kid signed Hanigan and Horwitz.

Hanigan I rate, but not yet. Horwitz

Good article - interesting to see so many still running around (Scott Stumbles will probably play this Sat for Uni 4s).
Was the Shute Shield played as a warm up for the Tooheys Cup in 2005?

 

[wamberal]

That was a very strong side. Not sure the current lot can do the job.

Indeed it was between 2002 and 2006. Tooheys Cup final saw Eastwood and Sydney Uni clash with all of their rock stars back.

Yes the SS was played for the first part of the season and the TNC for the second part.

In the good old days of Super 12 followed by a nitro charged Tooheys Cup.

Angus Crichton would have played for Easts. Not nearly as favourable!

Not sure that's right given the tie up between Scots and the Wicks at the time, however, if he intended to play for the Beasts that would explain why the Tahs told him he'd be 23 before he'd get a start.

He played for Easts Colts while at school. (Don't think Scots knew about it)

Particularly as Tim Kellaher has self-identified as being the person responsible for youth recruiting at the time.

Form a circle

Ned Hanigan, Joeys and Randwick.

Hoping to get to the GF, work is trouble and unsure if I will finish in time.

SS doing a lot right and me thinks that NSQ was a very clever choice of ground, it looks packed with 8 k, if they pull anything over 15 K the crowd will look huge.

Are we doing reports from the match as work tomorrow could be a cow, I have two clients to complete.

LAST year it was Muhammad Ali. This year, Northern Suburbs have used the New England Patriots as their theme
in trying to win back-to-back Shute Shield grand finals.
