Shute Shield 2025

[Done that]

If players return from an overseas stint, after effectively abandoning their Sydney club is not obliged to select them over the players who have remained loyal & worked & played for their local club. Its up to the club to set an example .Loyalty is a 2 way thing.

Lets hope Schmidt's example with Gleeson puts some integrity back into Aussie Rugby.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

This made me laugh. Not at you as I agree, but the thought of a Club HC not selecting a potentially better player because of a loyalty when their existence depends on going as far as they can in the comp and would most likely also jump at a job (which is what it is) somewhere else that is seen as more professional.

One man's "integrity" is another man's "win at all costs".

 

[the coach]

Most/all of these guys are potentially available later in the season.

Depends how their MLR team goes. Regular season ends 8/6, playoffs end 28/6.

Will there be a separate NSW or Shute Shield 2025 colts thread ?

 

[wamberal99]

If you want one, start one.

 

[Ohana]

Happy to. Have looked but can’t find a way to do this. Maybe due to the fact I am newbie. Clicked on ‘Contact us’ to see what other options exist but the link does not work.

Was on social media and Uni are showing photos of their ground getting turned into hybrid. I thought it looked like a pretty good surface on TV last season, bar those really wet weeks.

Is this being pushed by other codes who might use that ground?

 

[Homer]

Am I right in saying the Rats are two from two in the sevens comps so far?

 

[Rugger Observer]

Whats the predictions of who will be lifting up the silverwear this year.
Me personally i think it could be Easts going Back to back.
Anyone got any other takes, i would love to know

RO out

 

[noknowledgeatall]

Maybe but by all accounts some other clubs have been recruiting well.

My smokey is Gordon to be at the pointy end of the season competing hard deep into finals.

 

[KlNG]

I think Norths anyone got any other thoughts?

 

[Homer]

I think Easts will be hard to beat for the next few years after some aggressive colts recruiting, especially last year. They have set themselves up well.
Rats have apparently scoured NZ and QLD for talent.

 

[Love2Scrum]

Any idea when the trial matches begin????

 

[Steve_Grey]

Any idea when the trial matches begin????

Looks like Mar 15th - Easts travel to Brisbane to play Brothers in the Club Championship the week before on Mar 8th.

 

[HarryElite]

Based on what ive heard recruitment wise, Warringah vs Gordon GF, Easts and Uni to make out the other 2 semi finalists. Norths and wildfires in the top 6. Manly and Norths to go close to the 6 with parra, souths and wests working out the bottom 3 places.
