Shute Shield 2025

[Blazing Saddles]

Woodies were very entertaining, great rugby to watch

Yep, they are looking okay, but obviously teams like Easts will be a lot harder to beat.

Gamble has more games v the lions and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Leota and Heaven go overseas earlier.

Still a lot to manage though. Or just pay the massive fine of $100

I believe you lose points as well after last year's issues

I notice Easts clocked up 85 player points this week v Souths without any of their Waratahs.

Send 'em to Coogee Oval, they’ll get game time there!

Sydney Uni might have THE WORST field in prem rugby in the country.

Good lawd it's in a state. It's the game on GEM v Norths if anyone fanices a look without going on Stan.

I gave up going there many years ago, the facilities for the hoi polloi are dreadful. Members are catered for. Maybe it has changed now, we live in QLD and will never visit Camperdown again. Unless they pick us up and transport us by limos and private jets as appropriate.

Are we going to see any players leaving early to go play in the NPC?

I heard they spent $2 million on it to make it 50/50 real/synthetic. I know some players were saying it was really good so something must've really stuffed up in recent times.

Wouldn't the synthetic bits still be green in that case? Lot of yellow out there.

 

[the coach]

I'm reluctant to ask this question but here goes, assuming the Vuni Fifita who came off the bench for Easts last game is the same person who was part of the Easts points controversy last year, how come he's now only 1 player point whereas last year he was 11?

Anyone know?

BTW, Easts would have still sneaked in at 98 points if he had been 11 points.
