Re: Shute Shield - every game - on STAN
Not to mention having to run 4 grades and 3 colts. That’s a big ask... Probably only 1-2 who could even contemplate it. Look at the div 1 clubs, its pretty much stayed the same for two decades, some have dropped down, a few disappeared. For me the strongest and with most dept are Colleagues or Drum...

Re: Shute Shield - every game - on STAN
Would re-instituting prom/relegation from Subbies work? You’d probably have a better feel for that than me, but since there’s clubs in Subbies Div 1 who’d be very competitive in Shute, perhaps there’s reasons why they don’t ask to go back to it. Interestingly, Gus Gould gets all this credit for dev...

Re: Shute Shield - every game - on STAN
We watched a bit of the Bond Uni v Norths game. Or, rather, we tried to (one of the Bond players is the son of some friends). The feed was terrible, verging on unwatchable. There will be some glitches. Let's hope they get sorted out bloody quickly. They’re leveraging Australia’s telecommunications ...

I’d like to see more of Anstee. Hes clarse. The Rebs have a decent pack but the backs have no penetration at all, due a lot to Matty Toomuas lack of creative ability. No way he can play 10 or 12 for the Wobs if we want to actually win a few games. Toomua perhaps deserves some blame but the Rebels b...

Re: Reds v. Brumbies battle.
Berry lost it No Greivy, the Reds took it from the Brumbies. Great game from both sides. Excellent discipline at the end from the Reds and JOC showed why he has to be the Wobs 10. He signalled advantage, both sides stopped playing That’s a clanger, regardless my point happy Reds got a home win
