Players moving from club to club seems to be part and parcel of life in the Shute Shield these days, after all the playing window for the current cohort of players isn’t the “long lunch” that it once was.

There doesn’t seem to be the angst that it once generated but Around The Traps is hearing that the defection of Zac Barnabas from the Manly Marlins to Warringah is a difficult one.

The Marlins aren’t happy at all and it’s sure to add some spice to the Battle of the Beaches derby between the two clubs at Manly Oval on Anzac Day, April 25.
