Sydney Rugby Union president Phil Parsons has not ruled out finishing the Shute Shield competition some time in November.

“At the end of the day we want to get as much footy in as possible before the end of the year but as you can appreciate there are quite a few balls in the air at the moment,” Parsons told Rugby News.

“But it is getting to the stage where we need to make a decision whether to push ahead and try and get some sort of finality to this season or to call things off.”
