Norths and Easts set up grand final showdown after bettering Randwick and Rats
Norths and Easts booked their spots in Saturday's Shute Shield decider with hard fought wins over Randwick and Warringah respectively.
Those results mean the competition will have its fifth different premier in seven seasons, with Norths looking to add to the title they last won in 2016 and Easts looking to break a premiership drought that dates all the way back to 1969.
RANDWICK V NORTHERN SUBURBS at North Sydney Oval
Northern Suburbs get the chance to atone for what could have been in 2023, storming through to the Shute Shield grand final with an impressive 34-17 win over Randwick on Saturday.
Norths got out of the blocks well and barring a block of the game just after the halftime break when their discipline was a bit shaky, pretty much dominated the entire contest.
They ended up scoring four tries to two but it was their work without the ball that impressed many of the better judges at the game.
