Shute Shield: Final round hypotheticals

We’re into the final round of the 2022 regular season and while five teams have booked their spot in the playoffs, four others are battling for the final three spots in the top eight.

Teams are also playing for a spot in the top four and a second chance in the playoffs this weekend.

2nd: Sydney University (62pts, 12 wins, +187) - Manly (A)
