Northern Suburbs coach Zak Beer hit the nail pretty match on the head when he said that you don’t win anything in June and he is setting his group for a red hot crack towards the back end of the Shute Shield.

Norths have hit the halfway mark of the competition with an eight from nine record and are playing some pretty good team rugby.

They are not perfect but they defend well and have some weapons in the bag that means that they will go deep once the playoffs begin in August.
