Randwick coach Ben McCormack would like nothing better than to have a team of Mitch Shorts and Christian Yassmins in his side each week.

As the Wicks hit the halfway mark of the Shute Shield McCormack says they are his side’s standouts as the boys from Coogee hit a testing and season defining period in their draw.

Ultra professional and confident are the words that the Randwick boss uses to describe Yassmin and Short.

The premiership dream of 2021 is still alive but the next month will be critical for a side that sits in eighth position with four wins and four losses.
