It’s been a tough year for the Western Sydney Two Blues but they can look to the efforts of their No.9 Sam Babb and opensider George Prain as bright spots in the first half of the Shute Shield season.

The Two Blues are yet to record a win in 2021 and the scorelines have been heavily lopsided but it must be said that doesn’t give an accurate reflection of the effort that has been put in.
