We’re roughly halfway through the 2021 Shute Shield season, broadcast exclusively on Stan Sports, and with the players set to take a break over the long weekend, we thought we’d take a look at which players are leading the way in a handful of key stats.

While most will be pleased to rank high on the lists below, others won’t like seeing their names in categories like Missed Tackles and Most Penalties. Maybe it’ll be the push they need to improve certain parts of their game in the back half of the season. 

Don’t forget you can watch highlights from every Shute Shield match played in 2021 over the long weekend and catch all the live action every Saturday by subscribing to Stan Sport.
