Shute Shield Previews: Manly Host Wicks While Woods Take on Souths
by Brendan Bradford –
Manly vs Randwick at Manly Oval, Saturday 3pm –
Randwick have the fourth best defensive record in the competition but conceded almost a quarter of those 457 to Manly in two heavy losses. A 60-12 loss at home and a 48-0 loss at Manly Oval leaves no doubt as to the task facing the Galloping Greens this Saturday.
“We shipped over 100 points to them already, so no one expects anything of us and no one believes that we’re any chance of winning, and rightly so, because we haven’t shown any form against them and they’re top of the comp – but we’re a chance,” said Wicks coach Wade Kelly.
“No one’s unbeatable, we’ve seen that this year and if you watch the Warringah match, it was their Grand Final and Manly were a bit off and against Easts they dropped the ball over the line a few times and didn’t kick for points.”
