Northern Suburbs v Randwick

Max Jorgensen is set to make his Shute Shield debut for Randwick in Saturday’s grand final rematch at North Sydney Oval.

Jorgensen will start at fullback for the Galloping Greens, with James Hendren shifting to the wing in place of returning Waratah Dylan Pietch.

In the forwards, Dec Leaney and former Junior Wallaby Val Yates will start in the front row after last week’s bruising local derby against Easts.
