The Shute Shield coaches have continued to tinker ever so lightly with their lineups as we head into the all important Round Three matches.

Two games of significant importance this weekend are the Manly v Northern Suburbs game at Manly Oval, the TV game, and the Warringah v Eastern Suburbs encounter at Pittwater Rugby Park.

Norths sit on top of the competition table but will have their credential examined quite closely by the Marlins while the Rats will be searching for their first win of 2020 after losing to Sydney Uni and Randwick in the first two rounds.

As always at this time of the year competition table pressure is starting to kick in.

Here are the teams:
