Eastwood, Norths, Manly and Uni all won by less than five points in a thrilling weekend of Shute Shield rugby, while West Harbour and Gordon also impressed in their bonus point victories.

Check out our team of the week from round three.

1) Nick Brown - Manly

Besides setting up the try of the year, at least in the eyes of all props out there, Brown also led his side’s tackle count and made two pilfers.

2) James Hilterbrand - Manly

Like a fine red wine, Hilterbrand keeps getting better with age. He threw the first pass to Brown in his brilliant try assist and was really good at lineout time.

3) Vunipola Fifita - Easts
