The June long weekend comes just over halfway through the 2023 Shute Shield regular season and we’ve now had plenty of time to take a look at all 12 sides.

So with no matches over the weekend, we thought we’d pull together a list of the 50 most influential players in the Shute Shield, based solely off their performances so far this season.

The list was compiled based on conversations with all 12 Shute Shield coaches and a number of key competition statistics.

To be eligible for the list, players must have played at least five of the 10 competition games so far this season.

30. Yool Yool - Manly 

Few players can create something out of nothing quite like Manly winger Yool Yool. On top of having the best name in the Shute Shield, Yool also leads the competition in linebreaks with 15 from 10 matches so far this year. 

29. Chlayton Frans - Hunter
