Shute Shield 2019 betting predictions:

Shute Shield 2019 betting predictions don’t see Western Syndney or Gordon winning

Both Western Syndey and Gordon have underdogs odds for 2019 Shute Shield champions.  Western Sydney, previously known as Paramatta or Two Blues last won the title in 1986.  Gordon have also been quiet in the competition as they last won the Shield in 1998. The odds of them winning anything this year go against them.

Gordon has odds of winning at 21.00 and Western Suburbs’s odds are 81.00, the worst at bet365 Sportsbook. If you want to make a risky move, Gordon would be a safer choice. Between the two, Gordon are a much stronger team as they have won 8 Shute Shield titles.

Radwick’s title of most successful club is under threat from Sydney University

Radwick will enter the competition with good odds to win the 2019 Shute Shield. They have won the most titles in the competition, but this is in jeopardy as they last were champions in 2004.

Last year,  Radwick failed to make the Grand Final and finished the competition in 9th with 11 losses in 18 matches. If the Sydney club are to protect their name and remain relevant, a win this year is a must.

So there’s a chance that the rugby club could win and return to being a big name in the competition. Radwick (8.50) could make it to the Grand Final if they win games against big names such as Sydney University, Warringah, and Northern Suburbs. You can bet on Radwick to be the Grand Final winner and you can also check out the latest review about bet365 Sportsbook.

Their odds to win this year are 5.00, so all eyes will be on them to win their second consecutive title. They secured a comfortable win in the 2018 Shute Shield Grand Final beating Warringah 45-12.
