    The bye - our approach

    Has anyone seen anything on how we are approaching the bye? I know a few clubs have given their squad 5 days off for a break - I wonder if we’ll do the same? Not quite sure where I stand on giving the players an extended break - on the 1 hand, feels like a good chance to recharge the batteries...

    Petty things that give you the shits…

    What are peoples fairly insignificant pet hates in the game at the moment? One thing that really gives me the shits at the moment is when a player has scored, a group are together celebrating, and some tw@t has to come and jump as high as they can over the top of the group - usually ending up...

    Sharks 16’ vs Sharks 22’

    Bored… So…. We finished 2nd, so a very successful regular season - our most successful since 2016, so it got me wondering, how many of todays team would get a game in that 2016 GF team. Barba 1 Kennedy Feki 2 Katoa Bird 3 Ramien Loots 4 Talakai Holmes 5 Ronnie Maloney 6 Moylan Chad 7 Hynes...

    Bubble Time

    Given we’ve just seen Souths lose Cook for 2 games after contracting Covid, I reckon we should be thinking about going into a club imposed bubble until our Premiership celebrations begin. It would be awful to lose a key player and potentially ruin our chance for the big games due to covid.

    James Graham

    Just seen the footage that Fitzy got James Graham in to present Cam Mc his 150th jersey….. He’s just been bizarrely given the flick by St Merge - is exactly the sort of bloke Fitzy likes (same mould as Dale and Cam), very intelligent, knows the game, speaks the truth, and is a good honest, hard...

    Just a ‘what if’

    So, as some of you will be aware, I’m born and bred in the U.K., but have been a Sharks fanatic since the moment ET turned up on U.K. soil playing for Leeds in the mid-80’s. When we got to the GF in 2016, Mrs Chimp was heavily pregnant, but gave me the ‘go if you want to’ instructions, which...

    Bullying in the media

    Not seen this one mentioned anywhere yet - but I see Anthony Maroon walked off the Triple M Sunday show due to incessant taunts from Hooper, Kent and Tallis (mainly Hooper this week). Every week they get into him, and whilst it’s all jovial and will be passed off as banter, you can tell it’s...

    Thursday AND Monday Night Footy

    So, how good is it having had footy to watch Thursday through to Monday, so only 2 nights without footy and it’s back on again. I know Thursdays and Mondays are not great for crowds, so there’s a financial hit for the clubs, and not great for those fans who’d usually attend, but can’t make those...

    Gameday vs Tigpies

    it would be nice if we could put on a clinic and have an enjoyable flogging of the TigPies. I’ve let the fluffy feeling take over and gone balls in on my bets for a big score. I’ve backed a few of our pigs to score try doubles…. Royce paying 90/1 for a double!

    Brandon Smith - Podcast

    So he’s all over the news having gushed about the Roosters on the Isaac John podcast, but there were a couple of other bits that caught my ear… When discussing Cameron Smith, he said something along the lines of ‘he likes a beer, but he doesn’t do any of the other stuff’, awkward chuckle and...

    James McManus Concussion Case

    Haven’t seen this discussed elsewhere, if it is, apologies and delete…. Great news for the game that his legal case against the Knights has been thrown out. Hopefully this is the start point to end the pandering to doctors and lawyers. Sad for him if his alleged symptoms are all true, but we...

    The 18th man

    Not sure if this has been discussed in any of the other threads, but thought the choice of Trindall as 18th man was a ridiculous one. I know it’s unlikely we’ll need to use it, but surely you’d stick a big back rower as your 18th man - the sort that can mix it up the middle or push out wide...

    Rudolph on Pre-season

    Anyone heard what he had to say about Sharks pre-season on Chads shitty podcast? Basically said when he joined the Sharks, the pre-season was nothing like as hard as at Souths and that this year is the first pre-season that’s been tough like at all other clubs. Said he’d heard before joining...

    Written Off

    So, we’re being pretty much universally written off as a chance this weekend (including by me and I’d say over 90% of posters on here). I just caught up on NRL360, with a segment with Ikin, Kent, Brandy and Toovs - all four pretty scathing of our chances and recent performances and attitude...

    The Ronaldo Issue

    So - what do we do about Ronaldo? I’ve been vocal in my love for him - has plenty going for him, his passion, his toughness, his off-field persona, he’s everything you could want in a young footballer and a young man - his family must be immensely proud... BUT..... I think he’s probably been...

    Manly COVID breach

    Did anyone else notice that as the Manly players ran out onto the pitch against the Sharks, a few players gave a ‘high five’ to someone in the stands above the tunnel. Only a small thing, and likely not to cause an issue, but a few weeks ago, the Bulldogs were find for shaking hands with Terry...

    GI - out of retirement to Warrington

Will show...

    Whilst he’s at it - The BIFF

    So PVL appears to be a pretty ballsy guy - he reckons he knows what makes the game more entertaining and ain’t afraid of trampling over people, or being unpopular in his quest to make the game great - so I wonder if he has the balls to take on the PC brigade and soften the approach to punishing...

    Chad - Broken thumb

    Reports that Chad has broken his thumb at training. Gives us a chance to see what we look like without him, unless he’s fixed in 2 weeks. If Moylan is fit, presumably we’ll go with Johnson and Moylan in tha halves - that could be ‘interesting’. Would be good to see what Tracey has got. Old...

    All hail Darcy Lussick

    Done what every NSW fan has been waiting years for. And I'm pretty sure it's Gal that can be heard in the crowd on the footage laughing and saying 'Queensland Mother F-er' What a result!
