    Rumoured / Confirmed Signings

    Our Flegg team has been knocked about. Most notable, Te Wehi Waitere has gone to Penrith. His brother who captained the team is still here. Brad Fearnley who we got from Penrith has gone back. Toby Boothroyd has apparently also left. Henry O'Kane was wanted by the Dogs but I think he has stayed...

    Rumoured / Confirmed Signings

    Lam is bang average. He re-signed knowing that someone stupid like Canberra or Wests would take him so a swap or transfer fee would be paid. You could probably negate that with a swap for Moylan, but I doubt he is coming home to play reserves. Trindall is better, Dykes will be better. Hell, I...

    In Fitzy We Trust

    He didn't inherit a squad like Fitz though, and also had a bit of cap to work with. This is the season to start judging Fitz. He will have a bit of money and 3 offseasons to work out a defensive structure. Attack is fine, we have scored 1200 points in 2 seasons. Conceded 944. That's the part...

    Does he solve the issues? We don't know until we try, right? If not, Ronaldo is a handy winger, and Talakai is a handy centre. Ronaldo is quick, Stonestreet is quicker. That combination could be lethal, could be shit. Lucky we have a couple of trial games and an entire offseason to try stuff out.

    Where it went wrong 2023

    This is a game plan. Clear and obvious. We don't grubber into the in goal area to avoid giving away a 7 tackle set. 3m out with a full set of 6, what do you want the team to do? 4 sweeping plays in a row? Crash plays suck the defence in and give you space for a sweep play. You'll be surprised to...

    Rumoured / Confirmed Signings

    We are getting close to having a 1-17 of players who don't play in their correct positions v 1-17 of players who don't play for us. On the bolded part, I don't think we need to look to far outside of the shire for that. We have 2 really good backs on the books in Iro and Stonestreet. Fitz just...

    Where it went wrong 2023

    Trindall has played hooker in firsts and was dreadful. He has also done it for Newtown, again, dreadful. Whats the obsession of making 100 round holes and moving square pegs to fill them?

    In Fitzy We Trust

    Personally, I think Fitz is a good Coach with the potential to be great. He has coached 2 season, about 50 games and made the finals both seasons. No results in the finals yet, however, you ask any rookie Coach if they would take that and they would bite your hand off. Hell, ask Des Hasler if he...

    Next Year

    Club set that up for a reason though. There won't be any pressure on him for a long time.

    Where it went wrong 2023

    Go back and watch all the games with Moylan again and you will see who starts the play (the halfback) and who receives the second pass (the 5/8) The majority of the time, Moylan was in at first receiver on the long sweep plays. The numbers on the back meant nothing. Even Trindall was in at first...

    Next Year

    There are so many hole in this, but lets start with the pbvious. Dykes hasn't played 6 in 4 years, and hasn't played AY footy for 18 months, so lets make him our key play maker? Healy has not played 7. But lets make him our most important player in the team. This is going to be an epic offseason.

    Game Day - NRLW - Sharks vs Parra

    Preston? Nothing special really, but we spent all our money on the rest of our spine, including making Tonegato one of the highest paid players in the game. She has one of the best long kicks on her but she is pretty limited in what she can do. This was an experimental spine really, a 19 year...

    Left of centre.

    His defence is shocking. He was absolutely monstered in a Final by 18 year old Paul Alomoti and I think that sent a few alarm bells across the club. At the time when Talakai was in and out of form, they should have perhaps given him a run, but went with Connor. Attitude and defence are the...

    On what basis would Healy be pushing for First Grade? He played a few NSW Cup games, dropped back to the Flegg Finals and was absolutely awful. I can understand a Dev deal and hope he improves drastically but he is more like to be pushing back end of 2025. Same as Kobe Wilson.

    Left of centre.

    It is no secret Kayal Iro wants out of the club.

    Next Year

    Healy doesn't have a contract, be it top 30 or development deal for next year, but lets start him in the halves over our 2 best options. Lets also throw in a kid who has played no football in the last 18 months because of injury. Jesus wept. Going to be a long offseason.

    Game Day - NRLW - Sharks vs Parra

    50 Points is also the biggest winning margin. Annessa Biddle was also close to the most meters in a game. Ellie Johnson set the record for most tries by a forward in a season. The loss to Wests and the Titans at home really hurt. Could have and should have been playing finals footy.

    Healy? In the halves? Why?

    Where it went wrong 2023

    Nicho at 7 isn't the problem. He played at "6" most of the season. It's a number on his back. The main issue was having Moylan in the side for so long that Nicho became too reliant on himself and the team became too reliant on him. Not trusting Trindall more was a big killer, when we were up...

    Left of centre.

    We need speed and power in the team. Iro has it. Stonestreet has it. Ronnie has it. Ramie has it. Katoa has power but no speed. Kennedy has speed but minimal power. Someone is going to be unlucky to miss out on a spot next year, however, one name probably won't be here anyway. Talakai needs to...
