Gagan has to be in there, the kid is a future star!

1. Gordon

2. Gagan

3. Feki
4. Beale

5. Brown

6. Barber

[Click2000]

Sorry that was meant to be D Fifita on bench not Taga!

 

[++ Gregos v.4]

My guess is it will be:

1 Gordon
2 Feki
3 Loots
4 Beale
5 Brown

6 Barba
7 Robson

8 Fafita
9 Ennis
10 Tags
11 Lewis
12 Graham
13 Gallen

14 Toupu
15 Heighno
16 Bakuya
17 Brown

Do I agree? Mostly. There are a few things I'd change. But that's what I think Flanno will do.

 

[Card Shark]

Gagan has to be in there, the kid is a future star!

If he's not, Flanno must've thought his ban included not being allowed to watch the Sharks on TV.

I don't mind that side. The young kids can still force their way into that side. Don't want to have too many rookies at once

 

[Special K]

At a guess Wells and Roquia are outside the 30. Nobody will sign Ayshford off us. Seems nobody wants to take Gards either

 

[Card Shark]

Seems nobody wants to take Gards either

Highlights reel would be awesome, just tragically short - about 20 seconds.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Flanno's a very basic kinda guy so I think we will see:

1. Gordon
2. M Brown
3. Leutele
4. Beale
5. Feki
6. Barba
7. Robson
8. Fifita
9. Ennis
10. Tagataese
11. Lewis
12. Graham
13. Gallen

14. Bukuya
15. Tupou/Heighington
16. D Fifita
17. F Brown

 

[bluefox1968]

He has GOT to be ready to tell Gal to play Prop - we just don't have any depth there!

Come on, Flanno, if you're listening - you can do it!

 

[carinashark]

Great to see Bakuya back, but I wonder what happened with the Warriors? Brown , what has he learnt ? if anything.

 

[southland]

If Murph is up to scratch after a big preseason...

1. Gordon
2. M. Brown
3. Feki
4. Beale
5. Gagan
6. Barba
7. Murphy
8. A. Fifita
9. Ennis
10. Tagatese
11. Lewis
12. Graham
13. Gallen

14. Nu Brown
15. Bukuya
16. Heighnington
17. Tupou
18. Arona

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Great to see Bakuya back, but I wonder what happened with the Warriors? Brown , what has he learnt ? if anything.

Bakuya plays in a position that we are quite stocked on anyway.
Was a bit of a strange signing from the offset.
Think he was wanting to come home when things went belly up for him here.
Credit to him though, from what I understand, he was a professional throughout.
FWIW, I actually thought he deserved to be in the 17, I reckon he'll do well for you guys again

 

[shaggs]

Only way bakuya fits is to play on the right. Lewis tight and graham left.

Gal FR.

 

[madunit]

If Gallen plays prop, the Sharks attack will be scary good.

If he plays Lock, not much will change

 

[SharkShocked]

Why can everyone see that BUT Gallen & Flanno?

 

[ghoti]

I must be one of the only people on the forum who doesn't think Gallen is as much of a prop as he is a lock... Gallen doesn't bend the line enough with the first hit-up from the front row, better suited to taking the second or third as a lock.

Problem is, we don't have many props, but I don't believe which much certainty that Gal can do the best job for us as a front-rower as he does as a lock forward. I actually think we'd be weakening the front row by playing Gal up there.

 

[shaggs]

Can't get any weaker up front ghoti
