Do we give the energiser bunny a drink of water?

Someone else has suggested Mozzarella.... call me nuts but I don’t mind this idea. As Sam suggested in the pod this weeks we missed his passing game. So maybe the into Kable, keep the Mozz at half his price for two years... get on the drink for three...but then where does Tracey fot because he has to be kept.
Can Tracey play 6?
If so then see ya all dead wood.
I’d keep Tracey as a permanent 14. The way the game is now you are nearly guaranteed a player goes off with hia. He has proven he can cover any position. Saves moving players each game to accommodate injuries. If we get lucky with no injuries in a game can be a very good impact 13 of the bench.

Tracey is a half. We could do much worse than have him play 6. Not sure that Drinkwater is any better than him? At the very least, Tracey is a great 14 and main backup half in case of injusry to the main 6 or 7 throughout the season.

While not one of our supertar recruitment targets, I think he is one of those value for money players that will be an important cog in any success the Sharks have over the next couple of seasons.

CT's kicking game is probably something that lets him down to be a permanent half.

Tracey isnt good enough to be a starting half in a top 4 team (that's the aim right?). Bench 14 is his only spot in this team going forward I think.

Maybe his size as well depending on how Ftizshark is going to run them out. Not to mention his defence.

This is a bit of surprise

He's averaging 55 minutes per game. His defence stats (foxsports lab) are poor. Like he's being hidden

He's a quintessential Sharks fan favourite. He runs really fast and is therefore good.

Not fooling me. Just a stop gap. Lucky for him that with the chaos that is the game at the moment he is very useful as a bench player.

Drinkwater has apparently re-signed with the Cowboys for two years. It's in the Courier Mail

Strange decision for him to stay, obviously likes the club but with Holmes, Chad and Dearden curious where he fits. i do think a Chad/Drinkwater is better than a Chad/Dearden pairing.

He's managed by Orr, so is Chad. I doubt we were ever in with a chance after the dramas
They must be going to play Chad at hooker.....even though I'm taking the piss, imagine if that did happen and he succeeded, this place would be even more crazy haha

Stake would be gloating on here for weeks if that happened.

Fair point on Orr, but both parties will need to build a bridge and move on for the best interests of the club and players.

Though looking at who they mange there's not many I'd want -if there site is current. Of the Sharks they manage - Billy, Nene, Hazelton, Milne and Chad. Likely only going to be one at the club next year in Hazelton, even then I'm not sure if he's staying or under contract.

I think there's been a few times that the club has had to build a bridge with that group haha, and don't forget they also have Hannay on their books

Kayleb Milne had some promise as a big body from Melbourne but finds himself playing for Glebe this weekend.
Could we be an Orr free club by next season??
