Jinxed Kyle
If there is a more luckless footballer than Kyle Stanley, we're yet to hear about him.
The gifted utility back did his ACL for the FOURTH time while playing for Cronulla feeder club Newtown on Saturday, falling to the ground in a crumpled heap after fielding a grubber kick.
Stanley screamed hysterically when he realised his knee had gone again and you'd have to think this time it's the end at the ripe old age of 24.
Holmes worth investigating
Cronulla fans are still wondering why Shane Flanagan opted for Mitch Brown ahead of either Valentine Holmes or Jack Bird for the season opener against Canberra.
Brown dropped a kick at a crucial period of the game and was also chopped down by Jack Wighton when a try looked a near certainty deep in the match.
Holmes is an excitement machine who has been brought along slowly by the Sharks, while under-20s Origin rep Bird looks a real prospect and could have easily handed an assignment on the wing.
Flanagan is a conservative type who prefers to use older, more experienced players.
But don't be surprised to see a change or two to his backline for Friday night's visit by Brisbane.
