NOT THE GAME DAY THREAD - Finals week 1 vs Roosters

[Cheese sandwich]

Always the key positions at finals time innit. We've had brailey and johnson in game a few seasons back and then fitness questions over fullbacks the last 2 years.

The last game Hiroti played for us he played a blinder. He made his one and only 'hiroti style' mistake right near the end of the game when he dropped a sitter cold.

But he was a great replacement that game. (If my memory serves me well)

Atkinson while untested this year has played with Nicho before in the storm system. Is unpredictable and would be hard for the Roosters to plan for. Hiroti is more a winger and I don't want to move Ronnie to fb.

Chaos! Bring it on

Haven’t really seen any of Atkinson for the jets, but he killed it in that Newcastle trial. Think he is more familiar with fullback than hiroti or any of the other available options. Not too keen on Moylan. Didn’t perform at all in the knights game.

WK is a chance from what I heard yesterday. CT had scans yesterday also - don't know the results. Personally I think we name CT at 1 and DA, WK are in the 20/21.

Agree that DA is a realistic contender. Has been there for the Jets over the course of the season.

Big ask to make your debut in a sudden death semi.
We’re pretty short on options though, so it just might happen.

I have 2 tickets in PB upper stand available. If anyone wants them you can have them at the cost price. Just shoot me a msg

Just purchased 2 x GA.....Hahahahahaha.

 

[Craigshark]

Appears a whole heap of good seats went on sale to the general public this morning. Not sure how that’s really fair.

 

[R-15-3]

I’d name Hynes at 1 and Moylan at 6 as a decoy but play Hiroti at the back with Ronaldo given a license to roam in attack just a little bit.

Mate, you are 100% correct, with that said, I couldn't purchase 2 x seats together which is why I purchased GA.

 

[Stake Removed]

Anyone but Moylan

 

[Peach & Apricot]

Didn't Iro play fullback at the World Cup?

 

[DJDL]

Didn't Iro play fullback at the World Cup?

Yeah but DA is an “Italian international”.
We’re spoilt for choice.

Times have really changed in here. Crying out for Hiroti to play, never thought I’d see the day

 

[Quigs]

Hiroti or Moylan, that is the question.

The Answer is ........ ???

Hiroti or play a man short.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Scans revealed Tracey had no damage. He's iced it and will be put through the paces today. According to an article I read quoting CT.

Think it’s more to do with not using a rookie in finals footy. Only have Iro, Stonstreet, Atkinson or Moylan no other options. Rd 15 it’s another story.

Playing at Pointsbet gives us way better odds of winning our 1st Semi & for most of us that means this year was a small success! Besides I heard that if venue was moved Sharks don't share in a larger 'gate'!

The Sharks, and other home teams in finals for that matter, do not get any of the gate for tickets sold. All that money goes to the NRL.

Feel a bit for the coach tbh. Two years in a row his ducks have fallen when he needs them most. Lose and he will get the usuals giving it to him.

A tale as old as time.
