with the impending suspension of bird there is no real alternative

 

[Sharkies all the Way]

I think it will be good to have Noddy, Peachey and Bailey all back with a great player like Kent going into the 5/8 role. Happy days

geez i remember it wasnt that long back such hype was laid on aitken

as kent has only had 1 first grade game with the sharks in the halves reefy do you think all these platitudes may be premature?

No.
I have seen Aitken a few times & I did not really buy into it.
For mine he looks too structured. Very similar to a finch style.
I dont like it, but Finch does a good job, when he is in a good team.
I never but had anything for praise for Kent because his defene &effort have always been outstanding.
I was concerned at an average game of kents against the Dogs at the start of the year.
But other than that, this guy has the weapons.
It is just a matter of execution, confidence & combinations for him now.
The moons are in alignment.
Time to bring it on Mr Kent.

 

[shadowboxer]

sweet. The panic surrounding bird suspension hasnt really worried me, kent is on hand and his kicking game alone was enough to warrant a spot in the team. Good on ya kent..

 

[Nuffs]

it's settled then. kent at 6

so who plays at 7 if Noddy hasn't recovered? i was told by a little birdy that the club doesn't want to risk him this week

 

[Sharkies all the Way]

I would have thought if he could have played yesterday he would be a sure bet this weekend #-o . If he doesnt play we might see Kent at 1/2 back and Aitken at 5/8 :shock:

Can't afford not to have him in IMO with the likely suspension of GB

 

[Macca]

If Bird challenges his charge and wins then they may rest Noddy. Mistake IMO. Get the Noddy/Kent combo firing.

Millers, you seem to have very negative take on our result in Newie. I see it as very positive. Apart from THAT 7 minutes of horror ofcourse.

We won that game without 2 of our most important players. I know Newcastle were very short too but didn't you see the danger if we had lost it? We would be down in 11th or 12th.

It was a big win regardless of how it occurred. With those players to come back and form combinations with the guys that got us home on Sunday, things are looking brighter than they have been any time this year.

I see the tough run home as another positive. If we gather momentum and consolidate our place in the top 8 it will fare well for us come September.

Your thoughts?

 

[pogo]

which of the THREE that were out wasnt as important as the other two?

 

[Macca]

Bailey.

yes and we were a duck feather from loosing it

with due respect mcsharkie

that newcastle line up was not top 8 class

forgive me if i dont pop the corks just yet

we would need to improve on yesterdays game to stay in the top 8

 

[Macca]

Fair enough. I am not popping corks either but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'll continue this with you on Saturday. ;-)

 

[pogo]

2.40 to make the 8 prior to the weekend now 1.90!!

not that i take a great deal of interest in the tab prices.

 

[Macca]

:lol: No not at all. Pity about the 13+ though mate.

 

[millersnose]

1.90 to make the top eight!!!

that isnt what you would call a sure thing is it

 

[Macca]

Pogo has them at alot better fixed odds than that though don't you mate. A bit of cash on em too I imagine.

 

[millersnose]

i hope it isnt his house

 

[Macca]

That would be a a pretty massive punt. :lol:

I reckon it's probably less than 1% of that. Still a big bet though. How much have you got on em Pogo?
