Pre wash soak vs Bulldogs

I guess another question regarding Hynes and the commercial aspect is how much use is he if his performances continue to nosedive, he's basically become a running joke from mates and work colleagues when we're talking footy so I can assume I'm not the only one that hears this.

Long time listener, first time caller...

I love the Newtown Jets, but there is something about that partnership that is missing for me. I would argue that the Jets have utilized Sharks talent to win competitions, rather than Newtown being a stepping stone for NRL. The weak mentality stems from the Newtown partnership in terms of 80 minute performances.

Secondly, I attended the Sharks v Rabbits game and for the first time in my 52 years on earth, I despised being there - $43 to sit on the hill - No Thanks. It is an absolute disaster, there is zero atmosphere, in fact, I think it has now become "an event" to catch up with friends, take some snaps for social media and look at everything else happening other than the football.

I know I am getting old, but I thought that the development was genuinely designed to "save the Club" as well as enhance the game day experience - our lack of facilities are putrid. I would prefer to go to Allianz and play there.

It is really so disappointing, and honestly as others have pointed out the Club is having a lend.

I've talked about this quite a few times. I think the partnership arrests development in some way. When everyone is fit our primary feeder team should be made up of 13 top 30 players, the dev players and the rest Sharks junirs from Flegg. Seems to be the way the big guns are running their reggies when I watch the Jets games.

Imagine Billy Magoulias being selected in the Jets ahead of someone like McCullogh who is well ready for a tilt in reserves. Beggars belief to me.

Tricky was awful…..Nicho was MIA. Had a lot to do with the forwards getting owned and buckled over backwards on almost every tackle. This week will be interesting to see how or if they bounce back 5 days after being owned by the dogs pack. Reckon (and hope) that Puru gets a shot against his old club. Atko is horse-shit and will be a good fit for the Goons. Also bothered me to see Brails and McInnes taking 3 and 4 tackles to get behind the ruck as early as the 10 minute mark in the first half. I get that it was as humid as f**k but the energy wasn’t there from the get-go imo.

We still struggle to stop an offload

First time the coach has appeared shaky in a presser. Usually wears his happy with life mask willing to say it was a great contest and we were right in it.
Hes a hard man who played hard and wouldve been pissed we got beat in the fight.
Hynes hates the contact. Can't hit in defence. Hates getting tackled hard. Needs watch the bloke with ADHD at Melbourne who wears 6. The harder they come, the better he plays.
Atkinson has got post contract-signing form. For us, the bloke can only play 1 position. In the halves. He's useless anywhere else.
Would Bellamy put Hynes at left centre with Ronaldo? Because pretty sure he wouldve worked out the no 7 experiment won't win you a title.

You want to put a player who hates contact at centre where he has to make one on one tackles?

Hilarious!

Hynes at centre is almost as dumb as the suggestion of Hynes at lock.

It was reported that we had 5 players with COVID and another 5 players with Influenza A on our return from Las Vegas.

I don't know if that has caught up with the squad and what that may or may not look like in the next month. I actually think it is good for the Team to be away for the next 6 weeks.

Good for the fans too - already need a break from the rocks and diamonds of it all
