Sharks 2019 team

[Stake Removed]

I know only initial squad but if we thats basically it and Flanno adds some more of the 20s to make it top 30, our round 1 team will most probably be (not my team but more based on how Flanno thinks)

1. V.Holmes
2. S.Feki
3. J.Morris
4. J.Dugan
5. S.Katoa
6. M.Moylan
7. C.Townsend
8. A.Fifita
9. J.Brailey
10. M.Prior
11. S.Sorenson
12. J.Williams
13. P.Gallen

bench
14. A.Woods
15. J.Bukuya
16. K.Capewell
17. B.Brailey

He will go for experience as usual, play 2 rakes, Capewell to cover the backrow and outside back issues.

Players like Xerri/Nikora will have to wait as normal, where if there pre sason is going great give them a shot early, but we know Flanno and it worked for him the past, go experience to start

I am predicting we will have the best defensive record for 2019.
Attack ..meh
Add Hayne and we will go pretty good.
But defence is gonna be our thing.

Moylan showed some pretty good things in defence
Chad is very underated in that dept.
Morris will be great.
Dugan and him together I think could work.

Graham?

Graham?

He wont be fit for round 1

 

[Defer to the coifed]

katoa no chance.

Weak back row in that squad. Sorensen really didn't aim up in big games and isn't a starter in a quality side. Williams has only played a few games and is more of a middle as is Bakuya. Gallen will do a job. Capewell improved but again is not top draw.

Flange needs to recruit at least 1 quality edge backrower. Graham is a massive loss as he adds so much to the attack. Hopefully his recovery goes well as he will be crucial in the back end of the season.

If they are going to be the only 4 backrowers considered for Round 1 due to injury etc I think you got them the wrong way round.

Will Gallen even be fit? Did he get a shoulder reco?

Nah
Not going to bother
Too old
Wait until he retires is what he said.

Flanno should buy a juice bar if he is so keen on squeezing the last drops of juice out of the lemon.
Morris and Gal. 26 weeks against young bucks like latrell and that broncos pack.

Dugan wont play more than 10 weeks.

Katoa. Meh.

Sorenson and Capewell. Not for a team looking for top 4.

Our halves arent threatening enuff for NRL top 4.

Where will our points come from?

Ramien huge loss.

Get on the blower Flange to Jimmy Malone. Make up. Hug it out. Him and Nathans dad will be punching on any day soon. Nobody lays on as many points as Jim. Had pennies sitting in top 4 all year til he busted a hand and they dropped to 6.

Failing that Corey Norman. He has more points than either of our halves.

Pack Val north and get Ben B and Hess.

Whatever...mix it up. That squad has a look of boring as bats about it.

Frenz apparently surgery not needed, having concerns about this already, i am thinking if has surgery does that take out huge chunck of season, and as its his last, he will battle the pain and try to get through season carrying injury

The same ones from this year's top 4 side?

Weak back row because players like Capewell and Bakuya have not got that extra class that is needed. Besides Capewell being the weakest player in the squad Bakuya likes a bludge and will Never be a player as good as Lewis. Get rid of them

I'm pretty sure he meant we don't have the halves to get past a prelim. And he is right as its been the main issue for the past few seasons.

Well he said "NRL top 4" so I'm just gonna go with what he said rather than what he might have meant.

 

[Ads]

Rumblings we are looking at Fitzgibbon from the Knights but probably a ploy for more money up there.

 

[Pot Odds]

Really not sure why halves are bagged.Chad puts in a nicely weighted kick in the first half to put lee in,Moylan gives Val an inside ball who then puts it on Dugans chest and he drops it with the tryline begging. Had more than enough chances to put the Chooks away we win that and get the week off and its a different comp.

Settle petal.

Good enough to get us there.
For a top 4 side they dont have whatittakes to go further.

Yeah. What Txta said.

Fair enough mate.

Most of your post didn't imply we were even good enough to get to a prelim. While I'd love to win it every year, making a prelim is still a pretty good season.

Like @Pot Odds correctly pointed out we created plenty of opportunities against the Chooks. Win that and go to prelim healthy.. who knows

 

[carcharias]

Same ones that beat Maloney 3 times?
