Sharks lower grade games

[R-15-3]

Pollard, Veaila and Leiu can’t contain them.
Conceding 100m sets when they run to our right side edge.

Dykes will need 8-10 weeks till he gets his head and body right, looks ok in attack but you can see he is hesitant putting his body on the line in defence and his fitness is telling on his positioning in defence.

JC was puffed after 15 but did work very hard in that time lots of back to back tackles and hands on the ball a lot. ( Better than BHU already )

Hohepa is trying a bit to hard to impress but the work and quality is there. Should be 14 next week in place of Atkinson

Trey Mooney to the bin for a merkin act on Disco after he dropped a bomb.

Great little grubber by Hohepa followed by 4 name man for a try.

Thanks merkin!

Raiders 14-18

Jets get a penalty and are already on half way after a good N Puru kick

Bitta Dykes magic ends in.................................. nothing

A turnover from the next play to see Raiders go 100 and score.

At least dykes still has his foot work

Raiders now 14-24

Yeah, his agility seems intact. Was stepping on both feet during that run.

Mr Creosote on report for a lazy shoulder tackle.

 

[Frenzy.]

The Jets treat Noah Martin like he has spiders on him.

 

[Frenzy.]

This is not going to be a Jets scrapbook game. They can't do a thing right.

 

[Frenzy.]

Whereas the Raiders can do no wrong.

That try they just scored was out of a top hat

Yep. Another party trick try

Raiders 42-14 fulltime.

+ves

Colquhoun played big minutes. Got gassed early but kep coming back and was making efforts right to the end,

Dykes got through. Still has his foot skills, swerve and smarts. Looks thin to me. ? underconditioned. He's been out s long time.

Micky G convinced he doea have speed. A lot of it. Even after his 2 tries last week after showing impressive speed off the mark I was doubting. But the way he blew the Raiders away on a 50 metre run to score after backing up Puru he has pure speed over a distance as well.

Berrell is so whole hearted and seems to have the BBQ ability to flush errors and come back from them.

Nothing much else impressed me this week

Appreciate the commentary @Frenzy & @R-15-3 The return of JC will be a game changer

JC probably needs 2-4 more games for the Jets but if desperate could do the 15 min bench roll next week.
But best to get him up to 65min for the jets week in week out first.

 

[shadowboxer]

I can’t see them rushing JC back till he is ready. Funny though, my personal intel is that he is chomping to get back. I’d rather he get back for solid year end. Can’t wait

I would really like to Berrell get a game over Brailey. It just feels like Berrell has more creativity and with the Sharks halves being dogshit the team has to rely on the hooker to create - that’s not Brailey’s game.

I can't see Berrell being a superior choice to Brailey.
