Sharks v Eel

[Mr Angry]

Otherwise, what is the point of naming a 21 man squad in the first place?

For Gamblers, not fans, the NRL caving into to gambling companies.

 

[Frenzy.]

We fans care. The point is that Cronulla's original 14 - 21 did not contain a specialist half. That's probably poor planning, and should not be rewarded by special dispensation. Otherwise, what is the point of naming a 21 man squad in the first place?Anyway, good luck for tonight. Hope it's a good game.

Stop whingeing Ivor.

A leg injury suffered in the Sharks scrimmage session earlier this week has failed to heal sufficiently, with Matt Moylan ruled out of the Sharks team for the game against the Eels on Saturday night.

It had been hoped Moylan would recover in time to play, however his late withdrawal has resulted in Trent Hodkinson being included in the Sharks 21-man squad.

The star five-eighth suffered the injury at training on Wednesday night and the club has been given an exemption by NRL head of football Brian Canavan to bring Hodkinson into the side.

The Sharks did not name Hodkinson in their 21-man squad on Tuesday night but he will be allowed to make his first Telstra Premiership appearance in Sharks colours.

The Club was allowed to make the late inclusion because Canavan was comfortable that "a rigorous process was applied in ensuring the right outcome was reached".

The Sharks were allowed to make the late inclusion because Moylan was not carrying a pre-existing injury and they had no players in their original squad who could be used to fill in his position in the halves.

The decision not to originally include Hodkinson in the 21-man squad also involved the injury clouds surrounding Luke Lewis and Paul Gallen, with coach Shane Flanagan needing forwards on his interchange and reserves bench to cover for their potential loss.

While Lewis is unlikely to be fit to play, Gallen trained today at the Sharks Captain’s run and looks set to take his place in the team tomorrow night

Has anyone tried the new streaming NRL for this year? Thoughts?

UPDATE: Just nipped overseas to check it out. Quality looks great no cast option but that's fine.

Ironically the first time it's had errors was at the start of this game. If you cast from Google Chrome and set it to fullscreen it'll work a treat.

 

[Card Shark]

Holmes..dear oh dear.

That was cat defence!

 

[Inferno]

They're on the f**king rack. Stupid decision.

Yeah and they were not even errors hey. Watched on desktop and can confirm no cast icon in Chrome for me. Further investigation to come. Great stream great win happy days.

Yes this. He is a pure bred cat too absolutely no mongrel in him. Very good winger though can find the line when he's on as we know.

Needs to learn mongrel.

well I'm a Hodgo fan. In the 13 to replace Chad. Also Paulo is great of the bench.

 

[carcharias]

Trent Hodkinson

Ey
Ey
Ey?

I watched a trail and he was the dude that impressed me the most

Just bloody solid.
Keep him there

 

[Card Shark]

Hodkinson will get better too, with a couple of games under the belt & a bit of confidence.

 

[Griffoshark66]

Hodko needs to stay. All of his kicks hit the grass and he cut everyone in half who ran at him. Great debut.

 

[M2D2]

f**k im glad i decided to not watch this one.

 

[carcharias]

f**k im glad i decided to not watch this one.

They played well
Fif dropped one cold and didn’t smile
Defence was solid
Gave away f**k all penalties

Ennis mentioned if they get that stuff right and the attack will come
I reckon he is spot on

 

[Card Shark]

Fif dropped one cold and didn’t smile

I noticed this too, big turning point i thought.

I thought we played well too - can do a lot better but we controlled the game well & Eels were 10 times better than last week.

We still did some stupid things but hopefully we can eradicate that from our game.

I want to watch every sharks game & never want to miss a win!

 

[Stake Removed]

We still have problems catching ball from restarts 2 occassions.

CT throws ball 2 yards forward to Fifita, he should have ran himself.
Dugan pass straight to Fifita drops it cold, both these from restarts.

Capewell penalised, and he deserved it how he got off tackler.
CT penalised twice again, he is starting to give away too many penalties

Hindsight - Chad holds on to the ball, then passes to the next forward...
I’m thinking that Duge’s pass was not great, but Fifs definitely took his eyes off the ball!

 

[Special K]

Yes this. He is a pure bred cat too absolutely no mongrel in him. Very good winger though can find the line when he's on as we know.

What are you talking about? We won a grand final on the back of his aggressive kick returns

 

[Born BB&W]

I am only talking about mongrel in defense... urgency... aggression..body on the line.

Try right clicking on the video and choose cast. That works for me.
