Team vs Manly

[Craigshark]

Nikora was a massive out last night, will be good with him returning, finucane gone is massive but I have faith we will play well I reckon fitzy will put a rocket up em.

I hope so.. the short turn around will hurt us a bit though, especially with how physical that game was. Players like Talakai will take a few days to recover from that you’d think.

From what I've heard, the players do not mind the short turn arounds as there is not as much training throughout the week, and they just get to play.
Our problem will depend on how many players are out, and if new combos have to be formed. That means a few training sessions that would not have been necessary if the same squad was playing.

Kennedy- Miller
Katoa- Ika- Iro

Talakai
Moylan
Nicho
Fifita
Braily

Maybe our Fullbacks can bring back the mini-series.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Looking good their last two outings without TT.
SHONKS in big trouble.
Starting now, and have only
just played one top 4 team.

Another alias. Nice.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Someone needs to get a life..... tedious.

 

[Stake Removed]

We won after last 5 day turnaround we best Parra at the death a top 4 team, then backed it up against Dragons in the wet no difference this time

 

[Mr Angry]

So we lost to Melbourne in the shyte hole that is Melbourne, Victorians do not care, Ryan Dirt is just another fargwit looking at the Ford factory when he roams around Geelong.

Munster cleans pools on Toorak road, Nelson is a thug for hire in the underworld as no one knows him.

The 17 for the storm gets paid to hold blokes down in prison whilst getting arse raped.

Make no mistake Bellyache is the prison warden, he likes his players wrestling to the f**k.

 

[sladden road]

Sharks 2022 - also ran.

Mr. Why are you so angry?

 

[roboshark]

Hope Manly have a few outs

 

[Stake Removed]

Manly have 2 very inexperienced backs in Tuipuloto and Koula, no matter who we have in the backs unless we bring up debutant we will have them covered, we should be able to explot them.
Garrick is not a fullback usually on wing, Parker is not s atandout, and Panthers showed how to handle Saab.
There backline is no threat

 

[Cheese sandwich]

That backrower of theirs, Olakau'atu, looks like he'll be a real decent player.

 

[tye]

Will they have the same amount of team changes? That is my point. It looks like we will have some major changes.

Yes they have the same issues, Marty Tapou will be missing due to covid & Keppie failed HIA so he is in the same boat as Dale.

 

[Poss]

Sean Keppie and Josh Aloiai - starting props for Manly, are apparently in doubt as well. Might help lessen the blow of Uele and Dale. This article also says that Nikora will still be in isolation?

The beachside clubs have both been put under the injury hammer.

[shaggs]

I wonder when nikora tested positive?

 

[PJ]

Sharks 2022 - also ran.

Maybe, in fact probably, but improving.

 

[PJ]

If the HIA protocols are 5 days, teams should not be allowed 5 day turn arounds

 

[R-15-3]

Dale has had his fair share of head knocks probably not the worst thing it’s 5 days and can’t play.

 

[Poss]

Nikora will be out of iso on Monday according to the man himself.


Nikora also alleviated any fears that he would miss a second successive week due to health and safety protocols after contracting Covid during the week, claiming “I will be out of isolation on Monday".


Should the 24-year-old prove fit to return to first-grade, it would make a welcome piece of news for Fitzgibbon following the commission of proper pairing Dale Finucane (concussion) and Braden Hamlin-Uele (pectoral tear).


The Sharks will host Manly in Round 7 on Thursday night, with the visitors likely to be without Sean Keppie and Josh Aloiai following a pair of collision-based injuries sustained against the Titans.

"I would love to stay here. But I also have to think about what is best for myself and my family at this stage of my career."

[BatteredFlake]

If those two are back I have more hope.
BHU and Finucane are huge losses.
I'm also concerned with WK, he look battered up there at the end.

Better than Crumbed!

 

[Craigshark]

So Finucane passed the HIA but was ruled out by the independent doctor. Does this change anything for this week?
