Team vs Souths

[Frenzy.]

A lot better than that to be honest. In fact he was playing origin very quickly.

Not so quickly. 2 years after his debut.

He was woeful too.

are the Storm NSW Cup players from last year who now play for the Sharks due to the merger between Melbourne and Cronulla NSW Cup teams in the offseason, allowed to play for the Sharks?

If so, I'd have Kostjasyn at hooker ahead of Aiton and Morris

I agree with Ike over Stapo. Some people here have said he doesn't run the mid lines off pigs but they have short memories of Ike. He was the only one running those lines last year.

My doubt on Ike is how he'll go 250kgs of the Taylor/Burgess express getting loose on him. Not to mention how he'll go under those bombs from Sutton that hit the stratosphere. Also have some doubts on his kick returns and if he can get the yards

I agree with you Frenzy about Ike running the mid lines off the pigs. I think that he will be more affective doing it from fullback than what he would be doing it from the wing. He has been doing it in the couple of games that I have seen him play in NSW Cup. The other thing about Ike is that he is still to some extend an unknown quantity to opposing teams and that may work to our advantage. Oppostion defences are starting to sweat on Gards getting the ball now. On the 250kg of Taylor etc running at him, Gards would have had the same problem.

Dunno if we will win, but, we are a better team than the one that played the Cowboys last Saturday night. Having 17 on 17 this week instead of 15 on 17 like it was last week will make for a fairer contest
