Vs Warriors

[2012....Sharks Year]

Unleash the beast Tapuha off the bench I reckon

Dykes is a bit of a tissue isn’t he.

Dykes is a bit of a tissue isn’t he.

Kid can't catch a break unfortunately. Hopefully he gets the chance to reach his potential at some point.

 

[R-15-3]

Hamstrings after an ACL are very very common. Better now than mid season as long as we don’t rush the rehab.

 

[Stake Removed]

JC min 8 weeks
Dykes 2-4 weeks, didn't his dad have hamstring issues struggling to remember back that far

Kade seem to be as brittle as his old man Adam was

JC and Dykes were never playing round 1 with all fit, so no big loss in reality.

Craigshark nailed the team with the first post on this thread - If Toby is a doubt, then I’m guessing Tapuha gets a bench spot, or Iro as a utility.. either way, we’re going in not far from full strength.

May as well try and guess the team list for round 1, it’s getting close enough. Think it’ll be pretty similar to our trial team against the dogs.

1. Kennedy
2. Katoa
3. Ramien
4. Talakai
5. Mulitalo
6. Trindall
7. Hynes
8. Kaufusi
9. Brailey
10. Hunt
11. Nikora
12. Wilton
13. McInnes

14. Williams
15. Finucane
16. Rudolf
17. Hazelton

I wouldn’t mind seeing Hau Tapuha get a run. I like Hazelton, but I feel like he sort of gets his spot now on the whole cult hero type thing. I’m guessing Uele will still be injured? Iro is hopefully next man up in the backs. Deserves a proper shot.

JC was a certainty for the bench.

Surely not if Toby was fit? Can’t imagine he would have been picked over Williams, Toby, Hazo and Dale (presuming OK and Hunt start)

Missed it by two bones.
Not a Lis franc but still a potential season ended.
Ferris missed a whole year with a similar injury

I do remember him wading in a pool to make a semis game sometime in the late 90's

WTF?? That'd be ass bones if it was a bench. What a dumbarse, can't even sit on a bench.

His knee was buggered from memory sitting in the hyperbaric chamber, icing it like a madman. Played and won that weekend - against who, I’m too old to remember, but we were sweating on him.

I couldn't remember either, but it was against the Broncos, Paul Mellor scoring 3 tries, https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/seasons/nrl-2001/qualifying-final/sharks-vs-brisbane/summary.html

I kid you not.
