We've talked about it. Now it has to happen by the look of things. Who will be FB?

I still think Gards played well last night and has the potential to be a great fb. We have seen what he can do when he is on. I just like the guy and the idea of having a young guy in a fixed position for our future.

But that is beside the point. Fact is he is gone for probably the season. (Have to ask him if he considers it tragic or not)

As much as I know Carney can handle the 1, I'd prefer to leave him where he is. 4 wins in a row with him at 6. Just seems silly to stir the pot.

You blokes astound me.
TC started in the 7, we lambasted Phlanno saying he needed to wear the 6 with a directing 7. So Phlanno makes the switch - Robson to 7, TC to 6. We win 4 on the trot against some decent opposition and now you want to move TC to 1.

Don't break up a winning formula. Hot Dogs can go to 1.

TC is a 6.

Agree. Find a fullback from NSW cup or 1 of our current wingers.

Carney and Robson are working, I'd leave that as is. Other options - Williams or Mills - No - can't beat a man albeit they would be reasonably safe - no thrust. I'd like to see Stapo back in, if fit. Gordon is OK, but Mills could be anything. Could try Pickerd but there's a HUGE jump from NYC to NRL.

Cant believe folks here are suggesting Matt Wright, surely Flanno wont do that.

Wish Ike was back, not sure we have anyone else that can fill the role, hard call for Flanno, I would be relucatant to break a combo that has worked so well but I think Carney has to go to fullback till Ike or StaPo are back.

Gardner made the huge jump. I think pickerd has been a better nyc player than Gards was.

Give Hot Dog a go - he was safe under the high ball last night and had some pressure kicks coming at him! He has a footy brain and would be better positionaly than Gards.

The reason Carney is 6, he is our attacking captain, from 6.

Work around that. Wright will be 1.

Pickerd is ordinary as a fullback. Rank ordinary.

First year in NYC and played ALL his previous football as a centre.

Nowhere near ready to make the jump after 6 games as a FB in NYC. Most of which have been next to awful.

When will Sharks fans work out you don't choose people on flash and try scoring ability alone. Get over that thinking. It's loser thinking.

Why not. I'll guarantee you he is the B Plan. When he was dropped to reggaes he didn't go back and play wing. He went to FB and he did well.

He hasn't done anything wrong since he came back into the NRL.

He deserves a chance if that's how they go

Everyone seems to be saying can't move Carney because it'll wreck our attack.

I'm asking what attack, we average 14 points a game.

He doesn't need a ball player to run off he needs to be running off our forwards and it doesn't matter if its 6 or 1 on his jumper.

Never weaken one position to strengthen another.

Anybody else in the halves except TC runs the risk of us reverting back to the Sharks pre-2012.

i went there briefly in my head and was drooling in the foetal position within a minute.
