Side for Sharks Game

[Chook]

Mate at least give Watson some proper game time. I can't understand why Robbo under utilizes his bench. Watson looks ready to get his hands dirty. I say give the kid a fair crack. Maybe poor Jake gets upset he doesn't play 80 but his form this year does not warrant it. Watson should get at least 20 quality minutes in my humble opinion

100%. Watson adds some much needed spark. He's quick enough to make something happen for someone else, something Friend appears unable to do consistently.

Chook.

Hastings future is at 9 imo. He is too slow and not creative enough to counter the lack of speed.

I would love to see Watson start at 6.

Hastings future isn't at the club by the look of it. The fact he's been dropped this week makes me think there may be some developments in his contract negotiations.

I was going to include 'at another club' but i think we all know that by now.

He's missed the June 30 deadline so maybe spending some time with Wyong.

Why would we want slow dummy half who can't run the ball? We already have one of those.

Oh god!

His future is at 9 imo AT ANOTHER CLUB brother man.

Maybe the Storm.

Bellamy and Smith can start grooming him for when Smiff retires.

Things are not what they seem.. That team will not run out... Trents timing of our bench rotation will cost us again....

[Guest]

Surely if Guerra only plays 20 minutes on Wednesday night he can back up. I wouldn't think fatigue would be a bid issue for Fergo either considering his limited input and non-existant defence.

Why is Fergo so in affective since joining this club? Why was Fergo so dangerous at his previous clubs?? Why is our current coaching staff still employed by this club???

[Guest]

Has Hastings been dropped or is he injured?

Have you considered modelling?

[Guest]

Hastings must be dropped.

And our origin players get a rest.

I thought we would beat them but without Guerra and Fergo, who have both been massive underachievers this season, I'm not as confident.

LOL. Yeh.. so they will be fresh for the finals...

o

no, because they have been playing sh!t for us, its plain to see. We have a better chance without them at this stage

[takethe 2]

If Hastings is injured to the extent that he cant kick penalties and cant run, then he should have been rested earlier. We must be the only NRL team with a 5/8 that cant run.

[Johnny.]

That team is bullshit and the coach is bullshit. A halfback who should be in the centres and a 5/8th who's a second rower.

Is Laurie Daley picking the side....oh wait, there aboriginals in the side so it can't be.

Sharks by 20+ with Maloney having a man of the match performance showing what a bunch of dickheads run the club.

Well matto definitely adds more in attack, with his ball running and variety of kicks, not to mention he is actually solid in D. Robbo has probably realised we won't need Hastings boot for conversions like last week, considering it probably won't be a tight game again. Meaning let inconsistent SST have a crack, bc a missed conversion or two won't lose us a game. Besides, Matto has obvs been close to inclusion, and SoH under pressure to perform, otherwise they wouldn't have named the 18 man squad, and just announced the 17 without Ryan in it.

As for Fergo and Guerra, I hope they are exhausted and need a looooonnnng rest, keen to see Joey Manu have another crack, would take him any day over Fergo atm. The best part is, he doesn't rush the line every set, and can actually defend!!!1!!11!! Besides he must be flying high after that try saver, not to mention being named in the Team of the Week

[nikottam]

In saying that, I wouldnt mind seeing Watson have a crack at 5/8, and have a feeling we will see that happen before seasons end. And in that case, after hearing him on roosters radio last week, won't be surprised if Nikorima is back in as a utility in the final couple of rounds. But either way, SOMEONE GIVE CONNOR FREAKING WATSON MORE THAN 4 MINUTES. I mean dylan walker got double that in SOO 1!!!!

I am tempted to name him in the Roosters team of the decade on that effort man. The only problem it is the decade from 2016 until 2025.
