Gameday Sharks v Warriors - [Round 14, 2025]

[BabylonPink]

TMM is Halves cover , hooker cover, fullback cover, 13 cover.

He's a utility. he's not a tandem 9.

 

[rugged]

And somehow fans are scripting positives out of this....despite that the 2025 Sharks are even stronger than the 2024 version.

At this time last year the Sharks were in 2nd at 10 and 3 - so am not sure they are really stronger this year. They are hot and cold - they should be feared and we need to play well to win - but if we do it won't be a miracle

Warriors by 2 or 4.

Ford's got the short kicking game we need to nail this one.

Er, I'da thunk naming him hooker cover means he is a tandem 9.

If you're a Utility who can't change positions on the field given certain situations/circumstances, you're not a Utility and I'm not having you on my team because you've just said you're not a Utility, you're a I Play Position A Player and I've already got 3 of those on my Interchange, thanks!

Yeah ok , but he isn't like a dedicated 9 who plays 30 40 odd for Egan because Egan can't do 80. sure he might do 10 or 15 if Egan needs a rest or more if he HIAs but I think he's there to cover Charnze , Luke , Chanel and Erin to a lesser extent

They won't be cold this week eh, too much on the line for ladder position.

It is really still about our outs.and not what is going.on at shark park.

I’m still weirdly confident, don’t underestimate our resilience this year.. ford to work hard enough to cover Barney, Healey has enough pace and power to cover Egan.. just need JFH, Marata and Clarke to bully AFB & co. I think we can do it. Their centers v ours worry me however

They were 9-1 or something to start the season, both years they beat the storm, this year is obviously way more inconsistent in the first half of the season

 

[Old Sid]

Of course we'll miss Egan, but Healey is a good replacement. I believe we'll see Healey then CHT spelling him, with TMM into 6 at that time. Don't forget, no Rudolf or Hazleton for the Sharkies too as well as no Mulitalo. I'm backing our boys for a good win here.

 

[CWC]

Hadn't thought of that. Healey off the bench would be my preference but he had a few rushes of blood to the head against the Cowboys (the hospital pass followed by a 7-tackle set on the chip & chase) so starting him might be a better option after all

Ya probably better with him starting and TMM hooker for the final 20 with a calm head. I hope he (Healey) just moves the ball unless Clark/Luke told him to run

Interesting Holic mentioned the social post about TMM for CHT, turns out it’s Healey for Egan lol

Someone must be feeding him pork pies, probably geepee again

 

[BabylonPink]

Oh Wayde's out , I get what everyone's saying now. fuck.

 

[rugged]

Imagine if we were playing them last year.....then we give them AFB ....and we drop Barnett and Egan off our side.

Don’t forget that Barnett and JFH may be our spiritual leaders but Clark is the alpha in our pack.

Ford is going to be vital as well on d

We have had a few on here over the years, Iron Lion. There is a newbie on here who continually bets against us and full of negativity.
Still miss "Bruce" though.

I don't forget all those machinations either, my glass half full brain rapidly does the same calculations.

Still, I cannot shake the 'don't hit me in the face' feeling that this game smells of.

and I thought AFB was a scary prospect….

If we’re both half cut I can tolerate her wanting to discuss some irrelevant nonsense in the background while I’m trying to watch the TV

 

[Playdaball]

I wonder who Cronulla legend, Mitch Healey will be cheering for tonight ???

 

[Playdaball]

If TMM is subbing on for a hooker for over 15-20 mins then i think lussick is a much better option. Nor do i think he's trained his body for that long of a stint in the middle, plus it removes him from the reason he is on the bench, backs cover...

Is that a joke ??
