It's probably close to right for what he's worth going off his current form. Leota only plays 40 minutes a game which hurts his value. The best middles in the game that play good minutes are worth 1m imo.

I still think Luai, but otherwise Hynes. I don't think anyone else will get a look in.

If Panther are offering him 850k you'd have to think we'd have to offer at least 1m for him and we're stacked with Kiks and Preston. Saying that, he's a freak and he'll be the best forward in the game if he links up with Panther.

Sezer 4 game ban but no sin bin :D

Expecting 1. Tracey 2. JAC 3. Xerri 4. Crichton 5. Kiraz 6. Burton 7. Hutchison 8. King 9. Mahoney 10. Hughes 11. Kikau 12. Preston 13. Salmon 14. Taaffe 15. Curran 16. Morrin 17. Mann

Dolphin are one of the teams that have conceded the least amount of points so far this year

Flick

I missed that one.

Faamausili's hands really bad. I wouldn't be picking him unless it's between him and Knight.

Wow

Storm got a Reece Walsh ready to go

???? hello

Taaffe is really bad... ffs

He is a bit of a beast tho

Clark running like a second rower

Angus Crichton's probably played himself into the team, especially with injury to Murray.

I can't see us missing the 8 when Manly a team that should be in there...

Paseka doesn't have that dog in him. Curran > Paseka.

Thank god Waddell's someone else's problem. I can't stand the look of him.

Cotric's speed wow

No Tracey hurts a lot, thankfully Koroisau out tho which is a bigger loss

2026 1. Papalii 2. Tracey 3. Xerri 4. Crichton 5. Kiraz 6. Burton 7. Woods 8. King 9. Mahoney 10. Curran 11. Kikau 12. Preston 13. Salmon (coach loves him, could go to the bench switching with Hughes) 14. Morrin 15. Hughes 16. Marshall 17. Todd 18. Seve Players like JAC and Mann will be 2...

Is he good enough for Rooster? Sandon Smith looks like a bigger talent too.

keep the momentum after JFH comes off + Lindsay would be good enough to start for almost every team.

Rabbit CEO sounds like a wanker

Todd > Edwards

Ilias in a similar situation to Sexton when he joined us. I think Gus would do it if he rated him. Sexton won't be extended and we need competition for Hutchison until a kid is ready (ideally Woods, ~2 years away).

There isn't really anyone off contract (big marquees in key roles). They'll need a centre until Manu's back but I don't think that'll be for long. Alamoti, Gagai (already heard them linked with him) and Iro a few centres off contract. Even with their losses outside centre (and probably have a...

his first game was v Rabbit missing half their team. Blake Taaffe carved us up.

We're at this stage and I've been one of the most pessimistic supporters here.

Our forwards have held their own all year and even overperformed. It's going to come down to the spine creating points imo.

Tracey > Xerri/Olam, Galvin > Sezer, King > Klemmer and Preston > Papalii (close so backing our boy).

You'd assume it'll be this with what Ciraldo was going with before the bye + players returning from injury. 1. Tracey 6. Burton 7. Hutchison 9. Mahoney 2. JAC 3. Xerri 4. Crichton 5. Kiraz 8. King 10. Curran 11. Kikau 12. Preston 13. Salmon 14. Taaffe 15. Hughes 16. Morrin 17. Mann There...

It wouldn't be the first time we've signed someone who's going to be out for an extended period, also from the same team.

It didn't take Tommy long to be Shark best middle

He's been doing it since being appointed on NRL 360, nothing to do with Ilias.

I don't know about Ilias. I haven't really rated him but I think he'd also play a lot better in a team where he feels like he's an equal. Rabbit are having massive problems with player power. All the players would get around him here. That's probably one of the best things about what we're building.

It brings the contest closer

We're better than Warrior this year, crazy

forced

Fuller for 3 weeks (will make 100-200k) or Walsh until origin.

He signed with Warrington Wolves

Another club could of offered him a 4 year deal and done the same thing assuming the player wants to medically retire and it's valid. There was a chance when Shark gave him that deal that Finucane would refuse to retire and keep pushing on.

Yeah, he's a smoky. His effort levels much higher than 2 of those guys and I have Murray down as an edge.

I've been looking though NSW's options in the middle (bench) and Curran is a pretty good smoky especially knowing Maguire's style. Eel form ruining Paulo and RCG's chances too. Also we should be locking Curran up long term asap.

A main reason why it was reported/made up is because it's an idea that makes sense. I think half the time journalists or w.e. you call them add 1+1 together for their stories/reports (depends who of course, but especially the lesser known people who have a lower track record). It sparks...

1. Tracey 6. Burton 7. Taaffe 9. Mahoney 2. JAC 3. Xerri 4. Crichton 5. Kiraz 8. King 10. Hughes 11. Kikau 12. Preston 13. Mann 14. Morrin 15. Curran 16. Todd 17. Salmon Taaffe might struggle like Hutch is but I'd like to see how he goes (can easily revert back).

born in Fiji and probably moved over to Australia after the cut off to be eligible.

It hurts a little short term/this year but I think Taaffe and Tracey, and even O'Neill, can play there if Hutch is unplayable. I don't think Sexton is going to be retained after this season so if we can get a short and long term option from it that's pretty beneficial for us.

3 - Mahoney 2 - Curran 1 - Tracey

Ennis levels of output this year

I love how they dropped Cogger for Gamble and started D. Saifiti to try and replicate that performance.

I thought he was 1 of the only halves worse than Flanagan at the club when he was here so I'm not surprised he's been moved from that role.

He had a tough 1st game against Eel and was getting mud minutes. I think since round 5 he's been contributing well.

I think with how we're playing we can beat anyone in the competition. It's just a shame we didn't get the 2 points against Rabbit and Storm because we were the better team. If we can win those games in the future we'll make the 8 this year believe it or not.

1 of Critta or Fox I'd guess

Manly should have to pay every $ that's the difference between Schuster's current contract and whatever else his next club pays.

If we get Mooney I'm all for it

Knight presser going to be fun

That's ridiculous

have to hold them out here or it's been a shit half

So hard to get one

Yeah never pick him again please, how many times...

did you see his big hits in Storm's last try set

We need to strengthen the roster and there's a salary cap where we have to spend 95% of it. The weakest links in our team are in the middle and halves.

NRL is SCREWED with these referees and people in the bunker WTF

I wouldn't be surprised with Panther track record with centres, even Peachey looked good when he played. The Panther system and players around him is going to help his defence a lot. I think he has ability with the ball in hand.

Gagai big out for Knight, especially with that meaning Jenkins comes in who's been pretty bad at Knight so far

Alamoti about to look like a marquee centre.

reportedly 650k.

Lomax doesn't want to be there, nothing to do with Flanagan. Lomax is playing his best football ever under Flanagan.

I just gave the stat's, up to you what you want to interpret from them. Mooney is NRL ready now.

https://shop.bulldogs.com.au/collections/2024-on-field-range?utm_source=bulldogs&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=04-pre-order 2004 jerseys back in stock for those who missed out

He's already Sharks most relied upon prop. I think the ship has sailed now.

Mooney (5 games) ~61 minutes/game 0.8 tries/game 0 try assists/game ~0.8 line breaks/game 5 tackle breaks/game ~76 post contact metres/game 1.2 offloads/game 28 tackles/game 2.4 miss tackles/game ~189 metres/game Todd (6 games) 50 minutes/game 0 tries ~0.2 try assists/game ~0.3 line breaks/game...

Miksrl isn't the most reliable source

probably the best middle running around in reserves atm

Perham pretty much win wage and Edwards not top 30 so you'd think promoting from within.

very different body size and has a big motor

Panther will offer him what he's worth if they want him. They've just let go a prop on 1m.

I think we've shown over the years we ain't willing to do that.

Rooster already extended him unfortunately

off to Knight 3 year deal

I think he's mad in general with our ability to sign a quality middle which is more than fair. This JFH in isolation is a bad e.g. since he was only going to Warrior but there have been plenty of other opportunities over the last few years and we've failed for one reason or another.

Well going on report doesn't mean you're sin binned. It depends on the offence. Hughes' was silly and forceful with intent.

Raider going to ruin my perfect round of tipping...

Brooks was off contract, Tiger chipping in nothing. Knight were after Brooks the year before while he was still contracted - got Hastings instead.

I'm pretty happy with the team outside a couple of positions, halfback and 1 prop. If/when we sort out these positions we'll be a team to be feared again.

How to throw a lead ft. Manly

Prime Corey Waddell right there...

I'm expecting 2-3 wins from that lot. Knight, Tiger and Dragon 50/50. The other 2 a lot harder.

I don't mind Curran coming of the bench because we don't want our middles to lack in quality once the starters come off. I think we should be aiming to always have one of King and Curran on the field.

Carrigan's a bigger body and can do it in the middle for 80 minutes no issue. Curran is effective in the middle for 50-60 minutes. I'd say he's closer to Cotter than Carrigan.

No one from our back 5 can be dropped after this week but I'm not against giving Taaffe a shot in the halves if he has to be in the team.

Half the Storm/Bellamy presser was praising us.

Our 2nd starting prop has been getting mud minutes since the start of the season. It's some strategy Ciraldo's running with.

I think he's improving with his team selections every week. We're getting closer to our best 17. It's just a shame we didn't start the pre-season/season with that. Going into the season I probably had us 1/6 at this point and we're sitting 2/6 and we probably should have 4 wins so we're going...

He's little to no hope from the left close to the side line. In theory that's where we'll score our most tries.

Burton's terrible end of set costing us in the end... so close.
