He already has. From the bench.

So what you’re saying is you want to turn a bloke whose best position is halfback and play him at 13 off the bench for 10-15 minutes each week?

Second best.
There‘s this other guy.

Mick, Nick, Nicho Hynes or something, I think!

Dylan Brown is not worth what the Eels paid him.
Does not do anywhere near enough to be on the close to a mil. But eels paid it.

Jerome Luai is pretty much the same player. Not worth more than an 600k imo. But some club out there will offer him ridiculous money and come to regret it.

Yep, Brown is way overpaid, does SFA.

Tricky a better half back then hynes, Bahahahaha that's the stupidest thing ever posted on this forum

I think what frenzy was eluding to was down the track starting tricky at 13 if dykes can fill the 6 role

I don’t think he specified the minutes.

The issue with Trindall off the bench so far has been that it has been a bit of a waste of a spot. Imo if he was actually developed into a smaller ballplaying middle as part of the game plan he could be successful.

There are otter guys playing back row in the NRL who started as halves, so it’s not like it is a crazy idea. E.g. Wade, Matterson, Watson.

Also - someone’s “best position” is completely irrelevant. What matters is how they can best help the team.

I don't think it's best for the team at this stage for Tricky to be anywhere near the 13. This year, I think Wade can fill that role much better.

Leading into next year, we are at the back of Moylans contract, and we need to be thinking about who is a long term halves partner for Nicho. I'd rather Tricky have continued to develop his game at 7 to see if he's the guy.

Also on a personal level, there are multiple sides that would sign Tricky and potentially have him in first grade at 7 this year. His potential to earn there far outweighs anything as a bench middle, so I don't think it would be the right call by him either.

Not that I think he's not capable, just I don't think it would be the best thing for the side short or long term, nor tricky personally.

This is all valid. I’m not saying he should be moved, just that he could be a good player there if given time.

Trindall at 7 and Hynes at 6 is the future, bring him in now, he's ready. Hynes will still be a gun and go to another level racking up dally m points

Moylan 14 off the bench to ball play in the middle, he could carve up when he comes on, like a Watson or D.Walker role.

1. KENNEDY
2. Katoa
3. Ramien
4. Talakai
5. Mulitalo
6. HYNES
7. TRINDALL
8. Kaufusi
9. BRAILEY
10. Finucane
11. Nikora
12. Wilton
13. MCINNIS
14. MOYLAN
15. Graham
16. Hunt
17. Hamlin-Uele

I would prefer Moylan in Jersey 18 if we are running with Tricky in the Halves

Yeah can't disagree with that.

Do you really think Moylan offers that impact at this stage of his career? I think what's keeping him in the side is his contributions to our attacking shape. He's not particulary fast, strong or explosive. I don't see him coming on and turning a game in the 14.

If and when Tricky get's the nod to take over, I think Moylan will be 18th man (or injured). If we were going to run a bench utility in that style, I would lean towards someone like Tracey/Atkinson who would at least come on and back up through the middle constantly with pace.

Regardless though, I think Wade as a middle/utility is the best for us as it allows us to carry 3 extra forwards.

BurgoShark · Apr 17, 2023

Why does BHU get put on the bench in this scenario? He is easily the best healthy prop in the team.

Also - McInnes is not a ballplayer by any definition. He is good at tip-on plays, but that's it. He might be a good option to be throwing that first pass from 13 if you want the team to play like other teams (i.e. Brisbane), but I want them to play like the Sharks.

Didn’t know the NRL went co-Ed?

Quincy Dodd has become the Sharks first official NRLW signing ahead of their inaugural season in the elite level women’s competition.

That will most likely be 2025 when Moylan has been moved on

Proud Shark said:

I prefer those options at utility and for the role, but to keep Moylan in the 17 (he'd never play reserve grade) give him another role/position. Still think he could be effective there, still has a bit of speed and can test tired forwards

BurgoShark said:

Compared to the other lock options he can be, if given the role every week to work on. Wade is an option but i dont think he's up for it, slowed down and looks more suited for simple work when in the middle

BurgoShark said:

Either BHU or Kaufusi start, i put BHU on the bench for impact if he comes on firing
