I mean, I'd take it, but it sounds stressful.
As opposed to a normal sharks game every other week mate?
Had a glance at the much talked about Cowboys forum, one bloke already blaming a biased ref for helping us win!
It's all so familiar haha
Whoever the ref is, the calls will only go our way cause home game or something
If that’s the case I would bring in Atkinson. Give Talakai Williams minutes. Don’t need 4 forwards on the bench at the moment with Talakai there imo.
Big Cows pack though and BHU not long back from injury. Rufolf too for that matter. I'm ok with 4 forwards. Maybe Stonestreet can come in and do some magic around the ruck on occasion.
Hiroti was fallen in the pecking order then
Sadly for Hiroti, who I feel has been a big improver last 2 years I think he might be a career depth guy and was never really earmarked for a regular Sharks spot IMO. It's only going to get harder for Hiroti with the young blokes coming up as Stonestreet has now jumped him too it seems.
Fitz could have put Hiroti back in the team but guess he decided to bite the bullet and start building Iro now as he has always been a genuine future prospect for us. ofcourse maybe Fitz wasn't happy with Hiroti's form/fitness and it was the opposite for Iro but either way Iro has been too solid to drop back now and this whole Talakai from the bench thing might just work out for us.
