Funny game this one, we're all more interested in the team the opposition names rather than ours.

Yep agree with that HB.

So just to take the opposite tack, I'll put out a team that I'd like to see named for us.

Kennedy
Katoa
Tracey
Ramien
Hiroti (I'm not keen on him but he did an OK job last week and who else is there?)
Moylan
Trindall
Hamlin-Uele
Brailey
Rudolf
Nikora
Wilton
Williams

Bench:

Metcalf
Woods
Tolman
Talakai

I don't think I have missed anyone but someone let me know if I have.

Well my thinking is having Woods on first up makes our middles non existent and they could rack up a score before Uele comes on.

What would be your best prop rotation?

We r limited but reckon Uele has been great off bench, guess we hope Woods can hold them for 1st 20 then let Uele loose. Do agree w Sifa off bench, has dropped a little lately and the impact role will b vital this wk

For what its worth (not much) whackos whispers has Munster, Olam and Pap rested, with addo car obviously injured.

If they get Fincune and Nas back, with Hynes, Hughes, Smith and Grant playing, we are in a lot of trouble.

Yeah we need more out than that, not confident of making the 8 if that eventuates.

Regardless we have more players "Out" than them. Time to Circle the Wagons and play like Fury. They may try to play "Bruise Free" footy. We dangerous to them, nothing to lose.

Agree about Uele but if we opened up against the Broncos in the first 20, just think how we'll be against the Storm if Woods starts.

Tolman needs to start IMO

I wouldn't be against that but just think if we can hold the first 20 with Uele and Rudolf up front then Tolman coming on will bolster us even more.

Yep, Munster, Olam and Pap out is not enough. They are not in the best of form anyway, the others possible starting are more of a threat.

Who can stop Brandon Smith five metres out? I can't think of any Sharks players that could. Not many from other teams as well come to think of it.

.... is that really an accurate statement?

SJ - injured (released)
Fifita - injured
Graham - injured
Mulitalo - injured
Pele - injured (probably)

Hunt - unavailable (presumably)
Dugan - unavailable

I think they mean from last weeks game

A couple of Roosters back too hopefully

Yes we have the same very understrength side available as last week, but we have far from a clean bill of health

Yeah, but if you exclude them, we're fit as a fiddle!

find it hard to believe Melbourne will rest a heap of players.

I'm sure our guys will give it their best.
