First time for everything?
It’s only partially true.

Jets gave up 9 tries in the finals. 4 were from kicks and 2 were Iro being a turnstile.

Sure - get Klemmer if the price is right. He’s great. Nothing wrong with the performances of those other two for the Jets though.

The biggest factor for the Jets going out in straight sets was scheduling. Panthers game was played after Panthers NRL but before the Sharks. Bulldogs game clashed with Sharks game. This meant that for both games the Jets sat out several players (mostly backs) on standby for NRL, but their opposition was full strength.

Imo we need Klemmer!!!
We have either short stint impact props who really haven’t delivered on a consistent bases or high work rate small defensive props who fail to dominate the ruck against the better teams.
We need an inforcer who can demand respect and dominate for the others to shine in their rolls.

It's how it goes in NSW Cup. It's always won by the team who is least NRL-effected.

This season was only the second time that a team won the NSW Cup when their NRL team was still playing after week 2 finals. Panthers got very lucky with their schedule. They had to sit out players in week 1 (non-elimination) but were close to full-strength after that.

Every club’s biggest flight risk and player set to cash in as 190 stars hit open market

CRONULLA SHARKS — 12 off-contract players

Off-contract: Jayden Berrell, Wade Graham, Mawene Hiroti, Royce Hunt, Matt Ikuvalu, Sione Katoa, William Kennedy, Lachlan Miller, Jesse Ramien, Siosifa Talakai, Braydon Trindall, Teig Wilton

Biggest flight risk: Lachlan Miller.

The former Rugby Sevens star showed he has the talent to compete in the NRL last season, featuring in seven games. The 28-year-old scored a stunning try on debut against the Titans, but later fell behind young gun Kade Dykes in the fullback pecking order. With Will Kennedy the club’s first choice No.1, Miller may need to look for an exit.

Biggest pay rise: Siosifa Talakai.

The 25-year-old bulldozing centre had a breakout year and was one of the competition’s best backs, earning a NSW Blues debut in the process. Talakai is set for a significant payrise with his current contract sitting at $300,000 according to The Daily Telegraph’s Buzz Rothfield. Rival clubs will be circling the dynamic ball runner and the Sharks have a salary cap headache on their hands.

Almost locked in: Siosifa Talakai.

According to The Daily Telegraph’s Brent Read, Cronulla have been negotiating a new deal with Talakai’s management for “ages”. “The Sharks have been talking to him ages about trying to get a new deal done, they put it off during Origin but they’ve ramped them up again” Read said in August. Talakai is yet to re-sign with the Sharks but the club will be desperate to get a deal done.

Sharkies should have a chat to Liam Knight. Underrated, injury free cld be a gd pickup.

He's a good player but I wouldn't say injury free. He's had about 450 concussions.

Mind you, they probably all have.

Yep - consider Klem at the right price - but the 2 boys mentioned have upside - particularly Jesse …

I'd want to keep Royce Hunt unless his management wanted overs.
Agree. I'd sooner send BHU packing if we could afford to lose props, which we can't. Geez his defence was bad in the semis. Perhaps he had a pec injury hangover.

Hoping they all come back with all their ailments fixed and start the year 100% fit. They can all have the benefit of the doubt till we see them 100% fit.

Look how well Moylan went going into a year fully fit :)
