I have always wondered why he has not been given a go in the 7 jumper in the lower grades. Must be his defence/passing or maybe he just cannot organise.

Apologies if this has already been posted, but saw this today from Buzz. Now whilst I dont want to give him any oxygen, if this is true then FMD.


Sharks could have landed Koroibete
NO wonder Fijian flyer Marika Koroibete had a blinder against the Sharks in Melbourne on Saturday night. He had a point to prove.

When he was released by the Wests Tigers last year, his manager Sam Ayoub went knocking on Cronulla’s door. He wanted to stay in Sydney.

The Sharks said no thanks. Instead they signed veteran Mitch Brown from the Bulldogs.

Recruitment in rugby league is a tough gig.

Some clubs are good at it, some aren’t. It’s one area the Sharks need to improve on.

How they would love to have Chad Townsend back, the local junior they released two years ago. He had a mighty game for the Warriors in the big win over Parramatta on Saturday.

The Sharks have had a terrible start to the season.

They now face a tough month of football against the Titans, Roosters, Knights and Rabbitohs. The pressure is on Shane Flanagan to move Ben Barba from five-eighth and use Jack Bird in the No.6 *jersey against the Titans.

I call crap on this, I seem to recall we did make an offer. Anyway if so can't blame us after the other Fiji Winger racked off on us?!

I'd play him at five-eighth. Always puts in 100% is passionate and is our best attacking option in the club. Flanno hates him though.

If there is a positive he would run more than Barba, don't know what direction though!!!

NRL.com reporting Barba facing 3 week ban for two offences on Saturday. We might end up with a new 5/8 if we like it or not !!!!

Barba is not a natural 5/8 , Jack Bird should be our 5/8 for the interim , push barba back to fullback , holmes and Feki on the wing , Gordon and Leutele centres , and givE Murphy a run at Half , we have nothing to lose.

Barba is not a natural 5/8 so your solution is to put a centre/2nd rower who hasn't played a game of 1sts into 5/8?
