Looks like we'll be a little light in the 2nd row next year.
I reckon Feki could make the switch at some point. 188cm, 100kg, and is always difficult to stop, in fact usually when he takes a hit up all they do is stop him without getting him to ground. He can also produce a powerful run close the defensive line.

Always wondered that myself, 20+ plus tackles might batter n bruise him, does seem like a real goer though.
True you wouldn't switch him now, but down the track depending on our options in the backs, if for example we end up with Barba and Holmes alternating at wing/fb, with Gagan also playing well.
Feki isn't 188cm. That's been a mistake on our website since he signed.
Evidence: find a photo of him standing next to Gordon or Leutele who are both about 180cm.
Feki is a short winger and would be a very short forward.

Switching wing/FB. I don't think Barba will play 6 again personally so they'll need s new role for him.

No way Feki plays in the forwards, just because you have the size doesn't mean you can play backrow.
So you reckon he's under 180. Gal/Bukuya and Arona are all 180, according to the website.
That's true but I actually think his playing style suits it. Remember the guy is a centre masquerading as a winger, and the leap from centre to second row isn't huge. Chris McQueen was a winger.

yeah and so was Luke Lewis and Ben Creagh but I just don't see it. They weren't wingers for very long this will be Feki's third or so year as a winger. I guess we'll see, he is a strong runner of the ball. Defensively it's a totally different ball game though.
Ruben Wiki was probably the most successful.
Every time Fek takes a hit-up he dents the line. It could very well work.
Worth a try to bring in Gagan.
Got to watch Feki versus the Storm and he's got a rump on him like Olsen Filipaina.
If you got bumped by that thing you could seriously end up a few rows back in the stands.
No wonder he's so hard to tackle.

Mate, anyone who outs themselves as a sharks fan can lay claim to being amongst the most optimistic people on the planet!
My prediction - Flanno makes the necessary changes to the 17 for the rest of the year, understanding it's either the players or himself for the chopping block, and we end the season at a respectable, but not impressive, position on the ladder. This leads to grudging respect from all concerned, and we finally land a marquee player for 2016 or 2017 ( depending on contractual situations).
Sharks ftw.

we have been told to reinstate him (if he is willing) and organize the exit of his contract or he can go to another nrl club but we still have to pay for his exit by the nrl (should he want to come home) seems like a no brainer to me
