my only concern for us is how no one knew we were mathematical chance of elimination

thought chad was brilliant for us, cleeland looks the goods as well. aggressive little prick and a top notch defender

thought jordan drew looked absolute mud, capewell looked ok

bird went well but was a liability in the raiders game

barba is easily our most dangerous, broken field runner

not much has changed in terms of squad selection but come round one flanno needs to find a way for barba, val and bird to be in the team

Flanno did know, I watched his day 1 wrap up interview where he talks about the for and against etc for some reason he thought we could do it without the boys he rested. ****ty call.

The boys who fox sports were rested due to a few niggles? Would you prefer we made the quarters and lost townsend for a month or 2 with a hammy tear or something? No point risking any player in that tournament

Agree. No injuries in something like this is all I care about.

Not sure whether its been mentioned and maybe not many watched non sharks games but from being there, the Young guy Curtis that switched to storm and played fullback did well for them. Might prove me wrong. Plus I thought the little blonde guy for us was good, what is his name someone please?

Why can't Barba play a full game? Pretty sure he's done it at some stage before in his career.

He can still play a full game, just not a good one. And he is injury prone. My main concern is head TBH. I just don't think he knows how to win anymore. He plays well when it doesn't matter or less is expected of him. I don't want a guy like that playing fullback.
