Official Blayke Brailey

[Sparkles]

What’s the blu tack in the ear do ?

Stops him hearing Nicho calling for the ball

 

[Wizard]

Brailey knows running game must come to fore for Sharks

Blayke Brailey is well aware Cronulla are statistically a far greater chance of winning when he runs out...

“In seven games starting against Penrith, he is yet to even run 20 metres.”

That’s wild

Shows how dominant they are in the ruck and their ability to slow PTB down with wrestle.
Forwards need to be up to this challenge, and be prepared to milk penalties if need be

Yes it's SO easy for them and Storm to time their wrestle and PUSH boundaries . ( eg wrestle , hands on the ball , hear release then count to 3 to actually release )
REF should lay down the law early , blow some penalties , then back right off when decent play the ball speeds return .
This is what made to Cowboys vs Sharks final ENJOYABLE .

Yea but also Brailey wasn't running as much prior to this season, not as effectively anyway. If he's in his shell this weekend it's a very bad sign for him and the team because it means we are getting done over in the ruck and we really will need some special runs from him out of dummy half

 

[SharkShocked]

I'm still waiting to see the Ennis style kick out of dummy half when the play the ball is on the opposition goal line like he used to. Had a few try assists like that.

Bloke can only run if the forwards do their job to allow him the momentum to run off.

That's why AFB will be massive for next year. With a bit of luck a healthy and in form BHU to go along with it.

He's never been a player who will run out of dummy half off the back foot and create something. There a very few hookers who could, maybe Grant and a prime Cook. Hopefully the boys can roll forward for him and give him some great opportunities.

Not easy but if we are getting rolled we will need him and the halves to at least try something, not just keep going through the motions awaiting an opportunity that may never present itself

Put an earpiece in there direct to Fitz.

If he tries to run when we are on the backfoot he'll just end up on his back.

Yep, snatched up squeezed and turtled by the markers and A defender

Maybe halves try something like earlier kick or spread. Or forwards get a bit more ball movement in them. Maybe one forward just decided '**** you' and earns a quick ptb themselves

Any of those are better odds than Blayke running for the sake of it off a slow PTB

 

[MMsharks]

this better brailey will be crucial this weekend, and that he puts his mark on the game in a positive way

hope he continues to dart out and run.

For sure. I think his selection of which half to go to will be a big factor, too. They were both constantly after the ball last week and Brailey was making the decision about which way to play

 

[BrickMan]

Had 1 good run and defended well. This year was massive for him. Can’t wait to see him off the back of AFB

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

Brailey has had a fantastic year. He will be even better next year.

Yeah one fantastic run

The ptb speed was telling he struggled to find another chance

 

[Sparkles]

If we lock up Blayke, Tricky, Nicho and... Will...? for the long term, we're on our way to a long run of success

 

[djhabib]

Our best player for this season. Majority of good things we did came off the back of him.

Its a decent spine, even more now with some experience in finals and big games.

What's great is that they all have the potential to grow and elevate their game. WK needs a bit of pressure though.

Yep, saw his biggest step up in development when Tracey was on his tail
