I don't think Ikuvalu would be easy to move out of the side when he gets a chance and there are quite a few in the forwards who will be fighting for spots in a healthy squad.I'm all for Ronaldo at centre too .
But , it seems Fitz loves Tracey and he'll get first crack .
Gunna be a REAL interesting year with our depth quality.
Get injured and you may well struggle to get back into the team.
He was a reserve for Roosters too, being a former Rooster shouldn't be an express ticket into our starting line up. Fitz also knows him better than any of our squad so if he doesn't pick him that should tell you he doesn't deserve to be picked.This was the pairing I suggested before the trials but seems we want to go the hard way converting Connor and hoping it works out.
I get the coach wants Tracey in the team and look we all like what Tracey brings and like to see him have a role but is it gunna be worth it when we have a specialist centre/wing sitting in reserve ?
I don't mind the idea of Ronnie at centre but i reckon it only works if Trindall is in at 6. Then Connor can be 14. It just doesn't look like playing out that way for a fair while at leastor, here me out, we put ronaldo there for an extended run with ikavalu on the wing, save money and have an incredible strike centre on our books
We were calling for Ronaldo at centre last year - Ronaldo and Ikuvalu or Tracey (where he’s played his best for us) is a stronger comboThis was the pairing I suggested before the trials but seems we want to go the hard way converting Connor and hoping it works out.

Again, pretty sure Fitz said Tracey and Ronnie would swap around a bit. Those two still look like the strongest startersWe were calling for Ronaldo at centre last year - Ronaldo and Ikuvalu or Tracey (where he’s played his best for us) is a stronger combo
You wouldn't expect passing to be a weak point of his game, but he's butchered a few tries in his time!that wobly low pass he threw for Ronnies try not sure if it was a mispass or he intentionally threw it underneath the defenders outstretched arm haha
KennedyBe interesting to get some insight into who's the quickest in our top squad over 100m whilst carrying the ball.
When I think of who in our team is most likely to go the length to score, Tracey is the first that comes to mind.
Could be way off the mark but it'd be great to know.
I thought that maybe the tackler got a slight touch on it. Was never going to be a great pass reGardsless but all's well that ends well.that wobly low pass he threw for Ronnies try not sure if it was a mispass or he intentionally threw it underneath the defenders outstretched arm haha
Off the mark he has some toe doesn't he? And he ran down a speedster in the trials, just can't remember who it was now.Kennedy
I think it was Naden. Not sure if he is a speedster though.Off the mark he has some toe doesn't he? And he ran down a speedster in the trials, just can't remember who it was now.
Be good to see him in open space to see what he's got over a longer distance.
Compared to me he is.I think it was Naden. Not sure if he is a speedster though.
How would you go against that other Sharks' flyer, Luke Covell?Compared to me he is.
I'd make him look faster than Usain Bolt.How would you go against that other Sharks' flyer, Luke Covell?
Had him in my 3,2,1s for that reason. Him Brailey and Finucane didn’t stop the whole game.far out this guy has a proper red hot crack doesn't he. runs the ball hard and fast and doesn't care about the contact. I found it very hard leaving him out of the 321 as I thought he had a good gutsy involved game. was looking dangerous around the ruck but gets cut down in tackles pretty easily
did alot better and more consistent @ centre than I was expecting, seems the pre-season was real and Fitz intentions were genuine
had our most run metres against the Eels
that wobly low pass he threw for Ronnies try not sure if it was a mispass or he intentionally threw it underneath the defenders outstretched arm haha
missed more tackles than our other backs but relatively more traffic than most of them and hopefully keeps improving
Agree Tracey was very good, actually Ramien was pretty good too other than when he noodled that tackle and got outsmarted by Gutho.far out this guy has a proper red hot crack doesn't he. runs the ball hard and fast and doesn't care about the contact.

The NSW Team of the Week (last 5 minutes only) apparentlyHad him in my 3,2,1s for that reason. Him Brailey and Finucane didn’t stop the whole game.
Connor made the nsw team of the week too along with Hynes and Moylan
Dier challenged him to a race years ago in Brisbane - he declined.How would you go against that other Sharks' flyer, Luke Covell?
