I think It’s fair for the boys to say if you are going to give it then you should be able to take it..

I hope @BurgoShark knows it’s all in good fun

I can’t remember anyone attacking him personally, no one is for that🦈

I guess my point was I don't think he really gives it. At the very least if you were going to put the posters on a scale he'd be right down the bottom for insults/targetted banter. I don't take offence, but I can honestly say that the way many posts are received in here wouldn't be 'in good fun', at least not for everyone.

On the last bit absolutely there was, particularly after Snowman was banned.

Not sure if there is a thread for this discussion...

Different people have different views on what is fun and what is offensive. Which is fine, but we need to respect this space for what it is and wants to be, and that's not Facebook or 4chan. There's places on the internet where that style, Snowy's for example, is relatively normal and accepted... It's not here, clearly!

I don't think anyone (left) has a real personal issue with anyone else, sometimes the talk just gets out of hand. Especially after a loss and a few too many cans. And sometimes communication styles are different and we don't get each other's actual intent. Because one or both sounds like a smug, condescending *******. That's typing online for you! Even I do sometimes (but not as much as @bort, obviously ).

If we respect each other's ideas of 'fun' and be considerate when we go too far, I don't see why we can't have the conversations we want to have and chill together as Sharks fan.

This is the player keeping Nicho from coming back in the team lol

This sounds a bit harsh, Atko has been pretty good bar last game where he was average and no is seriously declaring him Nicho's long term replacement are they?

Nicho is coming straight back in, I don't think anyone realistically expects this not to happen. Atko could have 6 weeks of top tier amazing games and it isn't stopping Nicho slotting straight back in. Pecking order, $$$ Star player ect...

BUT on Nichos most recent form I'm kinda glad he is having a spell (shame it took a nasty injury) cause he was starting to look cooked and his kicking in particular was hurting the team and our players seem to step up more when Nicho isn't there / hogging every second play

If Nichos recent form is what he gave us every week into the future then yea I would take Atko over that but we know Nicho is going to come back and carve up again in 2025 (until Origin) and get us into the 8 before we collapse in a heap again

If nicho is to be the 6, he needs to start running again. None of this left side half right side half.

IN A BAR
Atko fullback would probably be somewhere between Kennedy and Miller. Less reliable than Kennedy, but not as unreliable as Miller.
Not as dynamic and dangerous a runner as Miller but a stronger individual runner than Kennedy.

Doubt he’d have much luck when isolated by a prop on the tryline either though.

Also worth noting it’s pretty hard to be supporting in the middle on tackles 2 and 3 but a key deep component in a sweep on tackle 4. So if he’s supporting a lot we might not have access to the extra wide ball playing we have previously got from Kennedy.
If we can’t make that work with Kennedy/Trindall though, the fact Kennedy can do it does lose value
