Agree with all of that. I hadn’t considered the left centre option. My only hesitation with shifting the big fella is he is so good carting it up early in the set. His passing too but he can use that anywhere they put him.

Fingers crossed Dykes stays healthy.
Feels like we're putting a lot of eggs in his basket

Yeah it could be a consideration towards moving Talakai to forwards but coach needs to be sure he wants to do that for this pathway to open up. think if Fitz isn't sure he wants to move Talakai to forwards then he shouldn't do it.

But in another sense, none, because our eggs have no value to him (sorry @egg )

Now from a Sharks perspective something like starting him round one in the 1 or 6 jersey, that is counting some serious chickens before they hatch

We are, on average, very high on Dykes. I think the name, the transition to NSW Cup followed quickly by decent look in NRL (and throw in actually jumping excellent backup Miller for the backup role), and the the time in coaches box all contribute to him having a fair bit of excited interest from us fans.

Add to that he's effectively a new recruit for this year, we're all hoping (or maybe clutching at straws) he can be be a star (or better than average).

Put Dykes at Fullback for Jets, covers Kennedy, Atkinson covers Five Eighth, Trindall can cover Hynes.

I think Tracey will get the green light to leave if he still wants to

I just hope the fanbase shows patience with him. People need to remember he’s lost a whole year of his development, not to mention not everyone is quite the same after those kind of injuries.

I suspect he’s going to spend a chunk of the season with the Jets.

Yeah most guys take a good 12 months of playing before they get back to their best

If he doesn't play SOO next year he's a failure.

I think it’s on all the old players names; Rogers, Sorenson’s, Dykes and Healey. (Rogers and Sorenson from previously, whilst dykes and Healey now)

Though we can talk about them coming thru the lowers but whether they succeed it’s on them. Hopefully they don’t get too much pressure to live up to their folks name .

I don’t reckon he will take very long to get firing

For sure the names ain’t nothing

Healey I like because how often he does good work in other players highlight, the best of others often began with good work from him

I think people have moderated over the years... he'll get at least until half time before he's asked to move on.

Yeah I’m thinking of Tracey as already gone. I’d like to be wrong.

Too many question marks in the backs to let Connor go now I reckon.

Sifa’s role , Kade returning from ACL , is Iro up to it defensively ?

I reckon he stays for this coming season ..
