Terrible according to @BurgoShark2 tries in NSW cup yesterday, how does this guy go in defence?
Wouldn’t drop him but at some point Talakai to the back row (especially when injuries/suspensions strike). Defending outside Moylan probably didn’t help but it was too easy for South’s last night down the right side.Not sure mate, but who would you drop ?
No conflicting reports. Sharks top 30 is full. He isn't in it.he would make the same reads as talakai did
only difference is he has a bit of speed to help him out
but there is conflicting reports, some think he is a dev player, others dont
Likely sportingnews just read his signing statement, saw "full time squad" and assumed that meant top 30.our top 30 has one spot in it, this was also released before we signed max and daniel

NRL 2023: Every club's top 30 roster and development squad
See below for every NRL club's top 30 and development list for the 2023 season.www.sportingnews.com
his re-signing statement is also confusing, plus one of our staff members cant answer the question either
so it is confusing
Perhaps conveniently our own website has exactly 30 players listed https://www.sharks.com.au/teams/?competition=111&team=500028Likely sportingnews just read his signing statement, saw "full time squad" and assumed that meant top 30.
Stonestreet was upgraded in to top 30.
If anything, Bradbury and Atkinson are the ambiguous ones. Originally they appeared in the 30 on nrl.com back in Feb but now showing as dev list.

Iro, Finau and Stonestreet are all not in this list, Puru is.
No guarantee it is correct of course, in fact it presumably isn't, I did think I'd seen Puru was to be upgraded next year.
Fair, funnily enough I saw same issue on another teams page, so at least it's not just us.Not sure I'm going to trust a site which lists a player as a coach.
- Atkinson, Bradbury and Stonestreet I've seen reports saying top 30, but others which don't mention it.
- Puru and Iro I've only seen listed as dev 2023, top 30 2024
If @snowman reckons we have exactly one spare spot (I assume the source is internal at the Sharks) for mine that means one of Atkinson/Bradbury is dev list. Anything could happen on any given day though. Iro could be in Fitz's office signing an upgraded 2023 contract as we speak.
I guess we will all just keep going around in circles on this for the next 10 weeks, and then it won't matter![]()
That's a good catch actually. I don't think (if he was top 30) we could argue Atkinson isn't a half, so if it is between Atkinson and Puru it must be Puru who is in top 30. Tracey was already in extended bench. Suggests as per Sharks site Puru may be the guy?Puru was named in our 22 last week, assuming he would need to be in the top 30 for that?
Or both Atkinson and Puru are dev, and the Sharks got permission to list one of them. That would align with NRL.comThat's a good catch actually.

Yeah right. As if he's going to tell me that. I don't sleep with him you know??@Sir Chadley
Can you please ask Fitz to confirm his top 30 and Dev players lists in your next email communication with him.
Please let him know that this is of high importance as it currently ripping the Sharks Forever family apart.
Too busy to sleep, ehYeah right. As if he's going to tell me that. I don't sleep with him you know??![]()
Of course not. He's sleeping. You're just watching him. It's not weird at all.Yeah right. As if he's going to tell me that. I don't sleep with him you know??![]()
Eligible for round 11.When is this guy eligible to play ? Is it after round 13?
