Please not Mortimer.

Its Brailey and one of Nu, Mortimer or Cherrington. In that order I reckon.

robbiue farah made his debut at 19 and was playing 80 minutes as a 20 year old, anyone saying brailey cant do it is just being a bitch

He made his debut from the bench, big difference.

 

[snowman]

by 20 he was playing 80 minutes, or did you overlook that?

Doesn't matter. Going from playing against kids to 80 minutes in the NRL at hooker? Ain't gonna happen this early imo.

 

[HaroldBishop]

And Farah was 22 in 2005 when he started playing 80.

 

[Thresher]

He needs at least a few games to build up to it, they'll run players at him constantly

 

[deano the p]

To be fair Farah is one of the best hookers of this era as well.

brailey is 21 this year, no reason he cant do it

brailey is the best of his bunch, so whats the difference?

 

[Thresher]

The coaching squad would have a pretty good idea of what he's currently able to handle you'd think. I guess we'll have to wait and see what their perspective is on game day.

 

[Sharkyle]

We expecting Feki and Val to be fit for this match?

 

[CrazyMatt]

And some good teams have 2.

Like Canberra. Works for them just fine.

Only saying that just because someone who went on to be one of the best hookers in his time managed 80 minutes at a young age doesn't mean another will.

I don't know enough about Brailey to say he could or couldn't, from the opinions I've heard through the media & fellow Sharks supporters he has a good motor so he might be up to it.

It's a big step up so if it isn't certain I'd rather play it safe & have Nu on the bench for the moment & let Brailey build into it. Nu can also be cover for the halves & at a pinch outside backs/backrow.

 

[Milkshark]

When do we announce the team? This arvo? I can't remember.

 

[dosit]

They are announced tomorrow

 

[dosit]

[snowman]

[dosit]
