Massive opportunity for us to get these guys while they’re down. Can never rule out some kind of bounce back from the Doggies after the humiliation they’ve suffered so far this year. But, really, if we’re fair dinkum about salvaging this year, we need to be winning this game. No excuses.

I wonder kind of reshuffle we’ll see when Johnson comes on. Probably won’t be Townsend or Kennedy that comes off. Maybe Moylan? Give him a bit of a break for his hammys? Maybe Brailey and Townsend goes to 9? Maybe even Tracey and the backline reshuffles with Moylan heading to the centres? (not a fan of that idea) Maybe one of the forwards and we play with a roving utility? If it were me I’d bring off one of the halves.

Moylan has played as a roving middle utility previously. I'd guess that is most likely.
Although if things are going well could see Blayke have a rest with Chad to hooker. Chad or Moylan both wouldn't want to be having a bad game.

I'm guessing he won't be leaving his ribs exposed with DWZ prowling about.

Well we’d want at least 40 minutes out of Johnson this week I feel to get him back up to speed, if we can get away with giving Brailey 40 minutes rest to help with the rest of the season I’d be all for it. He’s still quite young so it definitely could benefit in the long run.

Should be the perfect game for SJ to come back. Ideally were up by 30 at half time and he gets to ease in.
If Chad is leaving the shire I could easily see SJ at 7, Mozza 6

Should be...unfortunately these are the games we tend to play poor teams into form...

You're obviously eating the wrong things. One of the best reminders of what you had for breakfast is eating baked beans on toast.

Yes you can rule out some kind of bounce back from the dogs they are just that unbelievably bad. As a Sharks fan I don't really get cocky or go into many games thinking we are a sure thing (post flanno era anyway) but really this should be a gimme and a training run for our boys. the dogs are still learning how to catch and pass a ball so im not being arrogant or anything I just objectively don't see how they are supposed to win this game. only going full Cronulla will give them a sniff

these ***n endless squad reshuffles.... I almost miss the early 2010's when we ran out the same pleb side every week - they were **** and we fans screamed for it to be mixed up but at least you got to know their names and positions
