RND 8, 2009: Sharks V Roosters at Toyota Stadium

[Pomeroy#3]

Maybe a little premature though I would make a couple of changes next week.

1. Orcher (give the kid a go lets see what he's got, plenty of pace, hopefully will offer a bit in attack, Brown was caught out of position a few times tonight ie the try of Suttons grubber)
2. Simmons (form has been good imo over last 3 weeks)
3. Pomeroy
4. Wright (the more games he plays in the top grade the better he'll become)
5. Brown (Covell played solid tonight, though his lack of speed is a major concern for me and his kicking has been down)
6. Barrett
7. Seymour
8. Snowden (was great off the bench tonight imo)
9. Hughes (best game this season tonight)
10. Douglas
11. Williams
12. Tupou
13. Gallen (great return, though will probably sit out next week after his high shot on Wing, if so Maitua)
------------
INT
------------
14. Maitua (if starting Ferguson, bring him on in centres, push Pomeroy one in)
15. Norrie
16. Mannah (the more game time he gets the better he will become, Donnelly offers little and only has experience over Mannah)
17. Caine (bring this bloke back into the 17, adds alot of spark around the ruck when on the field)

So you would leave Seu Seu out would you Peach? He was one of our better players last night and he is better than Joudo. You always go for the miracle cure if it involves a new face no matter how untested they are.

I have questions over these two;

Bronx Goodwin
Ryan Verlinden

Are they ready for first grade? Have they been playing well in NSW Cup recently? If so they may get a go???

 

[ROB SHARK]

Goodwin will be playing his first game in NSW cup on sunday for the Sharks.

Interchange:
14. Mannah
15. Snowden
16. Orcher
17. Seu Seu

we shouldn't make too many changes, so we can get consistency in our line up, making changes every week isn't going to help our problems. I think Orcher should get a shot, and should be played how stick used fergo against the Raiders and Cowboys. I can't see why people are wanting Seu Seu to be dropped, his been one of our better players, and the team has looked much better in attack, since his inclusion onto the field.

 

[sos]

orcher may be out next week was heavily concussed during the twenties along with jake denford

 

[ROB SHARK]

Besides Orcher getting concussed, how did he play?

 

[sharky94]

I only saw the 2nd half of the 20's game buy i know he scored a try but he was quick taking kicks on the full. He has great positional play

 

[ROB SHARK]

Time for some First grade?

 

[Henchmann]

We need to move Mitch Brown out of fullback, not that he's done a poor job, but I just don’t think that’s his best position for our team. Fullback is a very important role in the game at the moment and we need someone with the following attributes;

* Explosive speed
* Shows urgency to get to kicks
* Runs the ball back hard
* Backs up all game
* Understands the position and makes the right decisions in defence
* Can take difficult passes and keep backline movements going

Sadly I think I'm talking about K-Hunt last night, he Stewart and Slater make a difference to the team they play in, Mitch Brown is trying his best but doesn’t make a real difference!

So what do we do, Orcher as your suggesting, Goodwin? Or do we just hold out and plan for next year? I dont even think there are any good fullbacks on the market, except Kearney. ha ha ha

 

[ROB SHARK]

Hunt is on the market.

 

[fancyman]

gallen will go forsure, if it was andrew johns i would of been over looked

 

[Henchmann]

Hunt is on the market.

Yeah I know, but its remote he'd come to us.

 

[JimBob]

Hunt will be asking for big, big money and i don't really want him....

 

[stevow76]

mckinnon would be great for us.

was gals hit that bad i watched the game but had too many beers and cant really remember that bit, but i do remember seeing wing on the bench crying

 

[ROB SHARK]

It was only accidental the hit, he shouldnt get suspended but this is Paul Gallen we are talking about.

 

[stevow76]

yeah true he must of shagged the judicaries mum for all that he cops from them

 

[Pomeroy#3]

After watching the press conference last night I can't see Stick making to many changes to the team.
