I don't see why this guy couldn't play even when we are all back fit. We have 10 games straight heading into the finals. With our depth it would be nice to rotate some of our forwards, just one at a time.
Berrell, Iro, Stone street. It would be nice to see them all get a chance (not at the same time.) We've got Dragons, Tigers, Cowboys and Manly on the home stretch. Good a time as any for some of these guys to get a run.

id love wade to transition to 18th man

hazleton cannot be dropped
18th man is good. Around the team for leadership, but most importantly, off the field. Thought that was fifitas best spot last year until he started having a go.

Tommy's performance yesterday was what we had seen coming. Good on the big bloke for the outstanding effort he's putting in and I'm glad he's getting rewards for it.

This current Sharks team must be close to setting a record for games played by guys who didn't make an NRL squad after aging out of u20's/u21's.

If you look at guys across the league who were in this situation at some point and have gone on to play 9+ NRL games over the last couple of seasons, I'd say the Sharks probably have 1/4 of them. The Raiders have a few too.

Nut's performance seems to be the only positive from yesterday that doesn't come with the "it was only against the Bulldogs".

Was thinking similar last night when I heard Nicho was 27 already. A lot of late bloomers.

Yeah I've noticed this too. You have to wonder if it was something that Fitz liked the look of too. It gives the team a very homegrown feel.

Shame we've butchered his development by not putting him in the 17 since he first looked good in a trial a few years back.
You have to do that with players who show something or they never get better or you lose them
