The Ridge!
REALLY ????
Having recently turned 24
With a Sharks Pack deficient of Line benders
Interesting
Coach would be Crackers to not have the Big Nut on the Bench, game 1 proper.
So who do you guys have him in front of for Round 1? Who is not going to make our pack and bench for Tommy to get a spot? Assuming all are fit and healthy of course.

Really tricky mate .
Feels like the old brigade deserve and probably will get first shots .
So the pack you mentioned elsewhere could well be close to the mark.
BUT , will be interesting from say round 10 and they have all hopefully gotten a run .

In your head, rent free
he will get his chances this year but i dont think he makes the bench round 1 as hunt bhu and oregon will make the prop rotation

but bhu and hunt are good for an injury and shite form, so he just needs to be ready to step up

Big body shape, straight swap for Fifitas bench spot. Middle forward, Williams misses out,or we learn to play w/o a back up hooker.

Probably a good way to look at it (Tommy takes Fifita's role). Fifita was a not in the best 17 though.

Fifita was outside best 17 and our backup hooker has never played NRL

Agreed :censored:;):) As you were guys. I'm Probably just pressing for the NUT to roll a bit quicker . Think he can become a real point of difference. Middle Defence in short bursts is good, which can become more minutes, and has an offload too. Better than just an "Effort Player" IMHO.

Also added a pass to his game while with the Jets last year. He is really coming along nicely as a prospect.

Less than 40 minutes probably but thankfully those 130 or so games he played at other clubs puts him in a good position to cover if needed.
You’re living in the past mate
What’s next, Graham in a 6 jersey
