Sharks trial

[double hoops]

Two hookers down in the nines. Godinet sounds like an amazing pick up at the 11th hour, bozo or Trent doesbit again. Well done.

What a weak team. That's not a Manly side at all. The final score wont mean anything.
Wow Barrett is really cotton-woolling most of the 1st grade. This is either an ingenious new way to prepare a squad, or there will be many injuries early in the season.
Not sure what to thing tbh. Ok ok I won't think, I already wasted a thought on another thread,

In a sense I see where you are coming from. At this stage we have seen a group of players showing their wares in the 9s. A very different form of the game just as ODIs are different from test cricket. As mentioned in one forum Souths did well i one 9s comp and collapsed during the season. I dont think we'll get a true sense of what we've got until about 3-4 rounds of the comp. That will give us a sense of how Manly might do this year and how these guys will perform.

Anyone know anything about Shuster, what position? where he has come from? Son of John?

 

[wombatgc]

I'd expect BJ to continue his good start from the nines. Buhrer would've been in the team as well if he wasn't injured. It's going to be tough against quality opposition, whilst playing with mostly reserve graders. But for him, Moltzen, Williame (never thought I'd say it), this could be their one and only chance to push for a spot in the first 17.

Came from Aussie sevens is a outside back says that his dad was David ,John was his uncle

 

[HoldenV8]

John Schuster was one of the Kiwi union players who crossed over to league in the late 80's, early 90's. From memory there was also Matthew Ridge (Manly), John Gallagher (Leeds), Frano Botica (Wigan) Kurt Sherlock (Easts), Daryl Halligan (Norths) and Eion Crosson (Souffs).

All of them other than Gallagher were pretty good goal kickers I believe (of course we all know how good Ridge, Halligan and Botica were with the boot).

If Peter is as good as his uncle was (ok, John wasn't great but he wasn't bad either)....he'll do ok and that's a bonus for us.

Please God - no injuries.

Wiliame needs a heart transplant before he's ready for first grade. He shat the bed every time he played FG last year.

 

[Lord Eagleton]

Did we get an answer re webcast..?

 

[double hoops]

Williame could benefit from the new coach showing early confidence in him. How many running metres the back 3 make in this trial could be significant.

 

[double hoops]

Yeah so if Cronulla are streaming I am what going to the cronulla web page or how's this work?

 

[SwornEagle]

They just tweeted they are live stream it

Will be awesome if it works cos Im currently OS.

 

[wombatgc]

There saying Holmes is in. Did he get re-instated?

 

[tookey]

Get excited sharks fans as this may be one of the few wins you have all season

Surely we can give them a trophy when they win?

 

[Bearfax]

Interesting that though cronulla are using most of their first grade, Manly are not. No Stewart, Tom (yes may be still injured), Lyon, Matai, DCE, Jake (yes injured), Brown, Taupau (OK in all stars). Obviously wanting to make sure they arent struck by injury in matches without worth.

Too many humpty dumpty nevilles on here bagging players and coach again. Get behind the boys FFS

 

[double hoops]

We have always started the year off slow and warmed into the comp. Nothing different here.

What does a humpty dumpty neville do when he is behind the boys ?

I wasnt being critical Wombat. I was merely pointing out a fact and that obviously Barrett is being careful with his primary troops.
