Round 18: SHARKS vs TITANS (2024)

I'm taking my chances on Tom's dodgy defense next week over the human momentum handbrake that is Tanah Boyd.

Assuming of course AJ doesn't make this painful decision moot.
I’d say the same, until I saw Tom in Tweed City last week. The bloke is genuinely tiny! Bring back AJ in the halves every day of the week
 
Jeezus H CHRIST! Watched that one at work and I've never been more unprofessional in my life XD ! felt like we were on top for majority, but jeez we let some silly mistakes happen. We let them get in our head about it in that second half, but glad we won that one and stayed on top of em. Do or Die defence is a reality now. Unsure if I am to call that a great effort as like I said, some silly mistakes, BUT will take the win and live with it.

EDIT - more or less with our attacking structure... especially with Boyd. No longer a Boyd defender here lads, I'll eat my words from pre-season
 
Boyds long kicking game was terrible but his defence was on point.
It has got to go LONG before he has a long kicking game ... even the kick-offs were landing on the 10 meter line ... he was very very ordinary.

That was a great win on many levels not the least of which was attacking poorly but defending well. Just want to mention Jacob Alick-W who is coming on bit by bit.

Alick hasn’t done a lot wrong in D
 
I'm starting to actually like Fermor in the centres as someone who's not really a fan, He's getting caught out at least way less while having to make less decisions and he seems to better at defending out there in the structure while bringing some good hard metres to our back 5 that we've lacked. I think with Haas back at 12 and Randall killing it with Verrills finally having some health, I'd way rather keep Fermor out there then Sami right now anyway, Unless AJ is going back there.

Tannah was horrible with the ball but did his job defensively, I'll take that any day even if not perfect for a back up half, That kicking was foul but he also hasn't played for ages, Looked like his legs were dead with an already small kick. Randall is just the GOAT but I also think Clark has taken probably 2 steps up from where he was last year, He's adding so much speed and ball playing and just an absolute menace to tackle, Really love what all of them are bringing.

Bit surprised at some of the negativity, Tannah sucked ass but we just won a game through defence, We weren't great but we just beat a top 4 team when we didn't play well and broke a 9 game losing streak against them, It's even better imo that we did that instead of being great on attack and just rolling through teams, It was hard at times.

If there was ever a game to blood Harrison for it would be next weeks game against the eels

But I’d also take Campbell at 6 Foran at 7 and brimmo at 14 to ease him back into the game

Can’t play Harrison. And they wouldn’t under any circumstances
