Quote ="spook2011"I am an exiled Trinity Fan here in Australia but am a family member at The Sharks (yes I know a glutton for punishment... I guess I am attracted to the underdog!)...
however I am i a reasonable position to comment as I have seen every sharks game this year and most toyota cup games ... as well as a few NSW games...
with a full and fit roster the sharks can - even this year - match it with most teams... however a glut of injuries from about round 5 saw a slump in form... now players are returning to the team ... Gardner and Morris particularly... and the team is firing again... as wins against the Dogs and Titans testify...
Young Chad Townsend is a very solid scrum half... good distribution and a very good kicking game... it will be an interesting choice between his solid game and Albert Kelly's flamboyant running game when Kelly returns from injury in a couple of weeks.
This years signing of Wade Graham was massive and the recruitment drive for next year is in full swing with the signings of
Sam Tagataese
Jeff Robson
Bryce Gibbs
Andrew Fifita
Isaac De Gois
Mark Taufua
Jon Green
add Gallen, Smith, Toupu and Bakuya into the mix
gives rise to some increased optimism... yes we have lost Snowden and Douglas... but that looks an awesome pack for next season!!'"
albert kelly was dreadful last year under the high ball but the sharks stuck by him as they saw the potential, he will be great when he gets back to match fitness, he started the season in great form and looks like being a good player
