TOPIC:

Forecast of 44 degrees - I'm staying inside. As got spare time started wondering what a Sharks line-up might look like for the coming season so I grabbed the 22 from the last game of last season against the Tigers and threw in the known recruits and injured players from last year. I'm not close to the club so it's only guess work around who is definitely playing but gave it a go any way.

Don't think they will have a hope in hell against the Eagles Bitch Football Club but with a bit of luck the Eagles might have 20 players out injured.

Anyway, here goes (bolded players did not play against the Tigers):

FB Cooper Howlett Schofield

HB Stephen Dodd McNamara

C Dalziell McGough Hancock

HF Henson Young Peake

FF Boyle Perham Lester Smith

Ruck MacDougall A. Tropiano R. O'Brien

Int Eardley Waight B. O'Brien Howson Bayliss
Depane Edwards Jansen Read


Hadley retired
Sheppard to EBFC
Little birdy said King may leave

MacDougall improved over last season and hope that continues. Not convinced about key forwards either but apart from that it is a reasonable team and certainly stronger than what we had towards the end of last year. We may well be very competitive after all.

Anyway, back to the air conditioning.

Tim Bristow and his brother?

Don't forget the tall forward from EP lads.....still need to recruit some more.....not much depth wise TBH.....very few sides play their best 22 in a season. Is Howson playing this year? Tim Bristow and Eardley will be first 22 I reckon.....any other possible recruits left on the shelf......geez Barney help us out here mate......Leedy as you know can't say anything without the nod from you know who?......

Looks a pretty good side - even without the extras mentioned. Any other year we could look forward with confidence, but will they be good enough to beat the EBFC? Don't think so.

EF have a couple of non mentioned recruits, I cant say anything coz if my source "Brad Dalziel" finds out, I will be forwarded "nil" information in the future !!!

Surely your mate Brad doesn't know half as much as EF Bradd Dalziell does Leedy!.......pleased to hear EF have a few more recruits not mentioned here tho .....cheers for putting my fears to bed Leedy.....touch wood Andy K turns up soon too.......sure there is a plausible reason!
