S2025 Ep 62Ideas to fix the Sharks + Boldo's Player Tiers
🎧 Audio Summary – The ET Stand Podcast: “How Do You Fix the Sharks?”In this jam-packed 90-minute episode of The ET Stand, the panel grapples with the Cronulla Sharks' current plight following their fourth loss in five games — this time a 30–6 defeat to the Storm in Melbourne. Host Boldo is joined by Chris Kelly, Franco, Matty Williams, and special guest commentary from the fans as they ask the big question: Do the Sharks need fixing — and if so, how?🔧 Fixing the Sharks DebateFranco, watching on delay and free from emotion, thinks the performance was better than fans and media suggest — especially defensively until the last 15 minutes.The panel unpacks key effort errors: a poor challenge, a disastrous tap-on, and more misreads.Chris argues the team lacks physical intimidation and urgency.Kelly makes a passionate case for holding the course: “We’re battered, flat, and fatigued, but it’s not broken. This bye is coming at the perfect time.”Matty and Boldo raise concerns over systemic prep issues, fitness, and player management. Boldo provides a detailed list of six “actual fixes” including smarter challenge use, better injury return decisions, and simplifying the bench rotation strategy.📊 Boldo’s Melbourne-Themed Player Tiers Boldo rolls out his signature segment with a tourism spin:Players compared to Melbourne icons like Docklands (Nicho & Nikora – expensive but underwhelming), St Kilda Beach (Atkinson – doesn’t deliver what it promises), and Luna Park (Ronaldo – flashy and solo).Blayke Brailey earns top billing, while injured Kade Dykes is likened to Qantas – sorely missed but still flying high in fans’ minds.Reactions range from Matty calling it Boldo’s “most accurate tiering yet” to Franco gently critiquing player placement for theme consistency over form.💬 Fan Fixes & Comment ChaosListeners submit their solutions: Talakai to lock, Ronaldo to centre, four-forward bench, Stone Street call-ups, and more.Debate erupts over Will Kennedy’s future, Trindall’s inconsistency, and whether Jesse Ramien and Oregon Kaufusi should be flicked.Assistant coaching changes are floated, with Nathan Brown and Mick Potter getting support.Paul in the comments triggers a podcast first — getting booted for defending Jack Williams as an Origin pick. “We’re not copping that!” shouts Boldo.🎞 History Corner Matty takes us back to past seasons where Sharks fell off a cliff post-finals — especially 2003, 2009, and the strange 2019 transition. 🎭 Around the League & NRLW PreviewChris runs through Origin III team news, Vanessa Foliaki’s retirement, and the start of the NRLW season.The Sharks NRLW team kicks off Thursday night with 13 returning grand final players. Big praise for coach Tony Herman and excitement about the season ahead.🔗 Join the discussion in our Discord: https://discord.gg/nXEC9QNfmK 🛠 Our partners:solveaccounting.com.aumirandahotel.com.aumorgans.com.au/branch/Cronullasouthsidephysio.com.audisplaywear.com.au Hosted on Acast.

S2025 Ep 58Sharks vs Broncos DEBRIEF
In this explosive post-match debrief, David Boldo Boldeman, Matthew Williams, and 2.0 — gather to process the diabolical Sharks collapse against the Broncos. Leading by 16 points, Cronulla managed to invent yet another way to lose, sparking fury, disbelief, and some of the most brutally honest analysis you’ll hear all season.Key themes:🤯 Self-sabotage kings: From Atkinson’s ineffective bench stint to basic errors by Trindall, Ronaldo, and Kennedy, the boys break down how the Sharks beat themselves yet again.🧠 Dumb Footy™: Calls for “the dumbest team in the NRL” fly as fans and hosts alike vent about repeated brain snaps, lack of accountability, and mental fragility under pressure.🔁 Bench blunders: The Atkinson conundrum takes center stage again — why is he in the 17? What is his role? And how has Fitzgibbon not fixed this mess after how many weeks?💬 Live fan commentary: The live audience pulls no punches — “a hundred out of ten dumb,” “Fitzy is a myth,” and “stop playing Atkinson at 14” are just the start.🔄 Kennedy, Nicho & the backline puzzle: Calls to drop Kennedy, move Nicho to fullback, and shake up the spine entirely spark a heated positional debate.⚔️ Defence? What defence?: Line integrity collapses, players stop mid-play, and it all comes undone — again. Talakai, Nikora and co. get called out for some soft moments.🧃 And finally… the Tuesday night thumbnail might just read: "Stop. Playing. Atkinson." It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s everything Cronulla fans are feeling. 🔗 Proudly brought to you by our partners: solveaccounting.com.au mirandahotel.com.au morgans.com.au/branch/Cronulla southsidephysio.com.au displaywear.com.au Hosted on Acast.
