Knew Ryda would make his debut. Good on the lad. Hopefully he adds something for us next year.

Pretty decent side, obviously Samrani probably gone for season as well now because we can't have anything nice. But not a bad lineup

If Trindle isn't playing the Eels are a chance. There's gaps everywhere in the Shark's defence.

  He isn't, and it's our last home game of the season. So let's go out with a bang

  Well he has to pay back his debt so how. Brown Paper bags carry a fair bit and they're not see through like the plastic ones

Giving Ryda a debut for the sake of it.

  I would say giving him a taste so he has an idea of what he is in for next year. That would help his offseason preparation no end.

    Same thing they did for Jez, just a small taste lol
