The ET Stand - a Cronulla Sharks Fans Podcast

The Sharks have suffered a damaging 24–20 loss to the Canberra Raiders at Shark Park, making it back-to-back defeats and putting their top-four hopes in serious jeopardy.With Boldo otherwise occupied at his niece’s 21st dressed as Super Mario, Franko takes the reins solo — with plenty of help from the ET Stand community in the comments.There’s no shortage of talking points after a frustrating afternoon.The biggest is the injury to Braydon Trindall, who left the game in just the sixth minute with a dislocated shoulder. Franko looks at what Trindall’s possible absence means for the run into the finals, the options Cronulla has in the halves, and the increased pressure that now falls on Nicho Hynes to take control of the team.The attack also comes under the microscope after Cronulla repeatedly found themselves in good field position but struggled to turn that dominance into points. Was the loss of Trindall enough to explain how disjointed the Sharks looked, or are there bigger structural issues appearing at the worst possible time?Franko and the listeners also get into:The controversial calls and the Ronaldo Mulitalo try/no-tryCronulla’s failure to capitalise on opportunities close to Canberra’s lineSome questionable decisions around taking the twoThe use of Cam McInnes in the attacking shapeWhether the interchange rotation was thrown out by Trindall’s early injuryCalls for Siosifa Talakai to have been brought back into the game earlierThe performance of Hohepa Puru and where he fits moving forwardWhether Billy Burns should be startingThe pressure now coming onto Nicho HynesCraig Fitzgibbon, the criticism of the coach and why Franko still believes he is the right man for the jobWhat the Sharks need to do over the final three games to give themselves any chance of recovering a top-four positionDespite the disappointment, Franko isn't ready to write the season off just yet.The equation has become much harder. Cronulla need to rediscover their best football quickly as the business end of the season arrives.Can the Sharks turn things around before September?Up Up Cronulla.SUPPORT THE BUSINESSES THAT SUPPORT THE ET STANDSolve Accountinghttps://www.solveaccounting.com.au/Miranda Hotelhttps://mirandahotel.com.au/Morgans Cronullahttps://morgans.com.au/branch/cronullaMortgage Choice Sutherland, Cronulla & Wollongonghttps://www.mortgagechoice.com.au/pete.johnson/Southside Physiotherapyhttps://ssphysio.com.au/Displaywearhttps://www.displaywear.com.au/JOIN THE ET STAND COMMUNITYTalk Sharks with us 24/7 in The ET Stand Discord:https://discord.gg/nXEC9QNfmKBecome an ET Stand member and help support the show, get access to the Sharks Vault and other member benefits.Follow The ET Stand Podcast:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ETStandFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ETStandInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/etstandpodcast Hosted on Acast.

The Cronulla Sharks made it four wins in a row with a 32–16 victory over the South Sydney Rabbitohs, overcoming injuries, a controversial sin bin and a disrupted backline to collect another important two competition points.Boldo and Franko break down a performance that was more resilient than the final scoreline might suggest, with the Sharks playing the entire second half with only two available players on the bench after injuries to KL Iro and Siosifa Talakai.The boys discuss Teig Wilton’s controversial sin bin for a head clash, the forward passes that appeared to be missed, and the way Cronulla continued to control the match despite spending time with 12 players.There is plenty of praise for Addin Fonua-Blake, whose introduction helped change the momentum through the middle, along with Nicho Hynes and Braydon Trindall’s control of the game, Blayke Brailey’s kicking and a powerful Sharks interchange bench.Nicho also kicked a perfect six from six, extending his incredible streak to 32 consecutive successful kicks and moving within four kicks of breaking the NRL record.The panel also discusses:• The latest information on Talakai’s biceps injury• Who could replace Iro and Talakai in the centres• Whether Mawene Hiroti is the safest option against the Dragons• The Sharks’ ability to adapt after their backline was reshuffled• AFB’s impact from the bench and his first try of the season• The strength of Cronulla’s forward rotation• The Sharks’ chances of finishing second or third• Whether this team is beginning to create some 2016 feelings• The listeners’ Bally M Player of the Year votesWHEN WILL THE SHARKS LEAGUES CLUB OPEN?Enter the ET Stand competition, predict the official opening date and go into the running to win a Displaywear jersey display:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UMBCJD-CzPRpcxBgG9pHjVieHgvj7VeE_yR5k9biiUE/editBecome an ET Stand YouTube member for just $1.50 and help cover the costs of producing the show so Boldo does not lose money.

The Sharks have won four straight and are charging towards the finals, but is it time to start planning for October or should supporters keep their expectations under control?Chris Kelly returns alongside Franko, Francis Crossle and Boldo to assess Cronulla’s red-hot form, where the Sharks sit among the genuine premiership contenders and whether recent dominant wins have answered the questions surrounding this team.The panel discusses the challenge posed by the leading sides, the importance of finishing inside the top four and why Cronulla’s performances in September will ultimately determine how this season is judged.The Bally M Player of the Year leaderboard is updated following the Manly victory, with Braydon Trindall still leading Nicho Hynes and Will Kennedy at the top of the standings.The panel has also done its homework, bringing along a collection of random Sharks statistics. Boldo risks the wrath of Franko by calculating that Nicho Hynes has a 19.7 per cent chance of extending his current streak far enough to break the record for consecutive successful goal kicks.Francis provides the Southside Physiotherapy injury update, covering Addin Fonua-Blake’s pectoral strain, Thomas Hazelton’s back tightness, Toby Rudolf’s latest setback and whether Cronulla should consider resting players before the finals.Franko then puts Boldo through a sudden-death selection game to determine his current favourite Shark, before the panel previews the Round 22 clash with South Sydney, examines both team lists and debates what Cronulla’s strongest possible finals side looks like.We also launch the ET Stand Sharks Leagues Club Opening Date Competition.Predict the date on which the redeveloped Sharks Leagues Club will officially open for your chance to win a prize from our mates at Displaywear.Entries close at 11:59 pm AEST on 10 August 2026.

Hynes, Kennedy and Trindall lead a complete Cronulla performance at BrookvaleBoldo and Franko are live after the Cronulla Sharks produced one of their most complete performances of the season, defeating the Manly Sea Eagles 48-12 at 4 Pines Park.The Sharks ran in eight tries, returned to outright fourth place and made it eight wins from their past nine matches as their late-season momentum continued to build.The boys break down a brilliant attacking display led by Nicho Hynes, Braydon Trindall and Will Kennedy, while also giving credit to the platform created by Cronulla’s forwards and outside backs.They discuss Hynes’ running game, his booming long kicking and his remarkable run of consecutive successful goal kicks, while examining the ongoing narrative that Trindall is now the player running the Sharks’ attack.Kennedy’s support play and involvement throughout the match earns plenty of praise, along with KL Iro’s defensive work against Haumole Olakau’atu, Jesse Ramien’s shutdown job on Manly’s edge and Siosifa Talakai’s repeated decoy runs and effort without the ball.There is also discussion around Cronulla’s willingness to shift the ball quickly, the confidence flowing through the side, their improved support play and the brief period of white-line fever after the result was already secured.The ET Stand crew debates whether the Sharks’ two captain’s challenges should truly count as successful, reacts to the Channel Nine commentary becoming a Sharks love-fest and hears from supporters who attended the match at Brookvale.Plus, the listeners submit their Bally M 3-2-1 votes, Boldo and Franko attempt to separate the many standout performances and attention turns towards the next match against the South Sydney Rabbitohs.The ET Stand is live after every Sharks match and every Tuesday night at 8:30pm.Join the ET Stand Discord:https://discord.gg/nXEC9QNfmKBecome an ET Stand YouTube member for just $1 and access our Sharks Vault of classic Cronulla matches.Thanks to our partners:Solve Accountinghttps://www.solveaccounting.com.au/Miranda Hotelhttps://mirandahotel.com.au/Morgans Cronullahttps://morgans.com.au/branch/cronullaSouthside Physiotherapyhttps://ssphysio.com.au/Displaywearhttps://www.displaywear.com.au/Mortgage Choice Sutherland, Cronulla and Wollongonghttps://www.mortgagechoice.com.au/pete.johnson/ Hosted on Acast.

Franko returns alongside Boldo to catch up on a massive couple of weeks for the Cronulla Sharks.The boys look back at the victories over the Dolphins and Knights, including the change in Cronulla’s form, the strength of the current forward rotation and the difficult decisions Craig Fitzgibbon will face when Toby Rudolf returns.Attention then turns to the Bally M Player of the Year race after Nicho Hynes collected a huge haul of points. Can Nicho make a late charge at Will Kennedy and Braydon Trindall, and just how far can cult hero Billy Burns climb after another impressive performance?Boldo also runs through the Sharks’ remaining draw, the points historically required to finish inside the top four and the latest probabilities for where Cronulla could finish. Is the minor premiership out of reach? Can the Sharks climb as high as second? And is a top-four finish now theirs to lose?The boys preview Sunday’s trip to Brookvale, with Manly entering the match on a three-game losing streak and without Tom Trbojevic. Franko explains why Luke Brooks may be the more significant absence and why the Sharks still cannot afford to underestimate a wounded Sea Eagles side.They also debrief last week’s interview with Sharks CEO Dino Mezzatesta, discussing the club’s financial position, its property assets, the future of Ocean Protect Stadium, the development pathways and the strong working relationship between Dino and Craig Fitzgibbon.The show closes with a look at the NRLW side following three consecutive losses and whether the Sharks can recover quickly enough to return to the finals.On the show:• Franko’s thoughts on the Dolphins and Knights victories• Cronulla’s strongest forward rotation• Nicho Hynes’ huge Bally M points haul• The updated Player of the Year race• Sharks top-four probabilities and projected finish• The remaining run home• Sharks v Sea Eagles preview• The biggest takeaways from the Dino Mezzatesta interview• Sharks finances, pathways and Ocean Protect Stadium• Can the NRLW Sharks turn their season around?ET Stand is proudly supported by:Solve Accountinghttps://www.solveaccounting.com.au/Miranda Hotelhttps://mirandahotel.com.au/Morgans Cronullahttps://morgans.com.au/branch/cronullaSouthside Physiotherapyhttps://ssphysio.com.au/Displaywearhttps://www.displaywear.com.au/Mortgage Choice Sutherland, Cronulla and Wollongonghttps://www.mortgagechoice.com.au/pete.johnson/Join the ET Stand Discord:https://discord.gg/nXEC9QNfmKBecome an ET Stand member for just $1 and help support the costs involved in producing the show.

The Sharks collected another vital two competition points, but their 20–18 victory over the Newcastle Knights was much harder than it needed to be.With Franko stranded down the coast by some highly questionable internet, 2.0 returns to the co-host seat alongside Boldo to unpack a frustrating and occasionally chaotic night at Ocean Protect Stadium.But the biggest surprise of the night comes when Australian Wrestling Superstars wrestler Bronson King unexpectedly joins the panel, leaving Boldo genuinely shocked.Once Boldo recovers from the ambush, the panel breaks down Cronulla’s handling errors, their reluctance to catch a bouncing football, the late scare against the Knights and the defensive efforts that ultimately helped save the result.There is also plenty of praise for Nicho Hynes’ improving goal-kicking and crucial cover defence, Billy Burns’ relentless work, Will Kennedy’s dependable performance and the contribution of Cronulla’s replacement forwards.The boys also examine the late Ronaldo Mulitalo incident, the concern surrounding Siosifa Talakai’s pectoral injury, the growing competition for positions and what the win means for the Sharks’ push towards the top four.Plus, the panel and listeners hand out their 3-2-1 votes for the Bally M Player of the Year.Proudly supported by our ET Stand partners:Solve Accountinghttps://www.solveaccounting.com.au/Miranda Hotelhttps://mirandahotel.com.au/Morgans Cronullahttps://morgans.com.au/branch/cronullaSouthside Physiotherapyhttps://ssphysio.com.au/Mortgage Choice Sutherland, Cronulla & Wollongonghttps://www.mortgagechoice.com.au/pete.johnson/Displaywearhttps://www.displaywear.com.au/Join the ET Stand Discord:https://discord.gg/nXEC9QNfmKBecome an ET Stand member for just $1 and help cover the costs involved in producing the show.

The boys discuss Nicho Hynes' record-breaking 30-pointhaul, the growing combination between Hynes and Braydon Trindall, the Sharks' relentless defence, Craig Fitzgibbon's game management, and why this may have been the club's most complete performance of the season.There's also discussion around Frédéric Michalak's influence on the attack, the Dolphins' decision to turn down easy points, the Challenge Meter remaining at 10–5, Matt Russell's commentary, and all of your Bally M Player of the Year votes after a day where almost every Shark put their hand up.Proudly supported by:Solve Accountinghttps://www.solveaccounting.com.au/Miranda Hotelhttps://mirandahotel.com.au/Morgans Cronullahttps://morgans.com.au/branch/cronullaSouthside Physiotherapyhttps://ssphysio.com.au/Displaywearhttps://www.displaywear.com.au/Join our Discord community:https://discord.gg/nXEC9QNfmKListen wherever you get your podcasts, and join us live every Tuesday night on YouTube and Facebook for the ET Stand Sharks fan show.

There’s plenty of love for the Hynes–Trindall partnership, a deep dive into the middle-forward rotation, and the ongoing fullback debate, plus which young guns strengthened their case for a jersey.They also tackle the big season question – can this squad take the next step from back-to-back prelims to a Grand Final – with bold predictions, fan reactions from around the world, and a look ahead to media day with the chance to interview Nico Hynes and Braydon Trindall.All that, the Discord crew, and the usual one-eyed, biased, passionate Sharks chat.Brought to you by Solve Accounting.
