Sharks go in to the match with six forwards and no backs on the bench.
Stonestreet can’t even get a spot on the bench when he is a better player (in the air, on the ground and faster) than Sione Katoa.
I reckon Sione must have some _very_ incriminating phots of the coach. :=)
And another thing: if the Sharks have no backs on the bench, what is the coach going to do if Tricky Trindal’s shoulder gives out again ?
Sharks board should ack this coach and offer the job to someone new !
