Redcliffe trial v Sharks

Let's google some of these Sharks players...

Haydn Peacock - Returns to the club after a stint in French Rugby League. He was apart of their NYC system from 2009-11, but he's probably best remembered for an unfortunate injury where he nearly had his penis torn off.

James Tuitahi - Joins the club after stints with Wests and Manly in the NSW Cup. The former Eels junior has struggled to deliver on the promise that saw him make a number of junior representative sides and at 24 time is ticking. His duel with Tautau Moga shapes as a nice talking point heading into the match.

Josh Tuilagi - Enjoyed an impressive debut season in the NYC scoring 14 tries from 22 appearances, the former Queensland Under 18s representative is a proven threat out-wide.

Jayden Walker - A skillful backrow who commanded a lot of ball in NYC before a series of off-field incidents derailed his 2016 season. No longer eligible for Under 20s, 2017 shapes as a make or break year.

Kurt Dillon - A big lump of a lad who represents the Newtown Jets (the Sharks affiliate) in the NSW Cup.

Jaimin Jolliffe - Another big bopper who made a name for himself in the juniors earning a spot in the Australian Schoolboys team. A very honest middle player, a name to watch out for.

Jayden Brailey - Considered Michael Ennis' long-term replacement, Brailey is a scheming hooker that doesn't shirk the tough stuff.

Blayke Brailey - Jayden's younger brother who plays in the exact same position. Just made his NYC debut, so this will be a good opportunity for him to rub shoulders with some of the NRL's best.

Jesse Savage - Another young Queenslander, the 19 year old Savage enjoyed a break-out season last year for the Sharks where he provided them with good penetration on the fringes.

Ryan King - Shaping to make his Sharks debut after making the move from the Roosters. It's a good opportunity to get himself noticed.

Eddie Faalau - An emerging player who is yet to make his NYC debut for the club.

Luke Towers - Former Roosters Under 20s player who returns after a stint in French Rugby. He's a veteran at the Newtown Jets, so this is just a pat on the back.

Ben Fritz - Former Sea Eagles NSW Cup winger, turned Shark, another guy getting an opportunity.

Bessie Aufuga-Toomaga - Sharks NYC back who can pose a threat out-wide with his foot-work.

Via Uia - Stumped.
 
I'm curious to know why Bennett put Pangai Jr at second row.
 
I thought he was primarily a second rower. Good footwork and good hands.
 
Sigh... very disappointing. Was looking forward to being able to watch.
