The Sharks’ top-four hopes are suddenly under real pressure — and now they have to navigate the run home without Braydon Trindall.

In this episode, we break down the latest on Trindall’s shoulder injury and whether he can make it back for the finals, then revisit the Raiders loss and ask the big questions around Cronulla’s attack, game management, captain’s challenge and football IQ.

We also update the Bally M, look at the top-four equation, preview Sunday’s clash with the Titans on the Gold Coast, and assess how the Sharks line up with Niwhai Puru in the halves and Addin Fonua-Blake back in the pack.

Plus, we go back through some famous Sharks late-season wobbles — from 2016 through to 2017, 2005, 2021 and 2024 — and ask whether this is just a temporary dip or a genuine warning sign heading into September.
