Big show this week as we dive head-first into the two major injuries rocking the Sharks and what they mean for 2026.

Boldo and the ever-present Steven “Franko” Franklin are joined by Southside Physiotherapy principal and former Sharks physio Francis Crossle for an in-depth, expert breakdown of Ronaldo Mulitalo’s ACL rehab timeline and Cam McInnes’ complex second reconstruction – how they happen, how long they really take and whether August and May returns are realistic.

Franko rolls out his Top 5 Sharks under pressure for 2026, sparking debate around:

• Blayke Brailey and the captaincy
• The Hynes–Trindall combination
• Will Kennedy’s future
• Jesse Ramien’s contract year
• The Leagues Club project

We also cover:

• 🦈 Sharks captaincy chat – is it Brailey, Hynes or a co-captain model?
• 🏉 Origin eligibility rule explained and what it means for Addin Fonua-Blake & Briton Nikora
• 💰 Siosifa Talakai to the Bears? The $600k question and what the Sharks should do
• 📋 Full Trial #2 team list reaction
• 🔍 Why Teig Wilton wasn’t named
• 🔥 Raiders preview – and how understrength Canberra really are

Plus plenty of Discord chat, listener comments and the usual ET Stand dribble.
