Live from Melbourne and joined all the way from the Netherlands, Boldo and Jimmy break down a brutal Sharks loss to the Melbourne Storm, going down 30–6 in what felt like a textbook dismantling.

It’s Jimmy’s ET Stand hosting debut—much like Atkinson, he’s been sitting on the bench, but unlike Atkinson, he actually got involved.

In this monster debrief episode, we unpack:

• How the Storm exposed our brittle edges early
• Will Kennedy’s concrete boots and aerial woes
• Calls to move Talakai to the middle and give Stonestreet a go at fullback
• A scathing fan reaction from the Melbourne Sharks Bay (feat. 2.0 and Tim from The Shark Cage)
• A heated discussion on Fitzgibbon’s selection loyalty and tactical rigidity
• The search for anyone worthy of 3-2-1 points
• Whether the season is cooked—or if we can jag a finals berth with two byes and five home games to come
• Plus, some in-the-stands crowd banter and a lesson in shutting up screaming kids

- Which Sharks players Daniel actually rates (yes, AFB makes the cut)

- The 2016 Grand Final, Billy Slater shoulder charges, and whether he's a grub or not 🤔

- Why the Storm can win the minor premiership... and how the Sharks could fall out of the eight

The Sharks fanbase is in meltdown mode again after another crushing collapse, and this Tuesday night live show dives right into it. With Boldo banned after jinxing us mid-game, Franko takes the reins alongside a slightly calmer Matty Williams, a freshly reappeared Lats and Kelly (eventually).

We hit every stage of Sharks grief – disbelief, anger, analysis, resignation, and jokes – with a free-flowing, no-holds-barred episode.

📌 Key discussion points include:

• How on earth did we blow a 16-point lead to the Broncos?
• The baffling continued selection of Atkinson and the missing bench impact
• Defensive structures, discipline, and Fitzy’s post-game comments dissected
• Fan frustration at stagnation, player form, and leadership voids
• The storm looming: can we bounce back in Melbourne?
• CK’s brilliant “Around the League” rundown, plus NRLW and lower grades updates
• Ripster the Pop Vinyl joins the shelf and CK reveals the ultimate merch flex – a full-sized Sharks NFL helmet
• Heated live chat debates, a fan-submitted fun fact (kind of), and plenty of laughs to soothe the pain
