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

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

💬 Comment of the Week: “Puru played well. Better drop him. We only reward mediocrity.” — James Munro

This is the ET Stand. Let the talking do the football.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this explosive post-match debrief, David Boldo Boldeman, Matthew Williams, and 2.0 — gather to process the diabolical Sharks collapse against the Broncos. Leading by 16 points, Cronulla managed to invent yet another way to lose, sparking fury, disbelief, and some of the most brutally honest analysis you’ll hear all season.

Key themes:

• 🤯 Self-sabotage kings: From Atkinson’s ineffective bench stint to basic errors by Trindall, Ronaldo, and Kennedy, the boys break down how the Sharks beat themselves yet again.
• 🧠 Dumb Footy™: Calls for “the dumbest team in the NRL” fly as fans and hosts alike vent about repeated brain snaps, lack of accountability, and mental fragility under pressure.
• 🔁 Bench blunders: The Atkinson conundrum takes center stage again — why is he in the 17? What is his role? And how has Fitzgibbon not fixed this mess after how many weeks?
• 💬 Live fan commentary: The live audience pulls no punches — “a hundred out of ten dumb,” “Fitzy is a myth,” and “stop playing Atkinson at 14” are just the start.
• 🔄 Kennedy, Nicho & the backline puzzle: Calls to drop Kennedy, move Nicho to fullback, and shake up the spine entirely spark a heated positional debate.
• ⚔️ Defence? What defence?: Line integrity collapses, players stop mid-play, and it all comes undone — again. Talakai, Nikora and co. get called out for some soft moments.
• 🧃 And finally… the Tuesday night thumbnail might just read: "Stop. Playing. Atkinson."

It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s everything Cronulla fans are feeling. 🔗 Proudly brought to you by our partners: ⁠solveaccounting.com.au⁠ ⁠mirandahotel.com.au⁠ ⁠morgans.com.au/branch/Cronulla⁠ ⁠southsidephysio.com.au⁠ ⁠displaywear.com.au⁠

Something's in the air, and we’re blaming the Dragons match.

This week’s ET Stand is a longer, looser, and way more unhinged episode than usual. Maybe it’s the rivalry. Maybe it’s the potato and gravy. Maybe it’s just Atkinson still being named on the bench. Either way, the boys go full footy deranged — and it’s glorious.

We cover:

• 🧨 Reactions to our own reactions: Did we overcook the Warriors fallout?
• 🎭 Nicho, Fitz & the big identity crisis – do the Sharks need a shake-up?
• 🧃 Atkinson. Still. There. WHY?
• 🏗️ The never-ending Leagues Club saga
• 🐉 Dragons preview turns into a full-blown therapy session
• 🤯 Family feuds, playground punch-ons, banned teachers, and unprintable hatred
• 📣 Comment section chaos + superchat mania (we raised $15 for the Leagues Club, folks!)
• 📰 Around the League: jerseys, origin bombshells, and CK’s 17th house move

This is one of those episodes — chaotic, hilarious, cathartic and packed with heart. Get around it.

We’re live every Tuesday at 8:30pm and post-match after every Sharks game.

Subscribe, tip your hosts with a superchat, and join the ride.

Up, up Cronulla.
