    DEBRIEF | Sharks vs Eels Trial Match Week #2 2026

    In this episode of The ET Stand – The Debrief, David Boldo and Franco react live to Cronulla’s 40–6 trial loss to Parramatta at the newly redeveloped Henson Park. Streaming across YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, the boys shake off the off-season rust, laugh about missing graphics and borders, and dive into what actually matters from a trial where most of the Sharks’ top squad sat out. They break down the context behind the result, explaining the heavy rotation, the inexperience across the backline and what the coaching staff were likely trying to get out of the hit-out. There’s a detailed look at which young players impressed, who missed their chance, and which names Franco is quietly tipping as future first graders. Regular caller Williams 2.0 joins the show to defend Sam Stonestreet, talk season expectations and plant the flag for a top-four finish, while journalist Stephen Russo calls in from Henson Park to describe the atmosphere, the crowd, the $20 million ground upgrade and how the game looked from the sideline. The episode also shifts to the All Stars clash, with a strong review of Nicho Hynes and Braydon Trindall’s performances, Briton Nikora’s starting credentials and Mawene Hiroti’s next chapter. From tactical trial strategy and defensive combinations to captain’s challenge tallies, commentary rants and classic Sharks nostalgia, it’s a full pre-season style debrief. It’s raw, interactive and proudly one-eyed, as the ET Stand builds back into match-ready form ahead of the season proper. Go the Sharks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
