1′ First test for Braydon Trindall’s shoulder

The Sharks pivot launches a long kick and Victor Radley hits his injured right arm as he strikes it.

He’s up and OK, giving a bit of lip to Radley.

I think it’ll be a kick on the other side of the field that will cause issues if his injured right shoulder hits the ground unprotected.

Crowd watch

We were left with about 47,000 empty seats across three games in Sydney in the first week of finals, so it will be interesting to see what sort of crowd we get tonight.

The Sharks fans proved last week with their 17,429-strong crowd that they don’t love travelling to the Sydney Football Stadium, and the Roosters aren’t renowned for having the most passionate fanbase in Australian sport.

It’s never a good look when the NRL can’t fill a 42,000-seat stadium for a final, especially when the AFL is packing out far bigger arenas on the same weekend.
