The captain is sidelined... and so is Blayke Brailey.

With ET Stand skipper Boldo unavailable this week and Cronulla's on-field captain facing time on the sidelines through injury, Franko takes control as the Sharks prepare for life without one of their most important players.

How big a loss is Brailey? Who replaces him? Does Cronulla need to change the way they play? And can the Sharks continue their push towards September without their No.9 leading the middle?

This week the boys discuss the impact of Brailey's injury, run through the latest ET Stand 3-2-1 Player of the Year standings, preview the upcoming clash against the Dragons, and cover all the latest Sharks talking points from around the league.

With Boldo missing in action, Franko is in charge. What could possibly go wrong?
