Southern Huskies' Mason Bragg prepared for visiting Southland Sharks threat

The Huskies have had inconsistent form to open the season, sitting in sixth place with 2-3 record and will welcome the 3-2 Sharks to Launceston for the Tasmanian team's first home game in the region.

Bragg said the Huskies' preparation for the game had been strong for the Sharks and he was excited to have another home game after a lot of travel to start the season.

"It is going really well, it is good to get a couple of home games under our belt after having to fly over and back to and from New Zealand and it will be good to get our feet grounded." Bragg said.

"We feel like we have got a bit of rhythm over the last couple of games, although we lost to Wellington last weekend, we felt like it was really good hit out."

Bragg has averaged six points, three assists and just over two rebounds a game across the first five games of the season, with the difference in his role with the Huskies taking some time to get used to.

"It has been me trying to transition into the new role and primarily play defence and try to set the guys up as a pure point guard instead of a scoring point guard.

"That transition has been tough, but I am having a lot of fun playing with the guys and learning to play the role.

"It is going to help my game in the long run and may help me get more chances going forward."

Bragg said he was well-acquainted with the player he was likely to guard on Sunday and was looking forward to the challenge.

"I know they have Jarrad Weeks on their squad and he played for Hobart a couple of years ago and he is very fast and very exciting.

"It is going to be good to try and match it with someone that I think will be around my level of athleticism."

But Bragg was confident the Silverdome crowd would be large and very loud and will give the Huskies the support they will need to get over the top of the Sharks in the 5pm clash.
