2024 NRL Round 9 - Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks vs St George Illawarra Dragons, 4.05pm Sunday 5 May @ PointsBet Stadium

[Milkshark]

Get the ball out to Atkinson in the opposition 20, if Nicho isnt gonna step up

Been our best player first half

Agree

 

[MMsharks]

We are completing at 86%… ball handling is fine.
We get a fair deal second half we win easy…

always love a good contest
let the game flow
just need patience

 

[brettmaccc]

Yeah but the ref has nothing to do with it ….

Yes and no. he's slowed the game down and picked up on everything. Do I like it? No. Let them play. But its how its going - thats the circumstances.

Adjust. Its the same when you play in the wet. You don't push the offloads. Need more discipline

I’ll take “a win” thou. Don’t care about the “easily” so much.

1 point or 30 point win will still only gives us 2 competition points.

You’d have to expect a soggy, wet game would be slower but some of the ruck infringements have been on the soft side.

Very keen to blow the whistle

 

[Western Sharkie]

My son who is at the game, sent me this.

Where is the white stick?

 

[Wilson]

We’re actually playing pretty well. We’ve had less ball and have completed well. We’re making great metres throughout the set.

Hynes will probably cop some criticism from the people on here but he’s having to do it all with Atkinson in the team. Atkinson in his own right is a good player, but more of a fullback than five-eighth.

Playing more a Battering ram or run first than a ball player at 6

100%

lets get this rest; use the conditions and be patient.

Noted the dragons looked mightily gassed near the end there. yes they got these two tries of the back of some calls that helped their position.

lets hope we come out to play second half

We have 86% completion? We ain’t pushing passes

 

[Vichyssoise]

much better set

 

[sharkstragic]

How did he not get that down

 

[Milkshark]

Dragons on the back foot after Hynes break, and Brailey goes for the crash ball.
Not smart.

 

[brettmaccc]

How did he not get that down

Because it was a 1 out hit up after a half break on 5th tackle. Everyone scrambled to tackle Hynes. So the ruck is crowded

It’s wet, i get it.. but we should be diving at the line ET STULE

 

[sharkstragic]

Not sure I agree with that call

 

[Greg86]

Love Kasey Badger

 

[Vichyssoise]

Kasey Badger to the rescue... who would have thought.

 

[sharksandwich]

Only tuning in now. Are we dogshit?

Keep going through the middle. They're starting to crack and fatigue.
