Round 16 2017 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, Sunday 25 June @ 4pm, SCG Stadium

[HaroldBishop]

These pricks almost always give us a tough time and I expect nothing different here. This and then Roosters the following game will give us a good indication of where we're sitting.

 

[Bundy Shark]

They'll be real tough, based off how we have gone at home this season we'll need to lift by another 50% just to get close to them.

 

[snowman]

us, 36-10

 

[Western Sharkie]

Done.
Someone let the NRL know that we take that scoreline so no need to play and we simply move on to the next round!

 

[djhabib]

I reckon we win fairly easily here.

 

[Thresher]

Hopefully Jimmy steps up to fill the void left by Morts' departure.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Hope you're right but I don't see it while our attack remains clunky.

 

[Milkshark]

This wont be an easy win at all.

We have 5 origin players backing up to their 1.

That alone makes it a tough ask.

 

[northofthebordershark]

I'd like to see Edrick get another run for this one.

Manly are in great form this year, we suck on home turf. Should be a close one. Really looking forward to this one, should be a cracker.

 

[HaroldBishop]

So do we get some leeway when naming our team tomorrow? Seems stupid to have to stick to the named squad if we cop 3 or 4 injuries from SOO.

Yes, will name 23 players instead of 21.
How I understand the naming of sides affected by players backing up, for every 2 players in origin you get an extra player to be named in the team list tuesday.

Thanks Bizzy. :good:

 

[snowman]

just need to chop up tommy biscuit legs and we will have no troubles with this game

 

[BurgoShark]

Mortimer might actually play. The report said he leaves "after the Manly game". I reckon we will see Mortimer get another run at hooker, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was used to give Maloney a bit of a rest late.

I'd like to see Edrick get another run for this one.

Yes please. I've had enough Beale. Someone please take it away.

That's fair. Even if all five pulled up lame we should be able to stitch a team together from the remaining 18 players. I'd say the 23 will be the same 17 from last week, plus the 5 origin players, plus one more bloke.

 

[vicsharkfan]

Want to get 2 games clear of 5th place would be sexxy

 

[Maybe Next Year]

Don't have a good feeling about this one.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Don't have a good feeling about this one.

Same here. But I'd back us to get the chocolates as long as all our SOO players are healthy.
