Carney's kicks against the Cowboys were actually pretty poor options and appeared to be limited by his hamstring injury - I think we just have to face facts and accept that Robbo (and Gallen - dammit!) will be our kickers against Manly.
There will be no 40/20 kicks from us in this game - you can put your house on it.
We played an awsome second half against the cowboys. Carney was injured. We've won without him before and we can again.
I just watched the cowboys game for the first time and it was great to see us play with so much heart, without errors and with attacking options. Crowd was amazing. Got me pumped just watching you guys. I hope we can pull just as big a crowd for this game.
Robson is playing great footy and I have full faith in him against the eagles. Lewis, Gordan, Bukuya, Tupou, Feki, Wright, Morris and Beau all stepped up and nothing is stopping them from doing it again. We play like that and we should win.
Taga-fkn-tese is a star, glad hes with us for 2 more years.

Cronulla Sharks playmaker Todd Carney gets radical treatment in bid to play against Manly

Todd Carney praying for semi-final miracle
NewsSeptember 16, 2013 2:49
IT'S the miracle cure that surfing's Layne Beachley used to claim a record seventh world title.
Now injured Cronulla star Todd Carney has adopted the same $800-a-day treatment in a desperate bid to be fit for Friday night's must-win final against Manly.
Despite not naming Carney at five-eighth on Tuesday, with representative forward Luke Lewis chosen instead, Sharks coach Shane Flanagan is refusing to rule out his playmaker, who is battling a strained hamstring.
The Sharks have employed highly regarded practitioner Dr Chris Mortensen to treat Carney's injury, using a method called scenar therapy.
The process involves an electronic device being applied to Carney's hamstring for 45 minutes, three times a day, which causes the nerves to settle around the injury, decrease inflammation and ultimately speed-up the recovery process in order for Carney to be back on the field running.
The former Dally M medal winner started the therapy on Tuesday under the guidance of Mortensen, who has left his Narrabeen clinic to spend the next four days in the Shire and by Carney's side.
"The medical staff looked at other methods like the hyperbaric chamber, but this was the therapy that after doing the research shows can get results," Flanagan said.
"We're not prepared to say Todd won't play yet. We've invested in this therapy process so we'll see how he is later in the week."
Mortensen's scenar therapy has been credited for not only helping Beachley overcome a crippling neck injury ahead of her seventh world title in 2006, but also assist in the recovery from injury of Olympic champions Torah Bright and Natalie Cook and NRL stars Jarryd Hayne, Jamie Lyon and Tim Mannah.
In a recent interview, Beachley commented how the treatment had saved her career.
“With consistent treatment and maintenance, I was able to avoid surgery and retirement and return to competitive surfing without pain and go on to win my seventh ASP Women's World Championship," Beachley said.
Sharks physiotherapist Ian Austin said the club's bid to have Carney back on the paddock against the Sea Eagles began the moment he limped from Allianz Stadium following the Sharks narrow-win last Saturday night.
And after speaking with Parramatta physiotherapist Vikki Locke, Austin picked up the phone to Mortensen.
“You end up being bombarded with a lot of options that you can use to try and accelerate the recovery, but this is the one that was highly recommended, especially by Vikki, who has had success with Hayne and Mannah in the past," Austin said.
“With finals football which is knockout football, you've got to look at every option and the best option. So we went with this.
“Every little bit helps to get him right and if it's not for this Friday then we want him ready to go next week in a potential grand final qualifier."
Carney claimed on Monday he would need a miracle to overcome the injury in time for the all-imporatnt clash with Manly at Allianz Stadium.
“But maybe this treatment is the miracle I was talking about," Carney said. “In reality, I would’ve flown to Fiji if they told me I could get back on the field by Friday.
“Luckily the club have gone with this other method so I can stay here and do everything possible to try and get it right.
“I can feel the treatment is working already, but I probably won't fully know if I'm right until Thursday or Friday."
Carney was nothing more than a frustrated onlooker at Sharks training on Tuesday, as Lewis, Wade Graham, Chad Townsend and Tyrone Peachey all spent time at five-eighth.
Prop Andrew Fifita ran freely showing no ill-effects of a calf and knee complaint.

What has changed is Todd got badly burnt last year and he doesn't want to damage himself of let the team down by breaking down. I'm glad he is trying this new funky method of treatment and hopefully that gets him right for next week assuming we take Manly. I am getting a good feeling we might get them, it sounds like it is going to be super physical and I think that might just carry us through. It should be a really tough forward battle against a great side. I can't wait.

We can't afford any cheap tries against us especially with no Todd in our team, we will do it tough to score points as it is.

I have a bad feeling about this game.....
After last games ref debacle....I have a feeling that some bad calls might be coming our way.

We've just had some bad calls against us,particulay when we've played Manly over the last couple of years.
I might just be being paranoid,but with everything else that's happened this year....
very interesting. It shows how classy of a player he is...no doubt he will really lift for this one.
