2021 NRL Round 25: Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs. Melbourne Storm, Friday 3 September 2021 6pm @ Cbus Super Stadium

[Sparkles]

Write all the positions on slips of paper and players draw from a hat before the game.

Works for Connor

 

[Sparkles]

They'll probably still have
Pap at 1
Hynes at 6
Hughes at 7
One of their guns playing hooker

Already a classy spine .
Couple of BIG boppers back.
We'll need our A game .
AND I think we will bring it

You'd think to win this it'd basically be our GF

A Grand Final against the Storm? We're a sure thing!

Broncos first time , Warriors and Knights game wins would have seen us cruising into the finals.
We managed to stuff those up .
Lucky it's only the Storm this time

He also loves Ricky more and would like to help him out. Uncle Nick also loves Ricky and a Roosters loss will not change their position on table.

Roosters could move to 4th if they beat Raiders, Pennies beat Eels and Manly lose.

Good news, Roosters play before the Cows/Manly Game

Even so, teams are limited to how many changes they can make these days once teams have been announced on Tuesday.

Our GF is today at 4pm

Unless there are many late changes to the Storm team named - were gone …

 

[Nulla Boy]

****ing hell...have some faith.

 

[bort]

Those in the media inaccuracy bashing convo will be please to note that

Sharks: Matt Moylan returns to the starting side for the first time since round 15 with Luke Metcalfe moving to the bench in the only change to the side which knocked off Brisbane last week to climb into eighth spot.

However it is not the only change.
We are also starting Teig over Talakai which I like, although didn't expect, Hannay must be reading on here (hopefully not his own thread)

The Storm side named is about as beatable as they are gunna realistically get, other than maybe only one of Cheese and Grant getting a game. Surely Lumelume needs a game against Sharks more than Olam does...

Melbourne still wheeling out a bloody good team despite the outs. Moylan starting ahead of Metcalf for us. Wilton starting ahead of Talakai.

 

[CrazyMatt]

You hold it it high regard, I’m sure others do too. Do they give them an award at the Dally M’s? They give them cash. What else can we do to reward them?

Mate the cash they give them is laughable. $100K is nothing these days.

More should hold it in high regard, not enough people realise how bloody hard it is to be the best team over a whole regular season. It should be a much bigger deal then it is. One of the things that confuses me about Rugby League.

Agree. The prizemoney is abysmal, should be $1m.

100%

 

[MMsharks]

sort of wish either one; harry or brandon were out though

 

[bort]

Moylan starting ahead of Metcalf for us.

Just as bad as the NRL media, ignoring poor Teig's start

I thought he started last week for some reason. I’ll fix it since you had a whinge about it LOL. Happy?

 

[Sir Chadley]

Some of those named 18-21 can still come in for other players.

Johns for Hughes
Lumelume for Jennings
Atkinson for Nicho
Loiero for Lewis
