2022 NRL Round 17 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs. Melbourne Storm @ Pointsbet Stadium, Sydney, Thursday 7th July 7:50pm

[Super Impose]

2 of their most dangerous players in Munster and Grant are out, you can't ignore that.

They dont have a Hynes to call up this time too. Shame Papi is back, he would have been a handy out also.

Very keen to see how we step up against a top 4 team

Defending Pap will be #1 item on the tip sheet this week ..

I think the wet weather fatigue is a myth.
Was a lot slower game with a number of stoppages.
Less fatigue than an 80 min flat out fast game imo

I reckon we'll step up but it's likely we'll fade, hope I'm wrong.

 

[Sir Chadley]

You could see against Manly how much they struggled without Munster. Having said that, I think Hughes is their key. He hardly puts a foot wrong and is a strong bugger. Controls the play really well. If he gets their forwards moving in the wet, we will have a hard time handling them.

 

[Western Sharkie]

I can never work this out on my own... is Olam on the same side of the park as Talakai? That'd be a cracking contest.
Make sure you've got a thermos full of chicken noodle soup for that game, Chad!

If origin players are out, we might be missing Sifa as well

We will miss Sifa. He is in the 17 so will go into camp and not be eligible for us on Thursday night.

 

[Wiz]

Of course we play Melbourne after Bellamy’s given them the worst spray the players have seen from him

 

[Rob]

I’d rather play them after a massive spray and the added pressure that puts on them along with players stepping up to cover origin than after a solid team performance.
A spray from Bellamy isn’t as beneficial without the likes of Smith, slater or Origin players like it would have been in the past to lift them.

It’s Monday, so thought I’d kick this round off.

Hope you are all safe and well.

The boy and I are making our way over for this one so fingers crossed the weather eases off and this game goes ahead.

Where u staying at?

Pretty rare for a game to be called off these days mate because of rain, you'll be right.

Where are you sitting?

Yep. He's the type of player that we struggle with. Fast, elusive and lokes running through tired forwards

Chad wouldn’t let us rent out the dog house, so we are in the CBD

We are going to the swans game on Friday night before heading down to Melbourne Sat morning and the Freo game Sat night

You are much better off in the CBD mate than my dog house!

Hope you keep yourself dry on Thursday night, you'll certainly need ponchos in GA.

rain on thursday around points bet drops to about 40% chance of rain game time
compared to 95% it is now!!!

 

[Bundy Shark]

So with this weather showing no respite I wonder if the Storm have better weather to do their training, ball-work & defensive drills in Vic this week.

Hope so. Would much rather train in it all week than turn up to the conditions on game day.

Can't run without a head!

That's the spirit! No prisoners!

That’s what Chad thought verses Ponga !
