Who do we have back next week

 

[MMsharks]

Well the finals will be a middle forward contest and ours will surprise the other big teams I think, they ran all over these rep players. Talakai looks ok hopefully fingers crossed, our defense was pretty good. Nobody on report I think. Could definitely be worse.

yep
our defence systems are looking good, blokes covering and we nullify the go forward - which is good. need to ensure its switched on for the finals level
(I would scrap two knights tries there today)

about a mental prep now
all the work has been done; they know what they have to do
the coaching staff Grimaldi; price, Hannay, daniel Holdsworth; noakes- will get things set in place
need to trust the team there - it's over to them and the players now

all we can do is support our arse off!

 

[MMsharks]

Take a bow Fitzy. Taking us to 2nd in his very first year as an NRL coach is impressive

well said

job well done. more to do yet

Who do we have back next week

Kennedy and Finucane it seems. Rudolf also a chance.

 

[Western Sharkie]

All 3 intercepts have been offside

100%

 

[Pishposh46]

Btw our game is the 7.30 game on Sat night.

May have sealed coach of the year. Time will tell.

I wonder if they will go to "who finished up higher"

he may get it;
although Todd payten will whinge to the NRL and say the NRL doesn't favor teams lower in the top 4 and will get the crown

Todd Payten will always whinge about something. Fitzy finished 2nd in his first year, only person who may have something to whine about is Ivan Cleary, and even then he missed around 5 games being injured.

Just finished watching the game. Low energy first half but loved the intent and the attitude in the ten first ten minutes of the second half. Heart almost stopped when Talakai was down with pain. Happy to see him walking around after the game.

Well done to the boys and Fitzy. Second place in the first year is a great result.

Up up Cronulla.

If Finnucane gets 2 weeks for a "reckless tackle" on Crichton then what does Saifiti get for the same 'recklessness'.

Croker should get suspended for a hip drop, that is exactly how you do injury to players. I hope Talakai will be ok.

Royce Hunt has been immense in the middle, and I wonder what Fitz does with Miller, his running from broken play is dangerous, but I suppose he won't be able to fit him in.

I agree 100% Knuckles …

Really starting to feel like we are the most out of form team going into the finals.

Might be a good omen mate. I don't think our form was good going into the 2016 Finals either

 

[Tatus]

Great effort by the club. 6 losses all year and a home final. I’m real confident about next week. With the home crowd we should towel NQ

Not sure about towel, but hopefully the crowd help us just get a win.

Personally I think Crocker is a bit hard done by.
He was sliding off Sifa, not trying to hold on and there was no deliberate action to put pressure on his leg.

The size of the turnaround for the Cowboys will be hard to deny

True but don't forget they still need to travel here which may even things up slightly.

we were given no chance down at the raiders

Matt prior changed that
