2022 NRL Round 3: Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs St George Illawara Dragons @ WIN Stadium - Thursday 24 March @ 8:05pm

[Gards]

Score more tries... and convert more kicks

and lose cause they kicked 20x as many field goals as us

In all seriousness if we win by just a point or two, I'll be happy with that. This will be a tough game and the Dragons will be pumped for it.

I'm still not totally sold on our mistake/error rate being fixed, I am actually more confident with our defence than attack at the moment.

I think our weak points are Nikora, Ramien, Talakai (defence on the edge), and our bench is not that great (needs more Hunt) but then again, their bench is not brilliant either.

I think we need to put pressure on Hunt and force him into mistakes and have our line speed and defence made it hard for them.

Their back five have plenty of speed and strength in them but Suli does have errors in him and while the young kid Sloan at Fullback is exciting and dangerous, he is inexperienced and could have an error in him also. Keep the ball away from Ravalawa as much as possible.

Should be a great game, just wished it wasn't so wet.

Keep the ball away from every single one of their players all game and we are gauranteed at least a draw

Dropped Balls/Errors/Discipline will decide this game. We don't complete well we lose. Gotta rush the filths ballplayers stop their forwards' offloads, and Hold the bloody ball. Simple blueprint.

genius, i dont think fitz would have thought of that

Do not put me in a bad mood for the weekend…. Just don’t

with a game plan like that, fitz gonna offer you an assistant coach role, great start to the weekend

Is there something fishy about this Vic?
Do you possibly have a 2nd profile (or 3rd Dosit)??

I'm surprised that we're $1.65 favourites for this game.

That's good to hear mate but forecast from now on is rain with possible storm activity!

Is there a way to buy tickets in any of the stands if they are sold out on Ticketek? Is there a members re-sale option or something?

Discipline is the key. Our attack and defence are better than theirs, but they have been playing good percentage football*. If we trot out a game like the raiders first half we will lose. If we can get an even share of possession and field position I'm comfortable we win this.

*Teach me to read stats first. The dragons have actually been fairly ill disciplined, their opponents have just been worse. Their kick diffusals are around 60% and they completed at 80 and 70% respectively.

We play like last week and we win.

If it's monsoonal. 200 on a dry track.

 

[bort]

Their forwards have been decent, no Burgess does hurt them a bit as he was solid but Sua Sims De Belin is a decent back of scrum
Mbye for 80 minutes will be weaker than Macca with Mbye jumping in

Just sold my house and put it on a double of this plus Ash Barty winning the French Open.

With John Morris behind him making sure Hannay is taking down those insightful notes

When Morris looked all he saw was Hannah’s doodling of tits & willys - like Jacky Treehorns disturbing scribe in The Big Lebowski. I digress, but what a movie…
