2022 NRL Round 9 - Cronulla Sutherland Sharks Vs New Zealand Warriors @ Pointsbet Stadium, Sunday 8th of May 4.05pm

[Sir Chadley]

sure is
I think we will step up and start fast.

warriors got pumped two weeks ago, then a tight victory over the raiders (didn't see that game so not sure how good they were)

They were terrible but somehow the Raiders were worse.

uuughh!

 

[Walley_01]

Wow, he’s a little guy or undersized for the pack isn’t he?

Yeah but must be trying to fit all our reserve outside backs in.

His very similar to Val Holmes size

Raiders Warriors was a **** show

 

[sharks2010]

Getting close to our top 17. Only BHU missing. I reckon we will miss him more than you know while he is out injured.

I think the smart people have already worked out how much we already miss him now mate haha

 

[apezza]

Hope we smash SJ and get in his face

If you sit in row 5 you might catch one of his passes!

 

[Gards]

Beware SJ weaving masterclass

Yeah that cutout pass into the 3rd row of seats is deadly.

it is if you carrying a tray


anyways I'm glad Fitz has ended the Trindall bench experiment (at least for the time being)

 

[Thresher]

Hope we smash SJ and get in his face

If anyone bites him I hope it's not McInnes.

Would be easy to prove forensically.

 

[andrew's_sharks]

I really feel like we have missed Finucane the past couple of weeks. Looking forward to him being back. Much better bench this week. Hopefully Graham can find some form.

Unlike Jon Voights pencil

 

[stalefish]

I wonder if Iros been thrown in the back row for the physicality? he definately can do the yards

thomas rodwell in j.flegg has gone from wing to back row in recent weeks.

dont know if its accomidating whos avaliable with the respective teams or is the club grooming them?

 

[Sir Chadley]

Most tipsters are expecting us to bounce back on Sunday. And I think we will.
As long as we don't take the Warriors lightly and get a good fast start.

I had hoped that with Fitz now on board and his vision and structures that we would not be a team that loses 2 games in a row.

I have been in Auckland all week.

Thought there maybe a murmur of Sharks V Warriors. At a pub yesterday afternoon (Good George brewery - Pilsner is 5 *****), blokes talking footy, made the mistake of thinking try are talking League - nope, nope nope. Not a word, no radio etc.

Anyways…I did see a great show about Warriors legends (Monty Betham? interviewing Nathan Friend - bloody late at night though.

Must be tough being a leage man in the epicenter of Rugby Onion & a plutonic plate fault line that is overdue by 60 years to go off like F*&^% Krakatoa.

 

[GF78]

Royce should have a sit down with Blayke and let him know what the code word is for when he has Reece picked out defending the try line.

Keep it simple. ”4”.

 

[GF78]

Reece is a speedhump - Royce should be running over him!

Royce Rolls Reece?

 

[GF78]

McInnes ain’t doing it for me when he starts, he was mad off the bench.. it’s like a Finucane coming on when the other team is tired, it’d be a nightmare to defend him constantly coming at you with energy

With Energy & that “Hillbilly 27 chromosome” glint in his eye..bloody off puting.

If there was ever a case for “don’t judge a book by its cover” - its Cam McInnes - possible the sharpest bloke out there.

We potentially fall into a bit of a pack if we drop this one - same wins as (likely) Eels, Broncos, Roosters, Manly, and Warriors

If we don't win could be tight between us and Eels for 4th and Roosters might be the only other ones to challenge on for and against, but I'm petty keen to stay ahead of that group and be a win clear in the top 4.

We have the team to win and win well.
If we are switched on.

That’s the million $ question isn’t it, speaking for me only but it’s amazing of what x 3 consecutive poor half’s can do to your outlook.
I hated us clocking off in the second v Manly & I wasn’t fussed on Fitz sort of dismissing it as not s as concern. (publicly, atleast, who knows if he was more stern with the team behind closed doors)

Then we come out last Thursday, flu or not & were woeful & dropped a game which I’m sure will hurt us when jockeying for positions later in the season, Fitz again was ok with our first half.

I’m not sure what happened to our focus on defence, it’s like after Melbourne cracked it open we forgot how to defend
