2023 NRL Finals Week 1 - Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks vs Sydney Roosters, 7:50pm Saturday 9th September @ PointsBet Stadium

Got home from work to see the last 10 minutes. Won't be rewatching it. All your comments say it all.

It would be a tough watch. I thought Sharks were the better team - halves could not ice it.

Next season, have 2 dummy halves, enough talk of brailey is an 80min player, rather have a fresh attacking option in the middle who can also tighten it up and get busy with defense.
It puts some pressure on Brailey at hooker and also on the forwards to fight it out for the other 3 bench spots.

Sort the balance out with the halves, way too much Nicho last two years, its not working, either move him to second reciever at five eighth or just make him into a traditional halfback and focus more on game management, stop this switching roles, always having the ball.

Get a proper centre on the left edge, Sifa is good but his speed and defense is questionable against stronger opposition. Ronnie needs to step up also, or put pressure on him with Stonestreet or even Hiroti (cant believe i would ever say that)

Go to market and get a workhorse forward who can toil, preferably one that can play both middle and edge. Need a tough agressive forward, opposite to Kaufusi

I may watch it for the reason that in two weeks I have a 40th school reunion in which I'm going to have to deal with my old school mates who are nearly all Roosters fans. I want to face them with all the facts before they give it to me. Hopefully though the Storm will lift and knock em out beforehand.

We choke at home. Play home semis anywhere else, makes no difference.

Nah mate, we have an advantage playing at home. Didn't you know?

Yep by only losing by a field-goal. I'd rather be thrashed, it'll hurt less.

 

[Super Impose]

**** off Mal Meninga you silly old pig. Cant even string a sentence together.

Yeah go back to politics ..

 

[Pishposh46]

Yeah go back to politics ..

I'll tell him that next time he comes through screening at airport.

We lost by 1 point. Trindall should never have been kicking goals

 

[CrazyMatt]

Let’s be honest though, whoever won tonight was only buying themselves a week, I didn’t see enough from either team to think they’d be a threat to Melbourne in Melbourne, even with all their problems.

 

[Thresher]

We're light years behind the Panthers and Broncos.

Would have been annihilated if we'd managed to get by the Roosters and Storm.

we are so far away from a premiership we may as well be Canterbury

Whoever made that decision …FMD

 

[Purple Shark]

Team isnt good enough, coach isnt good enough

Didnt deserve to win

 

[Pishposh46]

Ironic that Walker's last game before they dropped him was against us at Shark Park, he then comes back and has a blinder and kicks the winning field-goal.

 

[Pishposh46]

Tell him and duck !!

Not wrong!

Their right side defence shot with injuries .
Rather than shift right and THEN come back to our left to exploit ?
What do we do ?
Go the opposite side ALL NIGHT .
Like watching a replay of when Thurston was BUSTED in an Origin decider .
DUMB
