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

[Proud Shark]

Talakai HAS to aim up this week, big assignment. Strange the Rorters carrying a half on the bench?

He did well against Manu when we played them earlier. Kept him silent all night. However, that was before they turned the corner.

 

[Six Again]

It's clear from the extended benches that both Tracey and Manu aren't guaranteed to play.

We have Iro, Atkinson, Kennedy, and Moylan as options to come in. They have Hutchinson, Allen, and Paulo as options to come in.

Surprised that Hiroti is not on list but no issues with Atkinson being listed . Is Hiroti injured ?

 

[apezza]

My gates will be open from 4pm where the beer and Southo will be flowing...

Is there a live fan site there?

 

[Pishposh46]

Connor Tracey says he's definitely playing. Knee feels good, just saw it on Nine News.

No clue. I'd agree it's surprising if he's not and didn't make the cut.

Unfortunately Sifa has turned a corner as well ..

Hope he keeps Manu in check ..

Is there a live fan site there?

Yes, you knock at the gate wearing one of these

 

[CHOGM]

I like the italics. Makes it look official

I was like “oh ok then, we’ll that’s good news”. Thank you doctor Italics. What a schmuck.

Whilst great news I am skeptical seeing as they named about 45 fullbacks on the extended bench. Must be in some doubt.

6pm according to my tickets

Thanks mate!

Yeah just in case something happens between now and Saturday.

Can you put it in italics so we know it’s official?
Although the italicised text was slightly confused - a sprain typically is ligament damage

Whilst great news I am skeptical seeing as they named about 45 fullbacks on the extended bench. Must be in some doubt.

Who else do we have available to name though?
Berrell the most obvious one but clear Fitz has no intention to ever play him if Blayke is playing.
Hiroti another FB
THT and other forwards probably not up to scratch and Colquhoun already there as cover. None of the youngsters (Puru, SS, Bradbury) are gunna get a run over anyone named.

Supremely confident in us getting the win here. The Demons of last yr will be exorcised.

and when a Fitzgibbon can finally win a finals match.

...as coach.

 

[Born&bred]

"Roosters give away 6.5 penalties per game - most in the NRL"

Is that fair dinkum? I'm sure we are worse?

 

[Thresher]

Les Davidson would test it by decking a Rooster in the first exchange

One of my all time fave "harmen" - he wouldn't get through 10 minutes of a game these days without being sent off, but the carnage he left behind would be a sight to see..

Really? Why?

This ones an each way bet for mine, but they appear to have come into the finals with more momentum.

First 20 could decide it I'm thinking.

I like that BHU and Rudolf are getting into good playing condition at the right time.

Really wish Kennedy hadn't been injured. Hope our attack is smooth nevertheless.

No idea how this will turn out.
