Match 2023 NRL Round 2 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs. Parramatta Eels @ Bankwest stadium Friday 10th March @ 6:00pm

[The Punisher]

Onto round 2
Things can (hopefully) only get better

 

[Sutty]

I guess Williams gets a week off with the concussion so hopefully Hunt and Hazelton are fit, maybe we carry a back on the bench this week.

Also gives us an exciting opportunity to see another McInnes swan dive if he has to play any time on an edge.

Hazelton
Berrell
Bradbury
Tracey
Atkinson
Hiroti

When is Colquhoun fit?
Havent heard anything

No Williams& Wade - we need big bodies to match Parramatta.
So I'd go Hazelton & Atkinson (move Talakai into middle when he comes on)

 

[Gumby]

Posted in the wrong thread.

Hazleton in for williams 100%. His size will help with this game.

 

[Gumby]

How was Tracey’s defence when he played in the centres?

Nothing official confirmed with Colquhoun but was suggestion it could be a longish one

 

[Super Impose]

We could see 3 forwards plus Tracey ..

 

[Gumby]

This game is a huge concern for me.

 

[Gards]

How was Tracey’s defence when he played in the centres?

suspect enough - getting burned with footwork and steam rolled with size

tries hard but so should any player that puts on our jersey

I would rather Hiroti or Iro. Ikuvalu my preference over both but apparently out until mid season

 

[Gumby]

Can ikavalu play centre? Or is he an out and out winger

 

[Gards]

He can play both and has done so for us

Sharks website actually has him listed as a centre. He goes pretty hard in either position IMO

 

[MMsharks]

a miracle if we get a win here
see you in rd 3!

 

[MrDravid]

Last 3 games: 151 missed tackles, 41 errors, 97 points conceded.

Doesn't matter who we pick if that continues.

Ouch

Doesn't make for good reading but I'm not freaking out. We just lost to Souths with no Nicho and bombing one try and having one try ruled forward - which was questionable imo.

We played worst last year Rd 1 vs Raiders.

Plus we all know our Rd 1 record

Also that 12 point turnaround when Ronnie fugged up the try and then they scored straight was a huge turning point. Just put the fucking ball down

 

[CHOGM]

Tracey for Wade and Hazelton for Williams. I don’t mind it in that Tracey could come in and play centre giving Sifa a spell in the middle. Also Tracey’s energy and speed are damaging when he’s on song. And he has played a lot of minutes in this side so he’ll slot in well.

Depending on how adventurous Fitz is he also has the option of switching Trindall to 13 and Tracey to half during the game. Trindall wax hood in the middle last year and Tracey could just do what he normally does but one position in. Moylan would take over in that scenario.

 

[CHOGM]

Trindall was good

Wow, thanks, I hate it haha

Why not let the 7 keep playing 7 and run the ball of energy at 13 if you want to use them both in a 6-13 role

Not a fan of switching Tricky to lock, too much fucking around with him. He's an out and out half and a pretty good one, the experiment of playing him elsewhere needs to stop imo.

Is nicho expected to be back this week?
