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

He isnt trying to get off, hes trying for a downgrade

If you are gonna fight it, fight it

If you lose its a week extra, if you win you are free

So which is it? Would a downgrade be less than 100 points?

 

[bort]

Why? We legit named Dale Finucane a week after her ripped Crichtons ear off

He hadn't plead guilty to a charge already like Wade (apparently) has

No idea here, initial chat from Riccio on Monday was he was going for the downgrade in charge to get the weeks down and into fine territory

Now he has plead guilty to one and not the other

Should just go and fight if you think you are not guilty

Do you still get credit for an early guilty plea when you are fighting for a downgrade? Or did they change that rule?

Way better bench than last week

 

[Walley_01]

Wade Graham heads to the judiciary on Tuesday night after pleading not guilty to a Reckless High Tackle but guilty to a Careless High Tackle.

If he gets a careless high tackle it’s a fine.
So why wouldn’t we name him

I'm assuming that what ever downgrade he gets he's serving some sort of suspension, that or someone stuffed up

Tracey? What? Why? Ugh

 

[Sutty]

Decent team list again.

Hopefully we don’t give them a free ride for playing Cartwright like we did for Chee Kam.

Watching Eels last week their bench props were NSW Cup quality… well Makatoa is decent but BA didn’t give him any minutes.

 

[bort]

Cartwright went okay last week I thought.
He can do a lot of damage to teams every now and again.
Sometimes it’s even the opposition

 

[Sutty]

Bold prediction; Carty is absolutely going to fall for a Trindall dummy.

 

[egg]

Kaufusi will most likely to get a run against his Old Club , but would love Hazelton in our 17

Kaufusi would be locked in. Tracey the only one who could drop out

Hope so, not sure what having Tracey on the bench is for? We need forwards.

Could Fitz be looking at putting Talakai in the 2nd row, benching Wilton and putting Tracey at centre?

Can't see that happening and nor should it.

 

[Deleted member 3365]

Agreed.

Just baffled as to why Tracey is there.

 

[Proud Shark]

Agreed.

Just baffled as to why Tracey is there.

Because Wade is out, and was in the team as a utility. Fitz has shown he favours having a utility on the bench.

Why was Taaffe put in rabbitohs side last weekend? Was Demetrio planning to move Latrell to centre to play him at FB?
No he was just a utility on the bench, not that uncommon.

Fitz may not feel we need forwards. Had McInnes, Williams and Graham all play not tie minutes last weekend. Can cover a full set of rotations with just three forwards

 

[Thresher]

With the way head check regulations are being managed at the moment there's a fair chance teams will be needing to use replacement backs during games too

 

[Sutty]

Yeah it's kind of like what is more likely to be a factor in the game, the forward who gets 10 minutes from the bench or the utility on the bench who covers every backline position when someone gets concussion or an injury. Independent doctors are a thing these days. It's fine that we can put Wilton or Nikora in a spot at centre to cover an injury, but who covers their position after they move?
