2023 NRL Round 3 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs. Canberra Raiders @ GIO Stadium Sunday 19th March @ 6:15pm

[MMsharks]

we are struggling
raiders don't look that exciting either

its hot out there for them

 

[The Punisher]

Our defence is shocking
Show zero urgency or line speed
Constantly giving up cheap metres allowing Raiders to put attacking kicks in, rather than controlling field position.
I dont know whether its fitness, or lack of Mongrel or both, but ita is poor regardless

 

[sharksandwich]

Nikora and Wilton have been great

Its the temperature. Raiders look the same in the middle.

 

[Sevshark]

Surprised we haven't seen Williams yet

 

[MMsharks]

bubba did himself a favour

nice deft kick there for the try to keep us in it

 

[Tightywhitey]

Shouldnt have burned our challenge so early

 

[bort]

Its the temperature. Raiders look the same in the middle.

Yeah as much as we could be better they scored after we walked them down field with (if I remember correctly) a penalty, and then next one a penalty followed by a 6 again

 

[Thresher]

Hope that didn't take too much juice out of our tank.

Think the breeze is behind us in the 2nd half. No idea how strong it is.

 

[The Punisher]

Its the temperature. Raiders look the same in the middle.

What was the excuse last week or vs Bunnies.
Its been the same defensive structure all seaaon.
3 steps forward and stop.

Look at teams like Panthers & Chooks, they shoot off the line as a defensive unit and restrict opponents yardage.

Literally every team this round has had some shocking defence, gotta be the heat

that was weird
live I though yeah

but it was the most obvious bobble in his hands - how did rudolf not know???

oh well

 

[bort]

Maybe not but I think very well could have been succession. Opened and shifted his hand with ball pinned against his body isn’t really ‘lost’

 

[jocktheshark]

We are trying to match them in the forwards when we should be playing out the back more , we are much better when we play football instead of the smash and bash . We need more from the base of the ruck on attack , Brailey for me just seems to facilitate the ball from the ruck to the runner , never puts doubt in their minds .

 

[MMsharks]

notice katoa running hard up the middle, trying, and ramien
but their forwards are on top

our backs haven't got the step up in the returns this game. need a bit of that

 

[Deleted member 3365]

Tricky at some points looks to over play a little

 

[Paul C]

Worst thing to happen to Sifa was Origin. He has been garbage ever since

He has had one good game in his career. He made that Manly centre his bitch.

 

[Sutty]

Tough crowd in here

Rules are simple - never trust a front rower

 

[MMsharks]

Tough crowd in here

its going to be tough
whether heat is a factor, but hope we come out and dominate good field position.

when are attack is on, looks good
