Match 2024 NRL Round 2 - Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks vs Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, 6pm Friday 15 March @ PointsBet Stadium

Have had a full offseason together though. If anything, I think it's Nicho. He's moving into a traditional Chad halfback style role. Had he run the ball in the last two games?

Last night? According to NRL.com only the most out of any player on the field.

It's more important that Trindall is playing....
JK!!

It sure was. Some more promising signs near the end with Will on the sweep, but we shouldn't kid ourselves about cour point scoring. Last week we had a barge over try from Ronnie and this week a lucky accident with Sifa and Ronnie, bot of which were pretty critical.

Definitely work to be done but there was plenty of unfulfilled opportunities too.

I think Kaufusi spilled on that may well have been a walk over try, Tuku went over twice and was held up, plus the play where Ronnie put it on a platter for Kennedy AND Wilton and they butchered it.

I think we are also playing down how much the dogs were up for it. They turned up yesterday, unfortunately for them they dont have much strike so they werent going to really threaten much.

Definitely room for improvement but im not too concerned at this point. Id rarher early season clunky wins over some of the **** we’ve seen

Scrimage and game time are entirely different things. Opponents will always try to nullify the threats. Nicho is our biggest. Give it time. Its 2 games and 2 good wins.

I reckon some of you blokes woukd complain if we won a grand final but didnt do it good enough

We haven't begun 2 from 2 for a while.

Yeah but what would they know.

He needs 4 Try assists, 6 line break assists a 40-20 and 78 brushes of hair out of his eyes for this forum to be impressed with his game

It's not a complaint, it's an observation. They look clunky.

You don't think Nicho is playing a lot more like a traditional half now?

22 all runs
3 dummy half
116m

I guess he did.

I actually think Ronnie butchered that, he should have passed, not kicked IMHO

That would be nice TBF.

Yep but i thought he played well, one of their few that really troubled us.
