Match 2024 NRL Round 3 - Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks vs Wests Tigers, 7.35pm Saturday 23 March @ Leichhardt Oval

[Sevshark]

now that they have the oportunity, would like to see Iro given a chance in the 2nd row. watching him a couple of times this year, he runs a straight line, takes the ball up well and is robust enough in defence, with a good bit of flare in attack

Iro hasn't played a game this year so not sure who you're watching.

At 6-0 and then 6-6 I was thinking just stay in the grind and these guys will fold , unfortunately it was us that couldn't stay in the grind , the kinda grind that got us up over the Warriors .

Yep as the coach said - it was set for set - we started well ..

Someone was going to crack - and it was us - against the Tigers - gee …..

 

[Sparkles]

Not sure if a FACT , But apparently before the game Benji printed out each players contract and waved it in their face in the in the dressing room

Threatened to tear them up if they play like last week , he was expecting a big turnaround by tigers .

That's bullshit

Can confirm that would be utter, utter social media bullshit

Fitz and Cam summed it up pretty well I thought

Yep. We got the leg up against the Wahs when Williams and Toby came on, unfortunately didn't have that luxury this week.

Start Williams in the middle, put Burns on the right edge, bring Tuku in for bench impact. If Uele is ready put him on the bench.
Start getting Trindall to manage games, so he gets more experience doing that while its start of the season, Hynes can play a 5-8 role.
Throw in Atkinson as utility to see if he could spark something in the middle, he can play dummy half, or be an attacking option if the halves are choking. Thought Thomas Chester played a good role for the cows coming off the bench yesterday, even sullivan played a basic dummy half role well when Api went off.

1 Kennedy
2 Katoa
3 Ramien
4 Talakai
5 Mulitalo
6 Trindall
7 Hynes
8 Kaufusi
9 Brailey
10 Williams
11 Burns
12 Wilton
13 Mcinnis
14 Atkinson
15 Hamlin-Uele
16 Hazelton
17 Tapuha

Wasn’t Chester starting centre?

Burns defended at 75% in his 30 minutes, would be a concern for me playing him there for 80 (although others didn’t defend much better)

Youre right, was impressed with his runs mid field.

We were shot when Burns came on, think he'd do better starting and building into the game though. Need Williams in the middle

The stuff of rugby league legend. The game that kickstarted the career of the greatest coach of all time. The name of Cronulla forever etched in history.

****, who am I kidding?

The refs had no part to play in us losing last night but still worth comment how inconsistent the officiating is both within game and across rounds.

Will Kennedy gets done for whatever their calling that infringement when he jumped up and actually touched the ball. Player last night jumps up well early and gets nowhere near it and it’s all good.

Toby gets poleaxed around the chin, gets told to get up and play the ball, and also gets sent for a assessment. No penalty.
Cam does the exact same sweet chin music in a tackle 50 minutes later and gets on report.

Make it make sense

Not on a Sunday morning with a slight hangover, mate. Please, show some mercy.

Yeah agree mate. On the Toby one it's good to see that the independent doctor is competent even though the bunker ref isn't. It's good to know that those things are not related. Players' noggins should be protected by someone regardless of whether refs do it.

Some of the challenges on the Sharks kickers probably get called in a lot of other games too.

Challenge on Nicho's 1st ootf is textbook penalty in today's rules I thought

BlakWhite&Blue says it was a "pinky across the jaw", obviously needs a visit to the local optometrist.

Im not gunna read too much into last night game. Was an embarrassment but also, i dont wanna play down how good tigers were. They did everything right.

There is always going to be concerns with teams, no team is perfect, you also arent going to win every game. You wont win every game you should nor will you lose every game you are given no chance in. But the concern is how they respond.

The atitude needs to change. They went into that game thinkin they just needed to run out to get the 2 points. Our million dollar man was absolute dogshit, he deserves every bit of criticism coming him way.

Fitz will have to make some changes due to injury, whether he would have made them or not if no injuries i dunno, but id say Iro will get his run finally.

Careful, mate. All that talk about attitude is a rather contentious issue here. Jusk ask @BurgoShark .
In all seriousness, I share you concern about how they respond. It's nothing new sadly.

Glad i didnt watch this game.
