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

[egg]

Losing 3 forwards and getting down to a 1 man bench didn't help us. Don't see many teams winning in that situation

NO excuse , our team was CRAP from the start without Hunt

There's 17 guys sitting in the shed and there hurting

Tigers could play their best game & I'd still expect us to win.

Or not

 

[bort]

Poor ****s don’t even know their own song and still looked better than us

I think this loss was needed tbh, it hopefully will be a massive wake up call

Lose to Raiders ( they lost too ) next week and all GREAT work undone before bye round 5
HARDEN UP SHARKS

Not wrong but we might be running at their greatest strength with half (or less) of a forward pack

Concerning

 

[Gards]

No team has won the premiership after losing to the Tigers


Cause no one losers to the Tigers

We all know who has to come into bench
Hunt can nurse himself and hang about in NSW Cup UNTIL an opening in first grade happens again

When the grand final tixs go on sale?

I certainly woke up from my dream.

The dream that we are going to have 10 points after our bye.

 

[Shortfin Mako]

They did

Yeah. The problem is we are not Panthers.

To be fair, they don't get to sing much. I bet they were not even expecting this result.

The Sharks have about 1 ball player in Hynes who is relied on too much, a marginal 1st grader at 5/8, and that's about the extent of it.
I like the promise of Hau Tupuha.
You're kidding if you think the Sharks can win a comp with that squad, being realistic is best. Semis maybe, and that's about it, not enough options.

Sutton is a ********, Rudolph gets belted across the jaw, clearly visible, no penalty. I have no doubt if that was a Sharks player, penalty to Tigers, then Rudolph is sent for HIA by doctor because 'nothing to see here' by Butler & Sutton.

Losing Royce Hunt without him having even been on the field was a big loss at the particular point in the game. As far as I am concerned that's a ridiculous rule, if a bloke gets injured in the warm up and hasn't been on field at all you should be able to use a substitute to replace him on the bench.
