NRLW 2024 NRLW GRAND FINAL - Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks vs Sydney Roosters - 3:55pm Sunday 6 October @ Accor Stadium

[SF]

Yes it's a chance to double our Premiership count... but got to say, there doesn't seem to be much interest out there.

Not sure whether that's because we're outsiders, or just generally not interested in NRLW. It is definitely more difficult when we don't know the players in depth like the NRL players. Though I think Biddle and Penitani rank up there with some of our best ever Sharks players, relative to the rest of their competition.

 

[Sir Chadley]

I hope Tonegato, Staples and Ravics are practicing their bomb catching skills this week as Kelleher has an amazing boot on her and can really make them wobble (the football I mean!)

 

[stormshark]

This Sharkies team, seem real tight, and their coach a ripper. The way the Injured Sharkies Fullback spoke on Fox , very inspiring. Time to test the old adage " A champion team, will beat a team of champions" .

They play a really unique style compared to the other women's teams, very defensively based. That's where they can win it. Glad to be the underdog, have we every been favourites in a GF?

I had to look it up... Storm $1.80, Sharks $2.05 in 2016

So probably not

I think it's a lack of interest in NRLW which is a shame, I think it's great.

I must admit I've struggled to get into it. I enjoy it when I watch, but I think my footy content absorption is already near capacity.

Yep, I'm already watching 8 games a week
No space for NRLW. Did watch them play last weekend but that was first one I've watched.

It is a decent product though, certainly watchable

Yeah that's fair. I'm happy to miss a game of NRL, unless it's us, to watch our girls play.

 

[SF]

Yeah I tend to watch only Sharks/Jets-related games these days, and a few other big games, so I guess I have capacity.

But I also will skip NRLW if it's the wrong timeslot.

For a Grand Final, I'm definitely excited though. Would be amazing for the club to have a second premiership, including for sponsorship.

 

[Sir Chadley]

I watch all I can when I can. During regular rounds I’ll watch all NRL games as well as the NRLW games as long as I don’t have anything on. But if I’m home, I’ll definitely watch it.

The way I get around it is that the wife complains that Kayo is the most expensive streaming app we have so I’m told to make use of it!

With all the cricket and golf I watch I easily get my money’s worth.

NRLW Team List - Grand Final v Roosters

The Cronulla Sharks have named a largely unchanged team for their historic NRLW grand final clash against the Sydney Roosters this Sunday at Accor Stadium.

www.sharks.com.au

The only major adjustment to Tony Herman's team is the experienced Holli Wheeler returning from suspension at the expense of Chloe Saunders. Wheeler has been named to start at prop, with Tegan Dymock reverting to the bench.

 

[Ryan McGoldrick #1 Fan]

Hopefully a better showing then the last time these two teams met....

 

[stormshark]

We be right, something steely about this side last week suggests they be very hard to beat.

 

[SF]

Hopefully a better showing then the last time these two teams met....

I think it's a better team now:

• Tonegato at fullback instead of Staples
• Hannaway at 5/8 instead of Tonegato
• Staples on wing instead of du Toit
• Hanisi and Takapautolo on bench instead of Smale and Saunders (Saunders debatable)

@bort

Hopefully we can win this game then and show the NRL that we are more serious than the Roosters!
So show us some love!!!

Love ya western sharkie

 

[TownsvilleTigerShark]

Really hope the girls are up up for this and can put together another performance like Sunday against the fillies and not like the week before against the tigers
GO YOU GOOD GIRLS

In a lot of ways it's far better to watch than NRL, similar to NSW Cup. Less bullshit, no 6 agains, no wank bunker interference, nor the ref blowing the pea out of the ****ing whistle.

Real football.

Yeah reminds me of footy in the 80's a bit.

I'm surprised you have time to watch NRL with all the podcasts you listen to on different fertiliser rates for English grass!
