Match 2025 NRL Round 15 - Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks vs St George-Illawarra Dragons. 7:50pm, Thursday 12 June 2025 @ Sharks Stadium

Could be but I personally don't think so. He's not keeping out anyone with any degree of proven competence. He is keeping out 'guy we'd like to see who misses half a dozen tackles a game in reserve grade'.
Get forward stocks back and go back to 4 forwards like we had last season and Eels game. Or keep him on bench over Kaufusi if he lacks either the form or fitness to make a better contribution.

I agree with this. It would still be an easy change to make though to give the squad a bit of a shake-up, bring in a bit of new enthusiasm, and see how a longer-term prospect would go in the NRL (noting that Hohepa has played a couple of NRL games).

 

[Proud Shark]

I reckon we'll see Rudolf in, Atkinson out.

Im keen for it, just don’t think it’s a sure fire big (or medium) difference maker. But happy to see it tried

Thats what I was thinking when I saw Rudolf back on the extended bench.

 

[stormshark]

I reckon its Uele out, Rudolph in

 

[HaroldBishop]

I reckon its Uele out, Rudolph in

Unless injured there is zero chance of that, he's looking good to me.

 

[SF]

Wouldn’t mind seeing Sifa start at centre, Hiroti on the bench instead of Atko, then Rudolf or Tuku in

 

[Sir Chadley]

Yep. The only hope we have is Atko out, and Toby in.

I am so trying to be positive about this one but after our last two outings it's hard. I didn't make the Warriors game thank goodness but I'll be there on Thursday night.

The Dragons team isn't great and one we should be beating but we're out of form, it's a derby and Flanno will pound these shits to play well.

 

[Six Again]

Kaufusi starting FMD. May as well keep playing ****, no consequences.

Have you had a look at the Dragons front row ?

Bit different to the Warriors

He's been **** for more than a week

 

[Wilson]

Pathetic

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

Same team with Ronnie back on the wing.

 

[AdShark]

I’m disappointed but not surprised

I like this..

 

[Vichyssoise]

I think if Rudolph comes in it's either at the expense of JC or Kaufusi.

 

[Tiger Shark]

I reckon we'll see Rudolf in, Atkinson out.

Good chance but two things make me think we won’t

1) Hiroti looked busted last week. So Atko could be cover

2) wait never mind Jets have a Bye and he’s slightly too old for Flegg

So one thing makes me think they might not

 

[Shark74]

Bad news guys milestone game Briton Nikora 150 game we never win milestone games unfortunately

He’s not usually **** though either so maybe they will cancel out

Talakai is way better at centre than Atko though, so that’s an easy fix if Hiroti goes down

 

[Thresher]

Flanno's going to give the fangs a no expenses spared treatment for this game
