Match 2025 NRL Round 7 - Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks vs Newcastle Knights @ McDonald Jones Stadium. Sunday 20 April, 2025, 4:05pm

[Sir Chadley]

Just went online to see if I could get tickets for this game. Unless you want to sit in the general admission sections behind each goalpost or sit in the nosebleed seats on the corner it’s slim pickings. Almost $250 for my son and I if you want a seat from the 30m to 50m lines first section up.

Think I’ll save myself the 5 hour round trip and watch it on Kayo.

 

[HaroldBishop]

I'll warn you you can't get a good feed in Newcastle. Absolute **** hole.

I like Newy

 

[Gards]

Think theres still a few around.

Theres one in Salamander Bay shopping centre not far from me. Which is great on hangover days.

East Maitland and Wallsend i think still have them. Dunno if Warners Bay one is still going

I use to hit up the Salamander Bay one on the regular when I was on the road doing my sales gig then try not to **** my pants in the car on the way back to Sydney

 

[Western Sharkie]

AFB is in some doubt for this game, if he doesn't play, we have to have four forwards on the bench. Can't have Atko there if no AFB.

OK will need to step up

 

[Western Sharkie]

If AFB is out, we're in trouble. Nobody else is really stepping up at this stage.

Might be a good thing
Others might step up, cos they are needing to to fill the void

Some people just arent toilet trained…..

 

[Tank]

Newy is a great place. Heaps of great restaurants and yep still few Henny Penny's around including Adamstown near me.With that said people on here know my hatred of the knights. They cant possibly be as bad again this week. We need to be careful with this game. No AFB will hurt. Stop KP and Best we win
Anyone coming upshould pop into either the Premier Hotel in Broadmeadow or General Roberts in New Lambton for few bevvies. Sunnyside Tavern in Georgetown is also option for few cold ones.All walking distance to ground.

 

[Bundy Shark]

I hope I’m wrong but I think we are gunna get a reminder how our pack, go forward was before AFB arrived.

Honestly I think our go forward will be fine as long as we use our bench well. Hopefully Talaki gets some more game time. Also Hazleton was very good last week and Toby has been better this year.

 

[Capital_Shark]

Well if AFB doesn’t play I would say you are not wrong and that yes, it will resemble Cronulla without AFB, because it will be Cronulla without AFB.

But we still beat Newcastle without him last year and I don’t think it has been their forwards that have troubled us.

 

[Tiger Shark]

if AFB is in doubt I'd be naming him till the last hour and make the change. Keep the Knights guessing.

so what will happen is that they'll announce the team today with no AFB.

 

[djhabib]

If we lose to a team with Phoenix Crossland in the halves we may as well shut it down this season

They have enough problems guessing what their team will be!

With the amount of travel we're having to do at the moment they might prefer getting it done early and then focus on recovery and match prep

I would have thought Sat too. Guess doing a mini camp up there.

Hope not. He is currently our duck tape.

Was AFB trailing on his mobility scooter?

We’ve got a three week period starting this weekend coming up of verrrry winable games. Tigers at Leichardt and Parra on Magic Round to follow. Starting this weekend we really need to start rebuilding that momentum to lead into our rematch with Manly at Brookie on the 11th May, then we’re home to the Storm after that. Use these three games to get our confidence back in attack, keep fine tuning our defence (which showed a lot of improvement last week) and bank these crucial points before the tough period coming up mid season.

If we lose any of these games I'm now holding you personally responsible
