Match 2026 NRL Round 1 - Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs Gold Coast Titans 5:30pm, Saturday 7 March @ Ocean Protect Stadium

[Proud Shark]

How long till Teig can be back from his surgery? What about Mulitalo & McCInnes?

I could be wrong, but my understanding is currently:
- Teig early rounds
- McInnes 8-10
- Ronaldo 14-20

- Ronaldo 14-20

We'll be undefeated after 20 rounds, no need to rush him back.

 

[Blix]

Maybe they don't mind if he rots away on the extended bench for the season as he's off to the Bears after it.

1000000% agree

1st place, 40 points, +680

Katoa named, no Teig.

Hazelton starting prop.

Bench is Sifa, Toby, OK, Uele, Puru, Vea'ila.

@Gumby, you probably don't remember mate, but I called it 2 years ago.
Good thing you didn't bet like I was trying to goad you into.

 

[MMsharks]

here's hoping we get up for the win Rd1

Glad you said this mate, I wasn't sure what we were hoping for

Keep him fresh for the GF.

Sorry man what was this about? Hazleton becoming a starting prop?

It is such a good side even with Wilton, Ronnie and McInnes out.

Wilton and McInnes are easily covered. Ronnie is a big loss imo.

 

[Gibs]

We need Toby to fill the energy/ niggle void

Would rather Hiroti in for Stonestreet tbph fam

Ronnie is a big loss, but I still think he is covered well. The other two are replaced easier.

Fair enough, I disagree.

He's injured mate.

 

[Gumby]

Spewing I couldn't fly up for this one.

You can do it mate. Just flap those arms a bit harder.

Soft, F him off to Titans immediately
