First Qualifying Final, 2012 NRL: Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks v Canberra Raiders @ Canberra Stadium, Sunday 9th September @ 4:00pm

yeah Wade needs to play he was one of our most important players before he got injured.

 

[Tatus]

If Graham and Friz replace Bukuya and Toops I reckon that's a top side.

Yeah the way Friz has been playing of late I wouldn't leave him out either. Dragons have Deffinitly scored themself a handy little player. He is only gonna get bigger and better too. Little man mountain is what he is.

I think we have a pretty good record against Canberra at canberra stadium (cant remember the stats) so i reckon we are a chance..a real chance..we just got to have some faith and get good numbers turning up. Those yogi turds in canberra are a bunch of lazy government workers anyway they wont even turn up to their home match with a bit of luck!

I'm pretty sure we have won 6 of the last 8 at Canberra.

I really hope Wade starts on the park, toops is not a starter.

Can't flanno just man up and pick his starting side for once! There should be 18 players on the sheet, and the 18th should be luetele to cover Pom of he gets done. What is going to change on form between now and then. Makes the guy look wishy washy.

It's probably to keep the opposition guessing more than anything. He'd probably be better off naming 101 backs though, if that's his aim.

I can't help but notice how the best teams don't seem to fox when it comes to team sheets. I think it's a bad habit he picked up from Ricky.

 

[dylan the villian]

name the raiders backs, that'll stump em... haha

They probably don't have as much to hide. :yawn:

hahahaha, i always wondered what would happen if a team like parra named melbournes team in the last round just to **** with the nrl

 

[CHOGM]

We could name fergo 18th man, just to get up the sheets nose. God that guys annoying. Who'll be marking him?

 

[MD9]

Two painfully inconsistent sides, no idea who will turn up ready to go this weekend.

 

[CHOGM]

Raiders haven't been inconsistent lately...

 

[MD9]

Throughout the year, both have been.

Brian Smith invented this years ago. And if Pommers is out have to bring in another one?

the Raiders make me nervous. not only did they flog us last time, i just don't get them; you never really know which Raiders is gunna turn up. they can obviously lay on some points but they're also just as likely to play like chumps. whichever Raiders turn up, WE had wanna ****ing turn up for once.

Exactly. Their performance against us last time came out of nowhere. I was at that game too, felt like a bad dream.

 

[sharks69]

hope besty has a few runs from dummy half the lad is near hodges like ,love his dummy half work

 

[Cesare6t9]

Ferglegrub and Robinson need to be contained. Hopefully Dugan tries too hard and limits their ball.

 

[josh11223344]

Easy win fellas. Jump on the 13+

Completely agree.

Selection is basically a no brainer this week. Ricky in for pom, and a bench of morris, fifita, wade and bukuya/friz.

I don't think we'd overlook bukuya but friz seems to have jumped ahead of him in the pecking order recently, by playing more minutes. Deservedly so.
