NRL Finals 2018 - Grand Final qualifier - Melbourne Storm vs Cronulla Sutherland RLFC, Fri 21st September, 2018 @ AAMI Park 7:40pm

Lewis is a cork and he will be right to play!

Gallen sounds like he is a good chance but won't be able to train and it will come down to the wire.

IMO Flanno is probably playing games.

Yeah excellent. We need to be full strenght minus wade to win this one I think - Gal will play he cant not hes our spiritual leader!

 

[Steve Kneen]

We go in as underdogs and if we win that is epic.

Have to agree, if we win it will be one for the ages. However, if we get Sutton which I expect we will the odds are definitely against us, not only from us being a bit busted up & having gas out of the tank, but our win % under Sutton (46.9%) as opposed to Sutton & Melbourne (58.3%) & Cameron Smith being the 'third referee'.

 

[HaroldBishop]

If we get Sutton we should just forfeit.

This thread feels more.....right.

 

[ben]

Classic. I havent started a thread for years but i wanted to hear thoughts on the game. Mods can change it to whatever is needes.

Where does dugan play if hes back?

 

[Mark^Bastard]

I merged the threads

 

[ben]

Thankyou. We would be crazy to drop feki for dugan.

 

[Sharkyle]

If Dugan is fit he needs to be in the team. I reckon we would have to drop Lee.

 

[puma1355]

Lol love to see the responses

 

[Thresher]

Thanks B&B. Fingers crossed on Gal. We need him to niggle Smith if nothing else.

“It was a cork in an awkward spot, where when I would try to takeoff, it was giving me a sharp pain,’’ Lewis said.

Gosh. The last thing you want is a cork in an awkward spot.

I feel like this is the game we see Woods take control in the middle. He's fresh and fully converted to the Sharks mentality now. Predicting he takes a starring role.

I'm not too worried of Gallen doesn't play (though would prefer he was there). Melbourne has fit, fast, strong forwards, but we have blokes that hit you took a way that makes you not want to get up anymore. With Prior, Fifita and Woods I think we've got them covered up front.

You don't think we'll be one BIG body short against their huge pack ?

 

[stormshark]

We got one back spare, the one that plays that can be replaced week after, takes Smith outta the game in the first 10, all structure and organisation in their team gone!

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

We need Gal to play to win this game imo..

 

[creg]

I don’t know. Cam Smith has been training for this moment for 2 years. Gal out might throw him off.

It'll **** the coin toss

Thoughts on bringing in Paulo for this game. Some extra creativity is required imo

 

[vicsharkfan]

Bay 9 and 10 are the away supporters bays for this game. Get your backside trackside..

It depends on who is out and the game plan. I would be OK with Paulo over sorenson
