NRL Qualifying Final 2016 - Canberra Raiders v Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks @ GIO Stadium, Saturday 10th September 4:00PM

we need to play like melb and cberra...our forwards need to run it forc4 tackles and then we razzle...issue is we dont have big forwards to make the yards....this is where stuart has succeeded..he went abd bought big forwards to match team like storm and cowboys

4pm? ****in lol

5:50 kick off but ok derrick

Should be a cracking game

Whilst we got beaten last week I think we made enough breaks to win a few games. Canberra wont like sides sticking it back to them. Need to focus on line speed (which is something we lack) and few offloads around the ruck. Yes there right edge is in rare form but its a final and we need to control the middle and get kicking game spot on. Im prepared to say we will win this.

I would always prefer us to play Canberra over the storm.

So this week I am hoping for a a Storm win and a sharks win. That way Canberra can play the storm and beat them for a spot in the big dance. I know Canberra is playing awesome footy, I do think we can beat them though. We will have to defend the ruck well. Do that and straighten our attack a bit and I think we can win.

Two things we need to fix. Missed tackles and errors.

If you would be so kind to read page one, Sportsbet were the first to give a kick off time of 4PM hence the thread title, however Sportsbet turned out to be wrong.

nrl are spastics every form of media has a different kick off time....NRL.com says 5.35

And it won't kick off at 5:35pm anyway. Hard to think of a more unprofessional major sporting administration than this mob.

 

[Sharkyle]

anyone else trying to get tickets off the **** ticketek website?

 

[sharks2010]

I dare say it won't kick off till the afl has finished which would explain the 550 kick off

The AAN only gets sent to fans who can make up their mind on which team they support

Will need to stop BJ's offload big time.

He creates so much second phase play coming out of their own half.

Our line speed and contact need to lift.

 

[CHOGM]

So by my estimation the next month could go like this:
Lose to Canberra
Beat the Panthers or the dogs.
Lose to Melbourne.

Or if we beat Melbourne and end up in a gf against Canberra and win it, we could end up playing 5 weeks of football that looks like this:
Lose to Melbourne
Lose to Canberra
Beat Panthers or dogs
Beat Melbourne
Beat Canberra
Premiership. Pretty bizarre.

So we need to work that against him. Play the kind of defence we've played before where someone from the attacking line runs behind the ruck during the tackle to block or intercept the offload.
