NRL Round 11: Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs St George Illawarra Dragons Saturday 25th July @ Netstrata Jubilee Stadium

[egg]

Flanno playing a bigger part , I think .
Yep , they are dangerous for us .
MUST turn up and again , with no mistakes the first 20 minutes.

 

[Gards]

Chill boys and girls we will get this done

Sharks 24-16

Ben Ross was just saying on the Weekly Bite that Teig will be slotting straight into Nikora's position.

Said he runs straight lines and doesn't miss tackles.

Might have to learn quickly to step if Frizell lines him up

True.

Ross was just saying he thought Teig will benefit running lines off Johnson's passes like Nikora does.

 

[bort]

Probably keeps the team more similar if Teig comes straight it, and keeps the Rhino on the bench to bring some destruction a bit later in the game

 

[Tiger Shark]

Teig can run some good lines. I'm very keen to see how he goes but also mindful he's only 20 and it's his first game but hopefully the first of many, and if he can get half a dozen games or so under his belt this year we might see a Nikora, Graham, Wilton back row next year.

Gives us a bench of Rudolf, Fifita, Talakai and Williams/Sorenson/Hunt with Vasquez/Pele/Milne and others for depth.

Interesting to see if he can play the full 80, by all reports he's pretty fit.

That would be a handy bench

 

[Sparkles]

So Teig will play 80 minutes?

 

[bort]

At this stage I'd probably be surprised if Milne got another year, hasn't even come close to getting a look in yet.
Big dude but, may show enough in training to scrape another contract.

Ben Ross mentioned in the weekly bite or whatever it is called someone else was with Morris talking contract while they were filming. Hopefully sorting Rudolf or something for Katoa

Not as confident for this game. I mean we couldn’t even beat these pricks when they were ****, why would we beat them when they’re half competent?

We went in that game with WRONG attitude .
Thinking easy win and got ambushed.
Not this time , surely we AIM UP from the opening whistle .

 

[Sparkles]

We're also less **** now too, so that's helpful

We had 50 put on us a fortnight ago. Yes our attack is great but we went into the last game confident after beating NQL. Hope we're not making the same mistake after beating the Warriors, Titans, Manly sans Turbo and Bulldogs (just) since.

For what it's worth I think we'll win this one. Will be an interesting test for us either way.

Mate we haven’t dropped that ****ing attitude for four ****ing years. What makes you think they will now???

[BurgoShark]

So Teig will play 80 minutes?

I think he means "eventually". You'd think this week he either comes on at right edge after 20-30 minutes and plays out the game, or just gets 20-25 minutes in the middle to get a taste of NRL footy.

 

[Gumby]

Dugan is out for tomorrows match. Hamstring tightness. ****ing spewing

Dugan is out for tomorrows match. Hamstring tightness. ****ing spewing

That's a massive dent to the team tbh. A lot less confident now. Love Goodwin but he's too slow to play centre.

 

[Thresher]

Dugan is out for tomorrows match. Hamstring tightness. ****ing spewing

That is terrible news.

But I just got on Saints at $2, so we will definitely win now.
