NRL Round 12 2017 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs, Saturday 27 May @ 7:30pm, SCG Group Stadium

We haven't played this mob at home much over the recent past, real shame both teams will be depleted.

 

[snowman]

2011 on a monday night last time we played them at home, pretty sure matt wright was awful and good that night

we should do them this time

 

[Bundy Shark]

I'm glad they are missing three players, negates our four missing to a point.

It's great having Gal available as well.

 

[Sir Chadley]

It's great having Gal available as well.

Yes, having Gal and Val on board is a good thing for us.

We will miss Maloney's goal kicking but we won't miss his dozen or so missed tackles and penalties per game.

So who does the kicking in his absence? Val and Chad I guess are our only recognised kickers.
I remember him having a shocker last year against Penrith when we were origin depleted and Chad stepped up and nailed them.

Do we just start with Chad in the first place on Saturday night?

 

[gando2230]

Give the goal kicking duties to Gal. he nailed his last kick for the city game.

 

[snowman]

our team still looks quite handy even without the 4 origin players

 

[SharkShocked]

Who comes in?

Taga for Fifita
Capewell for Bird? Or will they push Beale into the centres and play J.R on wing? Capewell onto Bench, Bukuya for Graham?
Nu Brown for Maloney


I'll be interested to see the makeup of the team.

It sucks that we don't play the dogs at home every year.

They travel well and would pack of shark park in a normal round

Yep. Add to that on the few occasions we've played Souths at home recently the games have been in **** time slots, they're fans travel as well.

Im actually surprised that when u look at potential 17s it doesnt look so bad. Hopefully we can get through the series with minimal losses

 

[snowman]

the biggest loss will be fifita and his meters, other than that we should be sweet

hopefully capewell goes left second row like canberra last year, nu/mortimer to 5/8 wont be much of a drop off as maloney is out of form and bird for all his good has 1 try to his name

think we will beat the dogs by 8

[HaroldBishop]

That Dogs' side is garbage, especially the backs.

 

[deano the p]

Very happy with that side, exactly the side I would have picked.
