NRL Round 15: Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs. Penrith Panthers Friday 21 August 6:00pm @ Panthers Stadium

[puma1355]

I was at the game and 2 things killed us

1 - 6 again - Panthers kept getting 6 again and were up 18-0 before we could blink
2 - left side defence was shot - MacDonald, Goodwin, Chad and Graham were awful

 

[puma1355]

If the games were reversed and we had just played the Panthers and were heading into the Titans fame I could see a rest coming for SJ with the groin issue

Jimbob and I were right next to the tunnel and SJ seemed pretty positive coming off and was moving pretty well post game

If Johnson doesn't do the goal kicking then we know his not 100% fit

I hope that Liam Martin gets smacked. Something about that guy that grinds my gears.

Ah, forgot about the old switcheroo. thanks

From todays training photos SJ appears to be running well, Fifi also took part in full team training which suggests decent chance he will be available next week (as currently expected).
Can't see Dugan in any photos, but doesn't mean he isn't there. Moylan is bandaged up, one thigh and other calf both strapped, given he is training hopefully just precautionary for spots he has had issues.

Dunno, more likely they were just feeling the effects of the previous game.

combination of both

once the game was won (30-12) our contact went out, our defence was poor, our attack was lack luster

we survived and prevented injury to play penrith

Yeah seems like a pretty fair assessment. You know what I am liking about this team is how quickly we can ramp things up when needed. Like we were going okay until in the second half before proctor went off but then when he did it was like a switch flicked and we just ripped in (granted we have more room to play with). Same with the broncos game, we got a sniff and really ramped up that last 10. Titans game earlier in the year we went to another level in the second half.

Challenge for us is being able to do that consistently and limit the amount of dead patches we have in the game. Maybe these peaks seem to correlate with the bench rotations.

Im surprised HB didn’t come for you because you said you’re hopeful we lift for this

 

[Sparkles]

The coach and players said that repeatedly, so reckon you're spot on

 

[Sparkles]

Our defence should look a lot better this time around. I could see us taking this 32-26 or thereabouts. If we can score the points...

SJ's going to get a lot of attention. It all hinges on Mozza... His third straight game, against his old club... this is where we have to see his value

I hope we win.
