NRL Round 2 2017, Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs Canberra Raiders @ GIO Stadium Saturday 11/3 7:30pm

we can keep the game simple and through the middle then we will be fine, we cant let canberra do what brisbane did and play the game through the backs otherwise we will get drilled

our forward pack should stand up and match, probably beat theirs, but their backs will do the damage, need to limit the opportunities and rush up to stop the spread of the ball

 

[HaroldBishop]

Don't bother playing him. We are gonna get bent over either way.

Save him another week for that beautiful sunday arvo game we got coming up against the saints. Unleash him then

Unfortunately not mate, Sunday night.

Happy to let rapana score a hat trick but cronulla still win for the fantasy points

Not sure why everyone is being so negative. We win that Brisbane game with a few less dropped balls and dumb penalties. Early season rust. I'm sure both teams have a bit of it.

No reason why you can't kick things off in the arvo mate. Get into it.

New hooker, new fullback, away from home against a team who very nearly beat the Cowboys at home last week.

I agree. Wait till the hammy is right, and then wait s bit longer. They can just keep coming back if you rush them.

 

[dosit]

Well we are going to get smashed this week.

Well we are going to get smashed this week.

The Raiders have been psychologically destroyed by us. They are emotional wrecks.

Doubt they'll even show up.

Our game was lost in the backs. Lee and feki need to hold their wing. All 17 need to respect possesion more.

 

[andrew's_sharks]

No Holmes is huge. If we didn't give away so many penalties last week and respect the pill a bit more we would have won and won comfortably. hold the pill early in the count and reduce the penalty count and we are in with a solid chance.

Yep.

Should have beaten Brisbane. We were the better side for much of that game but poor discipline for a few periods cost us dearly. No need to panic. I remember just how awful we were in round 3 last year against Manly. I don't expect polished performances in the first Month.

Perfect - I'll be there for that.

6 months later...... while other teams are young and ready to go ... 6 months for a 23 yr old gives them time to get stronger...6 months for a 34 yr old gives them time to think how wonderful another 6 months would be ..... end of day Flanno needs to start planning for the future - T.Williams and K.Capewell should be in the 17....

The best 17 should be in the team. injuries will happen at some point and capewell and some of the others will get a run and a chance to show they are better.

Yep.

Our only old players are Gallen, Lewis and Heino.

Gallen and Lewis are still elite.

age is only a number whilst you are playing well

i agree with you, heino shouldnt be in the team, capewell should

if brailey was trusted to be an 80 minute player and not a drone then i would happily have trex in the team
