NRL Round 22 Cronulla Sharks vs Canberra Raiders, Saturday 6th August 2016, 5:30pm @ Shark Park.

[Bay53]

Hey Cronulla Boys and Girls,

We are some Raiders fans who are coming up for the match. Unfortunately your stadium in notoriously hard to get grandstand tickets to especially as you are going so well. We have some GA tickets but if anyone knows of any spare grandstand seats that are not going to be used, say you have some of your group that can't make it, we would be more than happy to give you some money (within reason) for your seats.

Really excited about this game. It has been so long since our club has been in this position and playing the big games. When you consider that two years ago we played about this time of year for the wooden spoon, it is fantastic where we both are now.

Anyway, if someone has something, send me a PM other wise enjoy the game.

I don't think Maloney will get off. The footage clearly shows him twisting and that's what he's accused of so I reckon he'll do the time unfortunately.

That said I think we'll win by 18. This raiders side is a bit of a myth IMO. They're going well, but they're not in our league. But they're top four and we may well meet them in September so our boys will have a point to prove.

Look for Chad to dominate with the absence of Maloney, and Bird and Lewis will step up too.

 

[CHOGM]

No offence Bay53��

Will be interesting to see what kind of energy level we play at considering it's a 5 day turn around and the boys only just got back to sydney this afternoon. Was a very physical game last night plus it went for 90 minutes.

I'm still confident of getting the win.

Hope so mate. Would be inexcusable to lose to Canberra at home.

Nice. Quick healer

Magic sponge.

Happy for Nu Brown to come in for this and the next couple.

When Jimmy busts his ankle playing soccer during our week off before the big prelim against Melbourne I wanna be sure that Blake Green is ready to go and not completely lacking match practice.


Woops I mean Nu...

Wasn't it a knee injury?

If we are fair dinkum about finishing first we have to win this game. Its definitely going to be the toughest of the remaining games until the Storm in round 26. If we win on the weekend we could just make it.

I think the raiders are a good side but lack discipline, they will be ready to play but hopefully we can frustrate them. They can score points so we need top back our defence. If we defend like we did against them earlier in the year we will win.

Could say the same about us at times.

True, they have been good of late but they have nothing to play for where as the raiders are fighting for a top 4 spot. Raiders are also playing with confidence and have the best attack in the league, could be a handful

All the time :glasses-cool:

yep....but sometimes having nothing to play for can bring out the best and on paper the rooters still have a better side than Canberra imo......both games will be tough

Hm at least they are both at shark park lol, I would love to stay undefeated at home this year

Being without Maloney and with the short turn around this will be a good scalp. Not super confident for this game though.

I have this ambush feeling. Not in a good way

Hopefully they realise that playing soft like they did for 70 minutes against the Tits just won't cut it.

Seeing Fifs run sideways and pass it made me puke. He wasn't alone. I was at the game with my 14 and 18 yr old boys (who know how much I hate Gal) and they said that Gal had a good match.....I had to agree he showed a bit of go that was missing from most.

Its better getting that game out of our system so we don't get smashed like we did in the Cows semi last year.

I thought Feefs made a huge improvement to our go forward when he came on.

His second spell was much better.

NRL.com tips the Raiders by four. A bit conservative for mine. Should be Raiders by twenty-four.
