NRL Round 25 2016 - Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs. Sydney Roosters @ SCG Stadium, Saturday 27 August @ 7:30pm

[HaroldBishop]

Roosters paying $2.60. I'm getting on it.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Roosters paying $2.60. I'm getting on it.

I can't believe they aren't shorter than that. It should really be $1.90 both teams.

 

[Tank]

Could be an interesting side we roll out this week. Val could be doubtful, Maloney could be charged, Is Nu Brown fit atm? Is Feki due to return this week? Gal returning??
Anyway we run into a Roosters side who have found form and we are down a bit. Hope to see us bounce back but cant say Im entirely confident at this stage.

 

[Tank]

Ok. So Maloney should be right to play. That's good news at least. Need Chad to lift he's been awful last few weeks

 

[Sharkyle]

I think they will rest Val and bring back Gal and Feki

We need to be good in this game to get our confidence back

 

[Napolean]

The boys need to remember that if Broncs can down Melbourne (very possible) and we win then we go to Melbourne for a crack at the Minor premiership. Still plenty to play for.

I'll be up in Sydney and at this game, so I'm hoping the boys can turn it on.

I'd give Chad or Jimmy a rest and bring Nu in, and drop Paulo for Capewell-surely Flanno can see that Capewell is a more effective player.

Should Maloney do a Hodgson and wipe the slate clean before finals? Maloney is always a risk for suspension-he can't tackle properly.

I've got my money back last 3 weeks. I've been putting $50 a week on the opposition.

 

[sharks2010]

Who cares, season is over...

I wouldn't except for injury. I think our best team needs to play together as much as possible from here on.

 

[CrankyShark]

Resting Chad or James is a horrible idea. Chad in particular as he needs to find some form. We are still a chance of the minor premiership.

We have to field our best side, anything else is madness.

Yeah we desperately need a win. I'll be getting on the Roosters. I meant to get on the Rabbits forgot. Sorry everyone. I accept full responsibility for the loss.

Will be interesting to see what team runs out for this game. Hopefully Gal is back as we are really going to need his grunt in the middle. Has been mentioned elsewhere but I also wouldn't be against Capewell getting another game and subbing with Lewis. That would mean boogs takes paulos spot in the middle, pushing gal to prop when he comes on. I actually think Bukuya's best games this year have been when he's come on hard in the middle injecting some energy.

14. Bukuya
15. Heighno
16. Capewell
17. JSL*

* i'd have him there simply as I think Paulo only offers what we already have covered by Bukuya and Heighington. Even if he only plays 10-15, just need to get him to wind up and run hard.

 

[CrazyMatt]

Roosters are in good touch at the moment, whereas we're a team playing without any confidence and showing no signs of climbing out of the hole. 26-12 to the Chooks.

 

[Sharkyle]

If we lose the next two games you can expect to see us bundle out of the finals in two games. Just like we needed a loss we desperately need some wins going into the first week of the finals.

If we lose second spot i'll be ****ing dirty

 

[Gards]

Our last chance to find some form and get some confidence from a win pre finals

No way do I see us beating the Storm in Melbourne

All I can say is thank goodness this is being played at home. Would have really liked some more daytime games, it suits our current style alot better on a dry surface

We haven't lost a day game all year. All our losses/draws have been at night.

NRL ****s us over with Monday night games... turds

I think it's more on the broadcasters but yea the NRL made it's deals with them to dictate alot of the draw and play so many games at night for TV audiences

In fairness though there are only 3 genuine day games per round but yea they could have been spread around the teams a bit better.
The GF is pretty much a night game now so spose we better get used to it

Yep true.

 

[vicsharkfan]

Honest question, I wonder as a percentage how much we train at night?
Train in the conditions you play in.
