NRL Round 25 2018, Cronulla Sutherland Sharks v Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs, Sunday 2 September 2018 2pm @ ANZ Stadium

[Gards]

Hopefully that's just is doing enough to go into next week not a reflection of the 80 mins we put in finals. Good attacking signs but defense and displine need to step up

 

[vicsharkfan]

I thought for a game that required a miracle either way for us not to finish 4th.. we did ok.. discipline and defence is all about attitude I’m confident we will bring it next week.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Agreed vic, and Dogs have been in form

 

[andrew's_sharks]

Did what we had to. Would have even been happy with a narrow loss as long as we still made the top 4. No injuries and having a full strength squad heading into the finals is all that actually mattered today.

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

Tough game.I though the Dogs played OK.Credit to our boys though...got the win.

The boys are going to need to put in a bloody big effort next week though.

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Few missed goals made the game closer than it appears. 36-20 if all conversions were made. Scrappy, most of our errors come from that last pass thats not on, which is something we've been doing all year

 

[creg]

I think it was a good game to see our strengths, errors and maintained momentum, with no injuries.

Confident going into next week. See what happens. Can’t ****ing wait. Someone start the thread.

So pissed off. Needed 13+ for my multi.

So pissed off. Needed 13+ for my multi.

The golden rule of backing the Sharks is 1-12 no matter how certain we look.

Tragic leaving Holmes out of his 3-2-1 this week

 

[HaroldBishop]

We had nothing to play for. Good effort to get the win.

 

[Sir Chadley]

I thought we did well today. Nothing to play for against a Dogs side in form and nothing to lose. We scored some good tries and while we let a few in I reckon our defence won’t be that loose in the semis.

If Ramien and Loots are back next week, this would be my back 5

Holmes
Feki
Dugan (left)
Ramien (right)
Lee

Sorry but Loots misses out for mine. If Feki can get his **** together with the high ball then I think I’d be ok to have him. Otherwise we’re playing guys out of position.

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

Out of memory.Did we finish 5th last year?

I think we have to go with this!

They were playing for the most important thing - my entertainment

It may have taken years Chad but you finally picked the right backline - no place for loots, watch flanno squeeze him in if fit. I would keep playing capewell (if we still have injuries) in his spot 100% has been carving up and our left side has had so much more pace, flow and punch

Out of memory.Did we finish 5th last year?

yes hence we played 8th place cowboys - horrible memory

 

[Gumby]

1. Holmes
2. Dugan
3. Ramien
4. Loots
5. Feki

Most likely what flanno will go with imo if all are fit

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

Capewell has been good,been real good!

He needs to be in the team somewhere.

If everyone is healthy...my bench would be...

Woods
Bakuya
Seggy
Capewell

 

[Gumby]

Mine too ^

Sharkstragic mate you need to calm the **** down hahaha
