NRL Round 4, 2018 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs. Melbourne Storm Friday 30th March 8.05pm @ Southern Cross Group Stadium

[Sir Chadley]

Just thought I’d get this thread started as it’s a big one for us. A loss will mean 1 from 4 which is not a great start.

In previous years with our backs to the wall, we’ve won these types of games.

Will Moylan be back?

Would you keep the Hodko/Chad combination?

And can we win?

Away, it would be very tough but at home I give us a chance.

 

[Nulla Boy]

Funnily enough I'm always confident against the storm.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

This feels like the real derby these days.

 

[sharkyboy]

Yeah the game v Melbourne and cows is bigger than dragons imo these days

Braden Uele — Ribs — Round 4

Luke Lewis — Foot — Round 4-6

Sione Katoa — Jaw — Round 11

Jayson Bukuya — Groin — Round 4

Josh Dugan — groin — Round 4

So being Rd 4 we'll only be missing Katoa potentially.

 

[Gards]

Storm are looking vulnerable this year - bring that quality anti-Storm gameplan we have in the past and no reason we can't earn a narrow victory but these injuries are a concern. Depth can only take us so far

Uele played for Newtown on Sunday.

i know, everyone being concerned about what fox has clearly can't read between the lines.

WE WILL PROBABLY ONLY HAVE KATOA OUT

 

[Gards]

When did fox post that report - did Uele cop an injury playing for jets?

Maybe Lewis too - plus I'd never bank on having a guy back 7 days after a hammy so Hodko will be in there to cover Moylan for sure. Hammies can be niggly.

Not that I am aware of. He was originally anticipated to return round 4 but came back round 3 obviously. He played 60 minutes and finished the game. The report from Fox was probably Sunday morning before anyone knew he was playing.

 

[Thresher]

With Boogs having to take an early exit in the last game I wouldn't think his groin injury would be fixed by next round either.

 

[Gards]

Groin injuries are bad news, there isn't heaps you can do for them rehab/pyhsio wise other than rest for a long period of time which footy players rarely get so they tend to niggle for some time. Hopefully just some mild strains and nothing more than that

 

[andrew's_sharks]

Lewis was a possibility this round, so will most likely be ok
Bukuya went off with a tight groin. so will probably be fine

Moylan is a wait and see. he is scheduled to be back this weekend though

Lewis i'd be confident will be back.
Moylan i'd be very surprised if back.
Bukuya i'd be confident will be back.
Dugan in the post game interview said he would be right.

In saying all of that - I've no reason to think we can beat the Storm.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Of course we can beat them.

 

[slide rule]

Hopefully with the new refereeing standards they won't be allowed the blatant offsides that they are accustomed to. I trust that our home crowd will let the refs know of any infringements.

I swear boogs was on the ground at final siren...maybe i was seeing things
