NRL Round 5: Sydney Roosters vs Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, Saturday 10th April 7:35pm @ Sydney Cricket Ground

[MMsharks]

Feel like Mulitalo misread it on Tupou's try too.

yes 100% thats a balls up - mulitalo got caught out. at the time I thought we would snuff that one, then boom!

along with that try for morris on hiroti in first half, we need to stop those. going into this game I was confident our defensive systems would snap these ones but didn't unfortunately.


Not mentioning some other tries for the roosters because will be accused of bashing a certain player, that cannot be mentioned!!!

Long time lurker first post... But let me tell you all a story, to bring back better memories. Something I’d forgotten about, until a mate brought it up tonight...
back in 2014 I was at the Terrey Hills Taven drinking with a mate, walked through the pokie room and saw a lady drop $20 dollars, I picked it up and returned it to her, to my surprise though crusher cleal was her husband who was surprised at my honesty, and was very appreciative. Fast forward to later in the night. I ended up having a few beers with him and his wife, while watching a sharks game. 1 thing that I’d forgotten about but my mate remembered, was that I’d asked him not to steal our up and coming hooker... He was the bulldogs recruitment guy at the time. So me talking up leecha that night, lead him to make a deal to swap for Ennis... who without we probably wouldn’t have won our 2016 premiership.

I don't know why you posted that in this thread or in bold but by I'll allow it for the content. Welcome to posting

both our wings make barely half their tackles, our defensive system still has a lot of work to do.

If there is anything the internet has taught me, it’s to believe anything that anyone with one post and types in bold says.

It’s be nice to play a whole game without an HIA reshuffle. Dunno what the missing piece of the puzzle is for this team, but we’re not there yet. Still too young across the park in some ways. I’m not a Chad basher, but it will be interesting to see who gets dropped when SJ gets back.

Moylan to the bench seems like the most common theory.

Knowing you've been here reading my posts for 5 years without saying anything makes me feel kind of dirty.

Welcome to the team.

all coming out now.. Same mate has seen crusher since and brought this up.. and he didn’t deny he ****ed up!!!
Happy to know all those years of heartache following the sharks, I may have helped in some small way!!

You could see we were running out of stream. Beaten in the middle.

Two man bench and one was Tolman from half time , we were always going to do it tough the last 20 minutes without the ball .

Throw in 2 man bench last week and no man bench the week before. Could use a bye round or at least a long turn around... got Friday next week

Got that impression in the presser. Would we be a better team with SJ and Moylan? Tbh I think yes, but Moylan on the bench gives us options to do that anyway.

It’s a long season. I would be rotating players next week. I know it won’t happen, but the 2021 nrl needs fresh players just as much as it needs the best players.

And there lies the problem with the sack the coach crap
Fitzgibbon could well turn out to be crap and/or still has to learn our squad strengths and weaknesses .
Easy being an assistant coach when your team has all the pedigree cattle .
Try starting from scratch

We don't have many to rotate until we get some troops back.
Could be Nikora back in for Wade next week and Tracey for Dugan, Trindall onto bench.
I'm assuming Fifi aint getting a run for a reason so won't crow for him to get into the team.

Booked tickets for Reds v Brumbies weeks ago. Seems like I was lucky to miss this game.

Wrote in notes, before posting, had to spell check... Seen too many get pulled up on grammar. Only reason for the bold text.

 

[MMsharks]

did trindall get a run???

As 18th man? No
We only had 2 HIAs

You got it right in the end but I’m still sending you for an HIA

Trindall might have a bench spot next week if Dugan misses after two fails in two weeks
