NRL Round 7: Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs. Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Sunday 28 June 4:05pm @ Central Coast Stadium

[Addy]

Can visualise DCE right now in the room with the team and with a huge grin. “Don’t worry. We’ve got this one boys... ha ha ha...We’ve got this one.”

I can visualise DCE at Taronga Zoo overlooking the harbour, majestically eating leaves from the highest branches

[Sparkles]

did you say the same thing last year for the finals? but happy for you to talking yourself into it

I might actually come along on that thinking.

no brookie this time

I'd happily talk myself into some hope before any final against any team, so probably.

But why not? Starts with self belief, right? Ends with slagging off Chad, but starts with belief...

 

[stormshark]

I hope their self belief, results in my disbelief. Time for the noise around this team, to translate into action. 10 Senior leaders need to reveal themselves in unison.

 

[Sparkles]

I don't want to put the mocca on it, but this is our current team injury list (excluding fringe players):
Ronaldo Mulitalo (knee) – Round 9

Whatever happens, it's been a while since it's looked that short!

 

[Patrick]

They beat us twice without turbo last year. Doesn't seem to matter, we don't play well against this mob. We beat them in 08, 12 and 16 so maybe us beating Manly is like Feb 29th or the olympics or something.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Hopefully we turn up to play like we did against them in the finals last year....

 

[bort]

Moylan
Katoa
Dugan
Ramien
Goodwin
Johnson
Townsend
Fifita
Brailey
Woods
Nikora
Graham
Williams

Rudolf
Hamlin-Uele
Talakai
Hunt

Sorensen
Tracey
Kennedy
Ferris

Start Rudolf over Fifita or Williams I reckon but otherwise pretty happy to run this side out.

 

[Tiger Shark]

I think they'll be some forwards swapping positions come kick off.

 

[Thresher]

Brailey named at hooker ... I was sure I saw him playing lock last game

Seriously though, I'm happy with that lineup. We'll smash those Manly forwards.

 

[bort]

With a four forward bench (and two 80 minute edges) a few will be on reduced minutes, I'd be keen to see someone like Wilton given the 17 at some stage in the next few weeks to have a run.
If the most that jersey is gunna play is sub-20 minutes it's worth rotating it around a bit between any forward who is training well enough to stake a claim.

that starting Manly Pack will dominate;

and that young crocker will rip shreds

Their forward pack scares me! Tapau is like that kid in u’12s that is a foot above everyone. I’d **** myself if he ran at me

There is a funny video getting around that shows this exact thing! Having trouble finding it though

HAHAHAHA yes why not

morris said he keeps toby on the bench to have him on the field through the middle part of the game

said he got his rotation wrong in the dragons game and needs him on in the 2-60 minute mark

May as well start him if that's the case, the first two minutes won't make much difference.

I also like Rudolf coming on at that stage (between then 20 & 30), but I don't like starting Fifita and Williams, and also BHU lost some of his sting starting too.

There's enough decent players in our forwards but it is hard to know what the right mix & timings are.
