NRL Round 9: Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs Penrith Panthers Saturday July 11 3:00pm Netstrata Jubilee Stadium

[MartinShark]

5 runs for 34 metres for Kikau last week...running at Josh Reynolds and Luke Garner.

Traditionally we do well against this lot. Our forwards have found some momentum of late with what looks like a simple plan of run hard stay square and quicker play the balls.Think Panthers whilst obviously a quality side have had a few pretty tough games of late. Feel like we might upset them on Saturday especially back at our spiritual home of Kogorah Oval

He can give fifita the 8 but have him named in the bench. That’s why I say it’s smoke and mirrors

I’m worried about Katoas defence he like to rush up out of the line
Leaving the opposition winger plenty of room. Can’t be leaking easy tries...

I would of thrown Taleki up against Kikau

 

[Thresher]

He's got a long set of ribs to aim for

Hope so, part reason we have done so well is because of fifita off the bench. Surely we wouldnt change that

its like you havent watched the last 2 weeks of footy

Anyone know if the match up with Kikau is on Goodwin’s side? The only outside defender that I had any confidence being able to handle Kikau was Dugan.

nikora handled him with ease last year

Garner was all over him with niggle, destroyed him physically and mentally.

 

[Gumby]

I’m more confident we can beat this mob than any of our past 3 games.

 

[Sparkles]

nikora handled him with ease last year

Nikora's not quite the same player he was last year, being the sole cause of our defensive issues on that right side

 

[CHOGM]

The backline reshuffle makes me nervous. Hope I’m wrong, often am, so that gives me confidence.

The one game a year Moylan earns his money and he is out - SMH

Our last start against the Panthers was the first time they have beaten us in many years but doesn't count for much now Panthers are in good form, we are too but our defense is not as convincing and will probably be the difference in us going down to them

Our bench being quality and the form of Chad & SJ gives me some degree of confidence but we still don't quite have it together as a team just yet and panthers will put us under more pressure and for longer periods than the last 3 teams we have beaten IMO
Could be a crash back to earth for us but I hope not, winning this would be huge for our season

Panthers 26
Sharks 16

Home Ground advantage -1
