Qualifying Final 2022 - Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks vs North Queensland Cowboys, Saturday 10 September 7:50pm @ Pointsbet Stadium

Tried for 30mins to get tickets. Only 1 single tickets in all categories left.

More seating is getting realised throughout the morning so there’s heaps more now. Why didn’t they just ****ing release all of the seating for members presale at the start just ****s those that had to get GA cause there was nothing left only for heaps more seating being released 30mins later…

There's tickets available in the MP stand again..

Jesus, really? Sounds like a nightmare. I can only try for tickets at 1pm being a web member... probably have the ET stand available then

Of course kennedy is a better ball player, but he's coming back from a serious injury, will he have match fitness to keep up and is his head going to be in the game, may look like it in training but finals is a different beast

I find us very boring with Miller out the back… he doesn’t involve himself in the attack unless it’s catching a kick.

Also, all a team has to do is kick it away from him and he’s nullified.. I find Dykes more suitable for our team then Miller tbh

Yep it happened to us… ****ing crazy. Probably plenty of seating available at 1pm lol

Just listened to the presser from yesterday and it sounds like Toby and Dale are all but locked in. If that is the case, what do we do with our middle rotation? Toby has started all year, but the recent form of Hunt and BHU have us really dominating the middle early. I'd be tempted to start with Hunt, BHU and Finucane and have Toby, Cam, Teig and Fifita/Utility on the bench.

I think if Tracey is in for Talakai then go with Fifita. You can always put Teig in centres if you need to use Tracey elsewhere.

Actually I would probably go Fifita anyway.

Hope it’s just a case of cruising through these last few weeks knowing we are top 4 bound. Wanting just to get through games with no injuries or suspensions.

Time to ramp it up this week and go all out for that week off. Be interesting who comes back into the side. How is Will, Toby, Dale and Big Sexy?

I can be a bit of an optimist sometimes, but I really do think this is a big part of it. The team knows they have been finals and Top 4 bound for a while now. Key is to hit the finals as fresh as possible but also getting the W's. And they did that.

There's some serious experience in this team and coaching squad to know what is need to win finals games.

Got a feeling we're going to take it up a notch.

All this is ridiculous, very poor form from the NRL, Ticketek and whoever. Not much use if MP tickets are available now, I am stuck with mine and can't change them. Not sure if I'll actually go now. People I bought tickets for are still happy to go, they're happy to sit anywhere but not me, I am used to ET luxury. I'm not going back to GA, I can't, I won't!! It's an absolute shambles.

Yeah and just remember how our form was going into the 2016 finals series…. We lost 4 in a row and not against the best teams in the comp….

Finals is a whole new ballgame. Look at that little mini finals series we had earlier in the year. Dominated the storm and cows then almost pulled off a win against the panthers. If we come with that attitude and play like we did in those games we will be scarily good.

The boys would have had one eye on the finals for the last 6 weeks. Fitzy even told them in the sheds at half time “stop looking at next week”

It’s a ****ing shambles - ticketed members should get choice of all the seats right from 10am not getting drip fed ****ing seats every 10mins …. Non members may end up getting better seats then ticketed members

I have a feeling that the team did what they had to do in order to get a win with minimum effort these past few weeks.

If I am right, then they will be ready to go next week.

I just hope it's not like the Roosters game when he returned from suspension after only two weeks off. His ball playing and execution was off, didn't look confident, and his head wasn't in the game.

Toby hasn't played in a month, can't see him starting... although having said that Dale has missed the last 2 and I can't see him not starting.

We’d want our best forward pack starting to try and contain taumalolo

 

[Mozcat]

Just refreshed the ticket window, ET stand is now showing as available, when it wasn't 5 minutes ago.

Just single tickets... though maybe that's changed again

 

[Tatus]

That's bullshit

They can afford the luxury. What’s their capacity compared to ours.

Are we really whining about ticket pricing giving the current situation at the sharks?

I'm not whining about ticket prices mate, I fully expected to pay more. It is just the **** ticketing system I am ropeable about. I did the right thing, used my code, went on at 10am to buy tickets and got given **** ones in front of the hill when I didn't select them. Now I'm finding out people are getting seats in the ET Upper after the 1pm deadline. Cannot see how that is a fair and proper process.

Would still start Hunt if Toby's fit
