Round 11 2013 NRL: Cronulla Sutherland Sharks V South Sydney Rabbits, Sharks Stadium, Monday 27th May, 7pm

[deano the p]

He is def a spot player for apposing teams. Grab tackler. Not exactly Tim Smith in defence but it is his major weakness. Makes up for it with ball in hand but will cost him an origin jumper.

Maloney is a horrible defender, I'd take Carney in defence any day over Maloney.

 

[sharks2010]

Robson is generally a good defender for a half. He only ever misses the tackles that count.

whens your next trip down mate?

 

[sharkyboy]

Are you kidding?

He's one of the better halves defenders in the comp. He's way better than carney.

 

[josh11223344]

Maloney has been criticised over his career for poor defense. I haven't taken much notice this year but surely it couldn't of improved that much from last season?

 

[snowman]

maloney is an attrocious defender

 

[SharkLabelSociety]

I remember Warrior fans constantly bitching about Maloney being a turnstile.

Todd isn't the greatest tackler, but he makes a fair effort. If he gets support from the big guys he isn't a liability.

 

[hamsy44]

Maloney has missed 33 tackles this year Carney has missed 21.

Maloney has attempted 214 tackles so he misses one a set in effect or 15% of his tackles.

Carney has attempted 126 tackles so he misses again one a set or 16% of his tackles.

So both are as **** as each other.

that's it! Robbo for origin

This is what I dont understand about NBN and NRL... Cronulla and the Rabbits are 2 top 8 teams in very good form and they decide to put us on the monday night and look at the Tigers, coming last and in abysmal form but get preference on FTA friday nights... PFFT

You do realise the draw and TV games were done before the season started?

 

[hitman124]

IF we can manage to win, it will be one of the biggest wins in my time of following the club, it's a huge game.

 

[sharkboy18]

Yeah but the Tiggers have played friday night like almost every week, Broncos get like every friday night, im getting fully jack of FTA rights(friday night games)

 

[SJTB]

Imagine 4 in a row and then the bye, can be done.

 

[HaroldBishop]

I don't know why, but I have a good feeling about this game. I don't mind Souths coming off an easy, low intensity game. There's nothing they can take out of that game, Wests were that bad. Hopefully they come into our game a little over-confident.

I thought knocking off the storm last year was pretty special, they were basically in the same boat as the bunnies are now

Brisbane were always going to get their special Friday night treatment, sadly

its because we have a crap fan base, we are boring, and we dont rate well... why would we get friday night coverage?

Agree. If I wasn't a Cronulla fan there would be many other teams I'd rather watch.

 

[sharkboy18]

Sorry but Crap fan base?? Please tell me you are being sarcastic haha, the Cronulla fans at Shark Park are some of the most enthused people I hear while watching games

 

[SharkShocked]

Sharkboy18 I must ask, how many away games have you been to?

It's a pretty well known fact that we have a 'quiet' fan base. It has improved this year and the CSSC have a large effect, but across to the ground for a long time we haven't been a very vocal crowd.

Go for a trek out to Parra and Penruff as a decent example. Even the filthy stains supporters are a lot louder than us.

It was even alluded to many times during the Ricky Stuart era about the fact that we need to be louder and put more pressure on referees.
