Round 14 2013 NRL: Cronulla Sutherland Sharks V Parramatta Eels, Sharks Stadium, Saturday 15th June, 7:30pm

It's time for Gordon to make way for Gardner at fullback. Personally I would play Gordon in Pomeroy's spot but wouldn't be fussed if he played on the wing and someone else took the centre spot.

The Sharks will bounce back. We just won 4 straight and beating the Bunnies at home took a lot out of us. Mentally it was always going to be difficult to beat Melbourne in Melbourne.

If we can't beat Parra at home at full strength, assuming Gal plays, we have bigger issues than just the result of last weeks game.

Heads up you blokes.

 

[snowman]

im confident we will beat parra, but it will be a shallow victory, they are terrible

I have a feeling ross wont be there next week, 28 mins against the rabbits and 13 against the storm. Id love to see 1 gardner 2 feki/stapo (not fussed) 3 wright 4 gordon 5 ryan 6 peachey 7 carney 8 fifita 9 morris 10 gal 11 heighno 12 graham 13 lewis 14 robson 15 tupou 16 bukuya 17 tagatese. Gibbs to play this week and next week in nsw cup and back after the bye. Chances of that happening, 0

We had the bye after Souths. How is that an excuse?

 

[djhabib]

Yeah what's the go with Ross?

 

[Opeth]

gordon to the centres would solve a lot of issues IMO.

 

[snowman]

was he hurt? Only played 14 minutes

 

[hamsy44]

Ross was injured going in was only past fit that morning according to the pre game show. So maybe that had something to do with the limited game time.

Last week was the one bad game we've had this year. We will win this comfortably and make a good charge for a top 6 finals spot.

on the way back we saw a sign for a logic centre. They are building the flanno wing as we speak.

Haha, top shelf Mr Habib. Maybe a logic enema before every Tuesday could help team selection. Robson can insert it.

Ross wasn't meant to play. His wife said Ben wasn't playing.... NEK Minute... Plays. So I'm assuming he was injured & they had him play? Or he chose to play, no idea. But the minutes he had speaks for it's self.

 

[Lumpy]

We had the bye after Souths. How is that an excuse?

We were flat after the week off. We just were not ready to fire up again against Melbourne.

The week off hurt us. We looked like we were still playing the bye. If we played Parra last week and Melbourne this week, would be a very different story.

Then it was a management failure again. Not that it would of changed the result but 30 minutes of Peachey would have been better than 14 of a sick Ross. Again, masterstroke Flano.

 

[hamsy44]

You were a bit quiet for about 5 weeks there Tef. One loss you are back in fine form.

Not really mate. I was happy with the wins but I still don't think we have played well this year. The Melbourne game was coming. We are still a very one dimensional team that can stifle teams out of their game plan and win low scoring contests but that will only go so far. Whilst I do enjoy it when we win I still cringe at the style of football we play, win or lose.

Just stiring a little. Its not the 90's thats for sure but we did put on some scores in three of those games. I don't think Flanno has got it 100% right but I don't think he is as bad as he is made out.

For me it stands out more when we play the elite teams. When we throw to the backline we never have enough decoys, or are deep enough and never create an extra man and it just grinds to a halt with our wingers having the ball half a metre in and with no where to go. Melbourne scored at will when they went wide and they immediately fall into their structures with everyone knowing their role. These things are coachable.

The South's game may have been different on a dry track and with an even penalty count because they either scored or were threatening every time they were in our twenty or when they shifted the ball. Flano as a coach is very limited on many levels.
