Round 18, 2011: Cronulla Sharks vs Canberra Raiders Saturday July 9 5:30pm Toyota Stadium

[CROWIE]

Tagatease to thump that fergo scum,

 

[rahnos]

We will dominate through the middle again like we did with souths.. no TLL or shillington is a massive advantage for us. Just need to capitalise on our opportunities and we should be pretty right for a win.

 

[Harold Holt]

Gal in = Bukyer out (if his injured otherwise TT).
Snow in (hopefully)= Cordoba out.
Aiton in = Flano out.

 

[vicsharkfan]

thinking this will be our toughest test over the last month..the snot rockets are desperate and on a little roll similar to us hopefully white played his one good game every 6 weeks 2nite.... rekon the so called experts will declare the loser of this game as semi finals chances as over!!

Tagatease to thump that fergo scum,

I would rather someone that was here last year do it coz its personal.

 

[Lumpy]

We should be able to get over the raiders. We usually beat them at Shark Park when we are on a roll. Would love to see another crowd of 19000+

[dylan the villian]

haha i had us 13+ last week.....am i ballsy enough again???

 

[snowman]

Do it.. that way its your shout after the game

 

[teflon77]

Don't let how bad the rooster were, leave you thinking the Raiders were that good. It will be tough but they won't be given space, disjointed defensive lines and massive holes to run into. They will have to create opportunities. The other point I would suggest needs to be considered, is we have it all over them in the forwards and that is our platform. Should be an interesting game and harder than the past 3.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The Roosters are rabble, absolute rabble. No wonder Gould jumped onto Penrith. If Todd Carney could tackle the game would have been closer. He made Tim Smith look like Dallas Johnson. On a positive note they did expose the Raiders left hand side and showed us exactly how to beat them. I'd expect a bit of traffic to be coming Jarrod Croker and Sam Williams way Saturday night.

 

[Murphy]

I thought the Raiders looked bloody strong and we are in for a hard contest it seems.We must move up quick in their face from the first minute,stop their run in the middle ...and especially those halves!

with the amount of drop ball the roosters gave them we could of put 50 on them

i have a feeling the raiders might think they in for a walk in the park like souths did

 

[deano the p]

I have a feeling they are sadly mistaken.

Team lists this arvo! What's your feeling is kelly going to get the call up?

 

[Bloody Kyle]

I hope not, Don't get me wrong i think Kelly is a fatastic player and i am looking forward to him being back in FG but this is a HUGE game for us and with kelly being out for so long he needs more game time in lower grades to get his match fitness back. Also our halves combo is going great guns so to break that up now for such a vital game would not be a good thing!

 

[snowman]

i would be tempted to chuck him in... but then everyone played well last week, including dumbo, so they deserve to stay

 

[deano the p]

Team lists this arvo! What's your feeling is kelly going to get the call up?

I highly doubt it. It has been said he is a while off yet and with his little drink I don't think he will be back the first round he is fit either.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

I don't think Kelly will be available anyway.

NSW Cup or bench for Flanagan.

 

[snowman]

i would like to see flanagan in nsw cup, with aiton and tyrone peachy on the bench.
its now obvious morris can go the 80, so why not blood the peach.
his pace and skill around the ruck could be a terror for the raiders big guys
