Round 18, 2012 NRL: Cronulla Sutherland Sharks V Sydney Roosters @ Toyota Stadium, Monday July 9, 7.00pm

[Tank]

Just keep winning and for and against doesn't matter. Having said that this game will be tough and our Monday night form is F***** awful.

i agree i think we are in far better form and should win easy, but being on monday worries me. we have not
played well on mondays for the some reason

This year. Souths Dogs and Parra on Monday Yuk. All were away! We beat Manly at home on a Monday so lets hope being at home gets us over the line! How many other teams have had 5 Monday night games by the way??

great that graham and jez escape suspension... im ok i guess with the high contact charge against graham as its in line with what we have seen recently... still a great shot but and i reckon it shoulda been a try!! (thru shark goggles i guess) at the game it seemed legit!!

my bro is a broncos fan and was filthy about it both incidents actually... so much fun stirring him up last few days

with gallen n toddy and with expections on the side they gotta stand up and deliver!! id say we are all pretty confident we have only lost one game at home this year and we coming up against a team that has been inconsistent all year..

mondays blow but not much we can do about it.. might be good conidering origin is wednesday giving gal n todd 5 full days to recover and be primed for the sharkies

Monday night is the upset night...

proven by our win against manly, and the losses against parra, souths.

proven again tonight by the raiders.

Monday nights are upset nights. Ive tipped this way every week since round 3 and i am well in front

 

[evertonshark]

Its a pity this game is on a monday night, would have probably been a sell out if it was on a sunday arvo. Hopefully will still be a decent turn out.

 

[Webbyshark]

I know it's a Monday night and it's hard for some people to get there because of work commitments or whatever. But we owe it to the boys to get a huge crowd there on Monday cheering them on

 

[Jimako]

It might be a decent crowd since it is school holidays & the kiddies can stay up longer.

 

[rahnos]

I hope to see mills in for gordon

 

[Lumpy]

We need to really put our heads down for this one.

I want to see the boys play with the same intensity as last week.

The Roosters can be good on their day. We have to get into them early.

 

[kiwishark]

I'll be there, if I can make it from NZ then some of the locals can surely... Will be my 8yr olds first visit to Shark Park we are both pumped!!!!

 

[snowman]

oh wow... im 100% having a beer with you mate

 

[sharkyboy]

Will toops give you and your boy exclusive access for the game? Get all the boys signatures and a tour of Toyota would be a dream come true !

 

[kiwishark]

Yeah buddy, also doing the Gong the week after

 

[Bundy Shark]

Does anyone know the points loading for Wade & Jez, I know they were charged but could escape suspension if they pleaded guilty, thats great they are available for this weekend but whats the long term ramifications, does that mean if they sneeze the wrong way or blink at the wrong time they have a points carry over/loading & will get suspended, this make me nervous going into the semi's.

This game would never have been a sell out regardless of when it was played.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Easts are one of those teams that can look fantastic when switched on, but they can only seem to produce it in patches, very rarely for an entire game. They have some big, mobile forwards but we should be able to cover them going into the game full strength (hoping Gallen plays).

If you've been following Cronulla for a long time you never get overly confident going into any game, however we have a reasonably good run over the next four weeks before finishing off with three tough games. Don't care how much we win by, we just need to win at least three of our next four games.

Graham -

Should the club fight the charge against Graham, who was charged with a grade-one careless high tackle after a hit that forced the ball from Broncos fullback Josh Hoffman, the player still only faces a penalty of 75 carry-over points, not enough to register a suspension. Smith, meanwhile, would miss a match if he was found guilty at the judiciary following a dangerous contact charge.

​

Smith -

The club has more to lose by fighting the charge against Smith. Effectively, the Sharks must make a points decision with Graham, given carry-over points are all he stands to lose.

Yeah possibly will have to ask on Sunday, was more thinking of sitting amoungst the masses of the CSSC to be honest. we got the treatment in Taupo

 

[sharkboy18]

This is going to be my first ever match im going to at Shark Park, im pumped up, we will have Carney back, Graham and Smith have escaped suspension, Galls might be back, hopefully Stapo has another blinder.

Whats the best way to get to the ground? :cheers

But im asking seriously this time guys, whats the best way to get there, staying at Hyde park. Any buses or trains I can catch nearby? And where do the CSSC sit?
