Round 18 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks v St George Illawara Dragons Sunday 12th July 2015 4:00pm @ Remondis

[slide rule]

Yeah he does it now, but it feels like it's ad lib, not coached and not part of the plan. He also tends to roam only when we're desperate for points or behind. I'd like to see him do that as part of our structure and our game plan. So in a perfect world the halves and Ennis would bring Fifita into that role depending on what was in front of them/ where the game was at.

So, he's doing it when it is needed now, but you want him to do it when it's needed?

Huh?

 

[slide rule]

Just as I said.

CHOGM says that Fifita is doing it now when the game commands it but he wants the plan changed so that Fifita does it when it is necessary, which is exactly what he is saying is happening now...

There is a difference between only doing it when we are in a desperate losing position; compared to being allowed to roam when we are in a field position that would suit it.

Your argument is like saying that a person should only be given a key to the toilet after they have started to already piss themselves, as opposed to having an unlocked toilet door.

I'd agree with that. Seriously though, we want Fifita getting involved creatively when points are on offer, not just when we're 20 points down with 10 to go.

So what happens when Fifita gives away dumb penalties for incorrect play the ball on the first tackle. Is that like wetting your pants then realising you need to do a piss? For some reason you can train a 3 year old to go to the toilet but you cant teach a 25 year old how to play the damn ball...love these analogies.

 

[vicsharkfan]

Even ole mate mark webber use to make better starts than us lately, really need to come out ready to rumble ruffle em up early through the Middle and put some points on.

 

[Tank]

We need Ennis to get through tmoz night. I'm confident if he plays we can go close to winning. Doubt Gal will back up. Bad ribs dodgy hammy . We have struggled against St Merge of late. Would love nothing more than to see a full house and a win on a Sunday arvo TV game.

 

[sharks2010]

I hope Robbie plays tomorrow night so ennis is nice and fresh for Sunday

 

[Blair]

I have a feeling Gal will play. Full house at home against The Merge, would be a hell of a game to play in.

3 full days recovery from origin, its possible.

On Fifs playing lock, I think its a good idea, and if Gal has a mortgage on 13 let him play there when Gal is out. Will still play there more often than Captain Paul. At least if Fifita was named in 13 you could put another big bopper in at front row, so that the harmen hitups aren't lost due to one of the front rowers standing out wide.

Well atleast it looks like Merrin won't be playing .....

SPORTSBET DROPPED OUR ODDS FROM $2 TO $1:90

 

[vicsharkfan]

Need gal and ennis,to bring the qld hate to remondis on Sunday and channel it at the drags...

 

[Sutty]

LOL Merrin goneskies, Dugan will surely pull up sore. Good signs.

Dugan was carrying his arm at the end.

Its hard to tell with him , he's like Matai .

 

[vicsharkfan]

Duges always looks banged up after a game.... Just hope 4 days aint enough..

 

[Sutty]

Yeah I've actually started to like Dugan a lot more. Back in his Canberra days he'd break a nail during a game and would be missing the next 2 months. These days he definitely seems to bang himself up a lot and play through injuries.

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Duges always looks banged up after a game.... Just hope 4 days aint enough..

Mary might rest him for the greater good.

Although playing him battered and bruised may be better for us than them running Hunt out

 

[Sutty]

Ennis would have made a crapload of tackles tonight, I would like to see us pick a second hooker on the bench to give him a breather and rest Feki.

 

[1990 sharkie]

Merrin wont be playing against us
