Round 2, 2012 NRL Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks v Newcastle Knights @ Toyota Stadium, Sunday, March 11, 2:00pm

[sharkyboy]

Taga played bad cause he wasn't playing his natural style, on the edges running at smaller men at the gaps, with carney on the team he should score 10 tries this year

 

[Jigsaw]

Didnt Wright play at lock for Australian school boys?

 

[sharks2010]

5/8 I think jiggy

 

[josh11223344]

Bukuya will defs be in, remember he was named in the same number last week.

Remember last season mannah was always named in 19 or something but kept getting picked.

 

[sharks2010]

Did Tafua play Reggie's last week???

 

[Sir Chadley]

I'm happy with the team for the Knights. I applaud the dropping of Matty Wright. I remember when we first signed him from the panthers, there was incredible hype that he was killing it in the junior leagues, had amazing pace and a swerve and step that had everyone grasping at thin air.

Sorry, I haven't seen anything like that in his game.

 

[josh11223344]

he would of been one of those massive juniors but probs hasn't grown since and everybody has caught up and overtaken him. Always the way with the islanders.

 

[andrew's_sharks]

Matt Wright is still only 20, he is only 20 and had a bad game, give him a break, he still has a lot more improving to do and will be a lot better footballers than pretty much anybody on here.

 

[sharkyboy]

hes had a fair few bad games, but ill give him the benefit of the doubt that hes rarely played a game in his preferred position

 

[sharks2010]

And I doubt he will for a while. He wasn't even named there in nsw cup

 

[josh11223344]

Yeah that sucks I want to see him earn his centre spot instead of being shifted around like he has been since his debut.

He's played lock, centre, 5/8, wing, fullback

 

[josh11223344]

it's not often a player getting dropped from first grade isn't good enough to get there best position in reserve grade.

 

[Blix]

Did Tafua play NSW cup ???

If so how did he go?

This guy is a beast rate him very highly

 

[A.Snowden]

No one seems to be able to answer that question blix, s2010 has asked the same question a few times

 

[Sir Chadley]

And I doubt he will for a while. He wasn't even named there in nsw cup

He was named in NSW Cup as fullback.

 

[josh11223344]

That's what he was trying to say, won't get to play in his preferred position of centre for a while...

 

[sharks2010]

it's not often a player getting dropped from first grade isn't good enough to get there best position in reserve grade.

I'd say thats to see how he goes incase something happens to Gards or Gards form worsens

 

[josh11223344]

Yeah none of the other players in NSW cup can play FB but I still think the current NSW cup centres being fairly good is a reason he didn't play centre.

 

[A.Snowden]

Yeah he aint going to get a run ahead of feki or chambers. Think waqa is on the wing too.

 

[josh11223344]

feki has been pushed on the wing, leutele is the other centre. Pretty fricken stron backline, it's a shame we can't use waqa and chambers.
