Round 21 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks v New Zealand Warriors Saturday 1st August 2015 3:00pm @ Mt Smart Stadium

We would be stupid to solely focus to much on Townsend to stop their creativity.Warriors fans seem quite confident they have the flair in other areas to cover SJ.

If Townsend is the difference we're in strife.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Hurrell and Vatevai are in.

 

[Loyal Shark]

Our forwards need a repeat of the doggys game , a repeat performance by Ennis would be nice. Oh yeah and stop Robbo from kicking the ball.

They got out muscled by Manly. They really struggle without those meters from the likes of Vatuvei & Hurrell on tackle 1 & 2. If they're back it'll make our job harder, but I think I read Vatuvei & Hoffman expected back round 22 but not sure.

Another game in my opinion where if we control possession we'll win. Almost did it last time except for some brilliance only Shaun Johnson or RTS could pull off, and neither of them will be seen in Warriors jerseys till next year.

All on us if we win or lose this I think.

Well that makes it tougher, especially being 2 Fifitas down.

Should target Vatuvei. He's been out a long time and might not have his read on the ball as good as he'd like. Obviously trying to get it in behind him and make the big guy turn around is a goer, but we'll probably only go away from it if it works to focus on dropping mediocre bombs halfway in the in-goal to superior leapers.

our teams about as good as it gets.

Id love to see Sami get a run in place of our current 4 man but whatever.

who'd you replace?

Ricky.

 

[Bundy Shark]

I'm wondering whether we take Jnr into the game over Arona, assuming Jnr is more of the mobile of the two I would take a game plan into the game at moving the warriors big men around & hoping they run out of puff.

Missing Johnson they lose a lot of that as lib where they can punish you, they can still as lib without Johnson but we won't be burned by them them as bad.

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Id have dropped gordon and put barba in. Then had 4 big bodies on the bench

 

[snowman]

Arona over Robinson I think. Isn't Robinson contracted to the Jets?

Haha. Classic Derrick post by him

 

[JimBob]

As I stated, Robinson played earlier in the year (Titans game) so he's contracted to us.

Reason I added Robinson to the bench was because I thought Flanno would replace Lewis with Toops (which he has) and replace Fifita with a prop in Robinson.

Will be at a wedding on Saturday, right on kick off to boot!

Will need plenty of updates fellas.

Also not favourites that's a plus, we are sharks and nothing comes easy

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

How the **** are we not favourites to beat a team missing its most important player?? Fair enough no fifita but still

 

[Born&bred]

No Fifita(s) - no Lewis
