Round 5 2015 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks v Sydney Roosters Sunday 5 April 2015, 4:00pm @ Allianz

I cant see flanno chucking murphy in at no.7,

pearce / maloney are to experienced and are the form team of the comp.
they will put a cricket score with the massive roosters forward pack running at Murphy all game.

he will stick with last round "game plan" and try and bash them through the middle and stick with wade / robson

 

[CHOGM]

Gordon in the centres????

Because Flanno won't drop him and he has mentioned him playing in the centres before.

I don't remember him talking about Gordon in the centres. Anyway, it won't happen.

Didn't Gordon play centre against the dragons last year?

 

[GymeaGorilla 72]

After that debacle I'm happy to see Gordon and A Fifita run around for Newton

Gal to prop, Holmes to fullback and bring in Gagan. Would love to see Murphy in 6 but not sure debuting against the roosters is the best option. Perhaps Beale at 6 and bring in Ayshford that's how desperate we are

In the presser before the game. How does he get Bird into the team then? The best option would be below, but it requires Gordon being dropped.
Holmes
Beale
Bird
Leutele
Feki

 

[CHOGM]

If Flanno is worried about Val playing a full game at 1, he can swap him with Beale during the game, who's played 1 before. Gordon is not necessary.

 

[CrazyMatt]

I reckon We are going to win this game. It has to turn around sooner or later.

Im guessing your being sarcastic, if not, then your on crack. If we can't beat the Titans, how the hell are we going to beat the Roosters??? I know I remember last year, the Chooks won't let that happen again though.

Roosters 38
Sharks 12

yeah I know I'm idiot. But I just think we can do it in a close game... One can only hope anyway

Don't get your hopes up so high. It hurts more when the inevitable happens and we fail again. One thing I've learned from supporting this club.

 

[Born&bred]

Flanno talked about playing Beale at 5/8 in the pre game presser, if we had an injury or something. Is it so crazy short term?

Yes it's massively crazy when we have a ****ing reserve half that is performing in NSW cup - any choice other than Murphy is brain-dead stupid and was so last week.

We need to put Ennis to captain.

Can't be any more true than this.

 

[JimBob]

Flanno's starting to get backed into a corner and the guy knows it. Don't be surprised if he makes uncharacteristic changes.

Here's hoping...

1. Holmes
2. Feki
3. Beale
4. Leutele
5. Gordon
6. Murphey
7. Robson
8. A. Fifita
9. Ennis
10. D. Fifita
11. Lewis
12. Graham
13. Gallen

14. Prior
15. Tupou
16. Heighington
17. Bird

That's one new player in for a suspended guy and one reshuffle? Nothing major and we won't change our style

 

[Dazman]

Holmes played good vs Titans, that is unacceptable in a sharks team, drop him, needs more Ayshford and M.Brown

Ha ha ha. Awesome.

 

[Dazman]

So you're saying two penalties then.

Take the two!!!

If you think bringing in a proper half won't help, you're insane.

Barba and Graham have both been played out of position at 5/8, Murphy (due to Brown and Stanley's injuries) is the only reasonable option left.

Also, Gordon's been shocking at fullback, moving Holmes to fullback will change our team immensely.

With flanno in charge Dce and Thurston will look **** with us.

Gordon shouldn't get paid by us unless it's a payout

I don't know how many halves we've had since 2008, but they've all looked pretty much exactly the same, except for Carney.

Seymour did an ok job for a bit too.

So in summary, I don't care who they get, as long as they are alcoholic. :yawn:

Really though, they have pretty much all looked the same- Directionless. The above two included.

Sadly that would be a good result for us.

I actually totally agree with everything here.
