Round 8. Cronulla Sharks V Gold Coast Titans Saturday 28th April 5.30pm Cbus Stadium

I dunno about dropping Capewell, the way HIA is these days and with someone like Dugan known for not finishing games, having nobody that can cover our backline on the bench is a worry to me.

We have Wade who can play 6 and Moylan to 1. We have Sorensen and Bukuya who can play centre. We have options. Paulo can slo play 5/8

I think we will see Dillion dropped for capewell. just my opinion

Flanno mentioned post game at the presso that he is all about having 2 props on the bench now as the game is getting bigger

bukuya is a massive in for us. he was in killer form before he got injured. looking forward to seeing him back. and well done to Sorensen on once again getting a start.

interested to see how he backs up his performance from last week.

bukuya is a huge inclusion, prior to his injury he was easily our best player

 

[Thresher]

I was referring to chucking him in centre if there was an injury. Why on earth would I have mentioned Josh Jackson who has never started centre in his life?

Quick to bite at people but too ****ing stupid to read what they are writing.

So we're supposed to carry a replacement centre on the bench just in case there's an injury to a centre?

 

[Sutty]

Boogie back and Prior getting a bunch more time on the field. Fifita defending as well as he has since the GF year. I'd definitely back our forward pack to bash theirs.

A "utility" 2nd rower.

 

[Thresher]

And I was saying that Sorensen would be just as suitable as a utility second rower as Capewell. And I'm a fan of Capewell.

 

[Sutty]

Fair enough.

Titans have unfortunately dropped Elgey (useless turnstile) and replaced him with Cartwright (a bigger turnstile but can do some tricks or something). Sorensen for another try if he gets the start ahead of Bukuya.

their forward pack is just as good as ours

jarrod wallace, peats, ryan james, kevin proctor, jai arrow

they wont be push overs

Definitely a strong pack (Arrow is an absolute gun). Without Peats, and with Rein there instead flopping on tackles all 80 and giving crap service, I think we counter them nicely. They will tire.

:good:

I agree. However with bukuya, segy, Ava and Dillion/capes I reckon we have the stronger bench which should get us over the line.

 

[Gumby]

Why would we need that with two hookers in the 17?

This is going to sound harsh but with the form that Wade's been in this year, do we really miss much when he's out?

100 % , if he was carrying injuries prior to the last one .
Then perhaps he shouldn't have been playing then .
If he's still not 100% , don't play .
Sorensen proved he can hold the fort .

In the past I worried myself silly when we had our best players out.

Old timers will remember years ago the groans that went around Endeavour Field when you heard the ground announcer say, “Number 3 Steve Rogers is out replaced by.....” you never heard who was taking his place, no one cared.

But these days we can carry our good guys being out, we do have some good depth.

 

[egg]

Chaddo. That's a new one.

You prefer Chadsit ?

 

[Sutty]

Any word on how bad Lewy's calf is yet

 

[Sir Chadley]

No.

On 2SM this afternoon Flanno said about a month.

 

[egg]

No.

Chaddo it is then

 

[Sir Chadley]

Chaddo it is then

It’s Chadley!

 

[egg]

It’s Chadley!

I'll try to comply
