Round 9, 2012 NRL: Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks v South Sydney Rabbitohs @ ANZ Stadium, Monday May 7, 7:00pm

Stapo won't be ready surely.

It has to be Ike or Leutele.

Personally I'd give it to Leutele. He's just playing too good in NSW cup to not give him a call up. If he can't get a run now it's unfair on him.

Ike and Stapo can train the house down and play during our bye as I believe NSW Cup will still be playing, then if they show up well can be fighting out for a spot the week after the bye maybe.

i wouldnt want ricky leutele on the wing though M^B

 

[Mark^Bastard]

I'd probably rather him there than Ike or Stapo though.

Unless Ike goes to fullback and Wright to the wing.

 

[snowman]

the other smokey for a wing spot might be moroko

we will find out in 3 hours time anyway

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Haha you reckon? Dead set it'll be the same 1-18 including Taga in 17 and Taufua in 18 I reckon.

 

[snowman]

yeh, i wouldnt be surprised.

they have cleared gallen but said nothing about mills who was clearly struggling and getting attention off the trainers when there was a break in play

could be a late scratching

Hasn't Mills got a torn hammy?

Yeah, I'm just saying it doesn't seem like a lot of effort goes into the team lists unless it's really obvious.

Someone like Mills, with no real obvious replacement, he'll just name Mills and worry about the decision during the week.

 

[Tiger Shark]

yep agreed

Agreed.. I think I have calmed down enough from last night to start to see things clearly..
I was pretty critical of a few of the boys (particularly Mills, Williams and Pom) but reading through a few of the comments
you guys have out up today has changed my opinion. Inglis was on Fire.. You just cant defend that.
If that is the worst game we have all year then I'm happy man. At least we where in it for the 80 and didn't give in like we have in the past.
Bring on the Storm..

 

[in:extremis]

Some of the dribble on here from people that think they know something about rugby league is just boring and painful to sift through.

Souths completed 31 from 32 sets, you can't really beat that. That fact coupled with Inglis magic meant that to be within 6 was a pretty good effort, although it wasn't like a big surprise what Inglis can do and we should have tried to hurt him more. People calling for players to be dropped should ban themselves from this forum and talking about rugby league in general because you don't know ****.

A few worries for me is the amount of points we have conceded in the last 2 games. Mills makes bad decisions in defence and sometimes looks as soft as David Simmons. Carney's goal kicking isn't good enough.

good post.

Although it has been mentioned a few times recently about tc's goalkicking, what is wrong with it? He has been getting better and hotdog isn't a top kicker at all.

 

[Deleted member 3365]

winning is something new for us over the past couple of seasons...its like a drug fix in a way..we are on a high after the six wins but once it gets taken from us some go a bit crazy and edgy then they calm down...

 

[ACT SHARK]

Flanno has named the same side. Mills might be alright, or could be a late change.

 

[gando2230]

I'm not sure what Hotdogs and TC's kicking percentages are But i would rather TC with the team discussing the next play giving orders than worrying about
kicking them from the sidelines.

He's been injured lately hasn't he?
He has a hit on him.. I copped it a few times playing against him!!

Well hopefully next we'll have The Flash kicking them for us

dont know mate. seen him play nswcup and he handles the contact from the bigger guys very well. reckon he will eb a solid first grade winger in a few seasons

 

[djhabib]

I think Moroko played in the 20s last night at centre. He looked very dangerous

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Ike and Stapo named in the NSW Cup teams.
