Round 9. Cronulla Sharks V Parramatta Eels Saturday 5th of May 7.35pm Southern Cross Group Stadium

[Sir Chadley]

I'm surprised this hasn't been put up as yet.

This will be a tough game but again one we should win.

The one fellow I think we should target in this game is Kenny Edwards.

He hasn't got much between the ears poor fellow and is always good for multiple errors, brain snaps and missed tackles.

 

[HaroldBishop]

I didn't see their game but **** me, we need to improve on last week's performance. That was just horrible to watch.

 

[sharkyboy]

We move on from last game. It was wet, leaders out, lost our back up left edge player and the titans were gutsy and we got the win.

Hopefully a nice clear night we can play a bit faster and wider. I’m confident again.

 

[HaroldBishop]

I agree that I'd love to see us play wider and faster, but I just don't see that as how we play.

If I recall correctly it was always in our game plan to play through the middle and be ‘boring’ with the weather and players out.

As we’ve seen those grinding boring tough games can really turn a season. I expect plenty of points this one even if we lose

Hope you're right mate.

This is a much better Parra then we played at the start of the year. We need to go up a level then what we showed against the Titans.

 

[Sharkyle]

Parra are a different team with Norman

Yet we ran around Penrith multiple times on the flanks, dominated them physically and put 4 tries on the board. We can win this game. All comes down to attitude

Exactly. It’s almost like we adapt our gameplan each week :0

 

[Thresher]

No Dugong. Val to the back I guess.

No coincidence that was our only day game - We love the sunshine, nearly always look a better team attacking wise. Broadcast deal means majority of teams spend most of their time under lights unfortunately which brings the conditions more into play

Parra are a different team with Norman

No they are a different team when Norman and the rest of his team have a proper go and rip in. That game against tigers was all attitude, even Mana and Avalro (usually semi-plodders) were charging into the defense like maniacs. Norman has been apart of the teams that have sucked this year for Parra. Up until the Manly game Brown was the only player making any impact for them.

Gutho/French inclusions if anything have had a more noticeable impact than their halves - but they gotta win as many games as possible before Hayne gets back in that team lol

 

[Gumby]

Bring in Katoa!! Val to fullback.

Wanted another chance at the back, well here it is!!

 

[CrazyMatt]

Yep I’m on board with the Val to 1 Katoa to the wing idea. I want Moylan to find his feet at 6 and get better. Moving him now albeit temporarily won’t help him.

 

[Gards]

Doesn't even matter if Val is the next best fullback anymore, we need to leave our halves alone and give them a chance or we have no hope towards the back end

Val has built some confidence back up on the wing, I think he can only be better this time round at FB compared to the earlier rounds

 

[Sharkyle]

Bring in Katoa!! Val to fullback.

Wanted another chance at the back, well here it is!!

And Val has been great in the last few games so hope he has his confidence back

Exactly.

If Flanno wants Moylan as his 6 he cant shift him to 1 just cos Dugan copped another injury. Moylan needs to develop hos 6 game so has to stay there. If Val wants the 1 he needs to come out and impress, the more chances he gets the more he needs to show. If hes a dud then he needs to accept it. Or he can go to another club to play fb and hinder their team.

Let's hop Val and Katoa both kill it .. I love Dugan when he's on the field but his injury rate is stupid

No. I’m the Big Bloke in real life.
