Fcuk! Arona is playing.

doubt it


Paul Green has been forced into a host of changes for tonight's Holden Cup clash with the 14th placed Sharks at Remondis Stadium.

Five-eighth Samisoni Langi, backrowers Jack Noble and Jack Siejka and utility Bradley Deitz were named on Tuesday by Green but will miss the clash after the Head Coach confirmed his side for the Monday night clash this afternoon.

Winger Graham Su'a Poe, backrower Matt Baker, prop Tuiala Togitasi and utility Clarrie Moore have been called as replacements.

The new-look outfit sees a host of positional changes also, which you can check out by clicking

I wouldn't know mate. I assumed he would be playing, but as you said he might be 18th man.

Not sure if Napa is playing, Arona might be in or he might just be 18th man.

will be interesting to see which way Robbo goes tonight when replacing LOD, either Langi will play in the centres like last week and Maubs moves into the second row and Guerra onto the bench or Arona will slot onto the bench and Langi will be 18th man.

the fact Jack Noble and Jack Siejka are warming up tonight as 19th and 20th men goes to show how thin our depth is at the moment due to injuries/suspension and releasing the likes of Tasi/Masoe/Symonds/Takairangi/BJ at various points during the season.

not sure a bench rotation of Mortimer/Liu/Arona/Napa would put much fear into opposition sides heading into the final series, has got to the stage where we can't afford any more injuries.

Massive game tonight, if we win we will basically rap up the Minor premiership (we will beat the titans next week) which we will need to avoid the storm in the first finals game.

If we finish 2nd it will be a massive downer which i don't think we will recover from.

So if we dont win the minor premiership , we cant win the comp ?

What a load of garbage - lol

BTW we have the lead in the Holden cup.

It's 22-20 with 2 minutes remaining.

[Guest]

kick off in t minus 20 minutes.

big game. a win here will see us all but wrap up the minor premiership with 2 games to go. however, if you believe the conspiracy theorists, the NRL will make sure cronulla win tonight in order to ensure max revenue for round 26.
im prediciting a tight, low-scoring game. of the four games weve lost this year, we always had the smaller forward pack. it is the same again tonight. the sharks, thanks to a little thing called PEPTIDES, have one of the biggest packs in the NRL.
can we withstand it? i think we'll just get pipped 12-10.
expect a big game from mitchell pearce.

i love how EVERY announcer says "Tupou is amazing under the high ball" but in all honesty he hasnt done much under it this year so idk why they keep saying it, is it cos his tall and they assume it? or have i just missed all his trys from high balls?
