Official Match Thread - Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks vs Sydney Roosters

[Salvatori Grubber]

Because he's not a contracted Roosters player.
It's been one of my constattnt complaints since the Wyong arrangement started. What is the point if Robbo can't give one of our players a run in a particular position in reserve grade.

Good point - never thought of it in those terms, but you’re bang-on good sir.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Agree he has a great offload which is what we are lacking to create that second phase play to give ball too our outside backs. He would offer more than Matterson

Exactly, which is why I say Matto drops-out, TKO to back row, Jared to start alongside Napa and Butcher into the 17.

Do that for 3 or 4 weeks and I guarantee you Butcher wont drop out for rest of year.

I mean fck me, Evans was in the 17 for ages while we were a top 4 side at the time; as if Butcher couldn’t do better? He can tackle, for one.

We need the pack to fire up and good quick ball to the halves.If that happens the roosters back line will blow away any side in this comp including the sharkies.Is it going to happen? Who knows? We will have to wait and see what roosters team turns up on Friday night.If we don't start seeing improvement there will be changes,Uncle Nick brought cronk here and is paying him big bucks to steer this side to a premiership Cronks the play-maker,if hes not happy with how things are going there will be a few changes,we will see what happens on Friday night im not putting any dough on them though they could win by 20 or lose by 20.

No changes...I fear the result will be the same as against the Warriors.

Yes another tough team but this time with less positivity/energy and more niggling. Duges and Moylan are back too (they beat the Storm without either).

I predict a similar result which is disappointing because I think our roster has more talent on paper.

Its a case of what Shite they deliver this week.
whens the last time we beat them at Caltex? and Cummins ref too...Pushing shite uphill I think.Hope for the best

[chopstiks]

Hard to play with any flair against the grubs.

I expect one helluva dirty grubby grind.

[chopstiks]

So most on here don't think we can win this week....and based on the sharkies forum, their fans aren't worried either!

Don't know how I'm feeling yet.

we actually beat them in the last couple of rounds last year on their home ground. Our forwards actually played well that night.

I can make sense every so often, thank you

I have thought since the start of the Wyong arrangement , what if we need to give a back up hooker game time, and they run into a roadblock called Mitch Williams ?

How does that benefit our first grade team?

Well there you go - it’s art imitating life. Or something else. I’m not sure. Let’s just agree that you nailed it and that Politis needs you on the board.

[David Bill Williams]

Will be another hard day in the office for us. They have a good forward pack and we all know how the Chooks against a team with a good forward pack.

[Thirteen]

I also wonder when Nat Butcher gets a crack.

My Kingdom for a forward with the ability to offload.

It's not easy to offload against much bigger and stronger men. I'm not saying he can't I just think off-loads at NRLstandard for little Butcher will be few and far between.
