In promising news..
They won’t score 50 so we’re a chance of lifting the trophy.

1st place vs. kids tonight.
Would have been good to see our pack do more. Sharks way too easy out their own end early on.

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
I just realized something interesting… when we played them a month ago, we got up 18-0 and then they came back to win.
This time around, they got up 18-0 and then **** killed us.
How ironic.

FULL TIME
Cronulla Sharks 40
Canberra Raiders 0
MATCH REPORT: Shark attack: Cronulla dominate Raiders in Canberra
The Cronulla Sharks have continued their sparkling start to the season with a commanding victory over the Raiders. Canberra had won five of their past six games on home turf, however they were no match for the visitors on Sunday afternoon. Sharks captain Cameron McInnes opened the scoring in the 12th minute and they didn't look back.
Halfback Nicho Hynes had a try, two try assists and six goals as he orchestrated a dominant team performance. The 40-0 victory was Cronulla's fourth on the trot and ensured they retained their position on top of the NRL table.

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
Didn’t expect it to be that bad. Biggest worry was the middle, for the teams supposed strength they were embarrassing today. Shades of the v’landys ball season tonight I thought.

The most important change is in the coaching department. Ricky is yesterday's man with no idea how to coach in the modern era!
It's a simple game; tackle, back-up, pass, hold the ball! What did I say? "Hold the bloody ball!!"

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
Is anyone surprised? Fair dinkum look at the youth and injuries. Anyone who thinks Flegg/Cup players can slot in and we put on points against the ladder leaders and even win is delusional. This is what blooding youth en masse looks like, especially without the experience and leadership around them.

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
We simply cannot run out next week with Levi and Starling in FG
they're simply not NRL level footballers. With the spine being so young and inexperienced we can no longer afford to carry these guys. Woolford is no great shakes but he's better than these guys. Get Puru into the #14, he only needs to give us 15-20 minutes of hooker play, and what ever he gives us could not possibly be worse than what we're getting from Levi and Starling.

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
Cook needs to be our 7. Unfortunately Weekes is not a halfback. A bit unfair as he's being asked to perform a role that doesn't suit his skill set.
Woolford back at dummy half. The other key change. We can't take that spine into another game.
As for the pack. Send them all out there next week and tell them to redeem themselves.

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
You can blood youth while still instilling basic concepts like defensive effort, line speed, and basic attacking formation.Old School Green wrote: ↑April 28, 2024, 6:00 pm Is anyone surprised?

You also could not shoot yourself in the foot by holding some weird vendetta against the best hooker (by some margin too) that this club currently has on its books.

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
You're right to a certain extent, but our starting front row are all internationals; Young has played Origin; Smithies has won a premiership with Wigan; and our centres have represented NZ. There's enough experience there that today's **** shouldn't have happened.Old School Green wrote: ↑April 28, 2024, 6:00 pm Is anyone surprised? Fair dinkum look at the youth and injuries.

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
40-NIL LOSS. It goes without saying that the defensive effort was poor. I made it 60 missed tackles. 10 sets of missed tackles. Back to the drawing board on defensive play. Simi lead the misses with 8 in his 80 minutes. DL missed 4 in 41 minutes game time. Needs more Woolford although the rest of the forwards were also poor. Strange, Weekes, Papa, Young and Ata all missed 5. Taps missed 4 as did Mooney.
Another milestone match and another poor performance from the Raiders.

Yeah, I suspect if the middles turned up it wouldn’t have been a win but it wouldn’t have been a flogging.

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
100% this needs to happen. Woolford is average but still our best dummy half. Starling at 14 has been a waste for several seasons now. can't remember the last time he provided any "spark" off the bench. Puru can give Woolford a short spell and provide some impact on the middle.Botman wrote: ↑April 28, 2024, 6:02 pm We simply cannot run out next week with Levi and Starling in FG
