Game Day - Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks versus Saint George - Illawarra Dragons

[Poss]

Could have been better.

But got the 2 points without Dugan, Moylan, Fifita and Nikora, with Ramien injured in first half. I’ll take it.

 

[Marchad]

Hopefully Bryson never pulls on a Sharks jersey ever again.

Oh kaaarnts. Your shut up shop and protect the lead shit almost bought you undone, you utter f**kwits. Wake the faaark up Imbo’s. It nearly never works. Twat yeast wankers.

I thought the problem was more they got too cute, trying too much as they were doing it easy and then suddenly when their trick plays failed they were caught napping as the Dragons suddenly pounced.

Think it was after Chad f**ked up about 3 plays in a row including falling over in space....

 

[Card Shark]

We go alright when we get good periods of possession (& don’t have to defend) but we won’t get that luxury against the good sides.

Anyway, as Poss said, we are down a few & a win is a win!

How good was it to hear Up Up Cronulla @ Kogarah!!

 

[shadowboxer]

Careful Chad Police might hear you

 

[glenmoresharkie]

2 points is 2 points but f**k that made that difficult

 

[King Ben]

Never in doubt.

 

[azzah72]

We have the best attack in the comp right now.

 

[Spazer]

Good game. You guys have a good young forward pack.

 

[azzah72]

Strike that, second best, roosters #1

 

[eddiesmith]

Strike that, second best, roosters #1

But 5th worst defence, we have conceded 100 points more than every team in the 8

 

[myrrh ken]

Thank f**k for that. Got out of jail there. Played well for 70mins.

Merge played pretty well at the end

 

[txta2]

Yeah most commentators are right, SJ will never win a GF. That 2nd half performance nearly cost them the game

 

[Generalzod]

Just watched the St George Presser you guessed it Mary blames it on the refs..

Just watched the St George Presser you guessed it Mary blames it on the refs..

Mary loses to a team when he has 2 nrl coaches, 1 of which has won a premiership with the team he was just beaten by.
And they lost at home.

Just watched the St George Presser you guessed it Mary blames it on the refs..

I hope he was complaining about his team being allowed to spend most of the second half offside. They won’t be allowed to do that against better teams

 

[Weaponhead]

Jekyl and Hyde performance. Looked a million bucks with momentum. Played like bums without. Can't defend Dufty. Carves us up each time.

Dufty looks great each time he plays us.

I remember Hayne even when out of form against us he would score a try it was a given.

Some players always do well against us

 

[wibble]

Heart attack stuff.

We saw good Johnson dominate, and bad Johnson let the Dragons right back in.

Both sides were unlucky at different points. Agree with Poss and Card Shark, a win while missing so many good players, is pretty crucial.

I loved the work of Hunt and Rudolph, making huge metres when we were on top. They have been revelations this year.

I also thought Wilton came on and did a great job, particularly in defense with some crucial tackles at big moments that shut down a very threatening Dragons attack. Looks like a good kid.

Have to give Morris credit for identifying and developing Hunt. At 24 with 1 prior NRL game he was likely to be another lower grade journeyman. Morris saw something and has put the time and effort into building him into a player.

Big Royce has played 6 games, winning 5. He isnt playing big minutes but is having an impact. Last night in 28 minutes he made 207 metres from 20 carries with 80 post contact. Granted we had a ton of ball but he monstered the Dragons. He has gone from fill-in big man to weapon in 6 weeks.
