2021 R5 Sat - Sydney 26-18 Cronulla @ SCG

[Unscrupulous]

I hope it's as good as yours. Rooting 75 year old grannies then blokes. Your night is set.

The old girl goes alright aye

 

[Munted]

People seemed to forget we won the comp against the Storm 2016, that’s something Penrith couldn’t do last year, and you have people like munted wanting to kick the Sharks out...

Hah settle down girlfriend, it was a joke.

 

[Cockadoodledoo]

I look at what he did to Flanagan last year. Flanagan was was ok for you guys last year scored tries kicked goals but still got punted...

Comparing Flanagan to Walker is like comparing Pro Hart to Picasso. Flanagan is a total dud and everyone at the club knew it. He had to really show something last year because the club knew Walker was going to be absolutely special. The chances of Trent Robinson punting him is the same as you waking up tomorrow next to Miranda Kerr.

I wonder how long before Danger Trent Robertson gives him the flick, didn’t play that great tonite...

GZ, Flanno had an attitude problem. The senior players wanted him gone.

Senior players have that much clout?

Well yes. Players can get a coach sacked so rookie halves shouldn’t be too difficult. Apparently it was similar to Jackson Hastings type situation.

Watching the walker bubble burst is fun

Well this aged well.

 

[Sphagnum]

Well this aged well.

Tbf he was contributing nothing but post contact meters for the sharks when I said it.

I think the kid is gonna get schooled next week, though

Sharks played well.
They and the Titans are the best of the pretenders and should play finals.
Losing Graham and Dugan was probably the difference but someone had to step up and lead the comeback.
3 superb cutout try assists and an individual try is an awesome effort from the 18 year old.

I love the early comments in this thread about Sam Walker being a dud, and JWH being mentally challenged. Walker iced the game whilst JWH ran roughshod in the middle gaining more metres (206 metres from 21 runs than both the starting Cronulla props (161 metres combined), and only Daniel Tupou (231 metres) gaining more yardage in the match.

Only watched the replay once but the hit JWH on CT was soft for the penalty? Or was the penalty warranted?

It was late, that’s all. Penalty every time, though.

Had enough time to boil a pot of tea after the kick before making the tackle.

The Sharks ran out of juice with a depleted bench in the last 20 and the Roosters ran roughshod with all the ball. I don't think the Roosters should get too excited about a comeback against a mid-table side with two experienced players down. They play the Storm next week. That will give some idea of where they stand.

Yep definately warranted , it was late JWH threw his arms up to charge down the kick but the kick had already cleared then there seemed a pause of a second or two then Jarrod decided i will still tackle CT, it was late and stupid and everyone around us , even me groaned thinking the stupid Jarrod from the Souths game was back but after that he lifted his game and ran roughshod over the Cronulla pack.

At the roosters we don't get excited about round 5 victories mate regardless of opponent.

Just like we don't have a meltdown over early season losses.

It's a 6 month process which given the injuries will no doubt be trying at times but at 4-1 we are right on track to be there at the end of season yet again.

 

[horrie hastings]

I was surprised how soft Cronulla's defence was when Drew Hutchinson scored the try to get Easts back to 18-10, there was absolutely nothing on and Drew just strolled over, up until then Cronulla seemed in control with probably just a big enough lead to hold the Roosters out but with the ease of the Hutchinson try i thought we were still a chance but i wasn't expecting it to happen like it did with Walker exploding out of the box like he did in the last 15 mins.

 

[This Year?]

That was one crazy game. If the Sharks closed that out it would have been one of their greatest victories given their outs. Many positives to take from it.
Sam Walker looked alot like Steve McQueen in that 2nd half.
