2025 FW2 SF Sat - Canberra 12-32 Cronulla @ GIO

Storm vs Sharks will be interesting. I havent been convinced by Storm all year and Sharkies should have them covered in the forwards easily. But its easy to forget about the team who has had the week off.

6 day turnaround will hurt. I think storm have us covered anyway

DCE was cooked this year but I'm not sure Cleary or Moses would make a big difference over there with the bloke in the coaches box tbh.

Well we’ll never know the accuracy of this statement because Nathan Cleary and Mitchell Moses aren’t going to be playing for Manly.

Bryan Fletcher should be on the panel more often. Doesn't try and sugar coat shit, just says what he thinks.

If you’re not sure then it’s best not to comment on it

I think that is a sensible idea.

Sharks haven't looked back since McInness got injured. Look better in fact.

 

[BadnMean]

Sharks halves played excellently, well done.

And those 2 identical beardy middles were a handful. Go get 'em now Sharkies!

They're playing better footy also

On the bus leaving the stadium. f**k tonight hurts. All the more considering how many times we all thought we had it won last week.

Appreciate @Dragon Slayer’s comments, showing real class there mate and that’s the exact reason I asked people to ease up on the DV stuff earlier. You give as good as you get but you’re a class act in the end and I appreciate that.

Congrats to the Sharks. If we can’t win I hope it’s you because honestly, f**k the Panthers, Storm and Broncos.

How good was the sharkies viking clap...almost as good as up up cronulla blaring at full time
Hilarious

There's alot of hurtin' in his face.
I'm still numb and they aren't even my team.

Surely he's got the dollars to get that pinky fixed though jesus christ

Matty Nable narrating over a Karnivool mashup is an offence to humanity itself.

We've had some of these seasons.. great regular season, then finals just don't happen for whatever reason. It sucks.

I'll never understand how last week happened to Canberra. But if you got through that, it would have been so different. Game of inches (and refereeing game management)

Holy f**k you’re still alive! Good to see you old mate.

Why are they all holding pens? Surely none of them have the hand eye coordination to write legibly.

I think it's problems for the Raiders next year tbh. Can see them missing the 8.

Fogarty didn't have a great finals series but he's a massive loss. I'd be surprised if Sanders is ever at his level but he's sure as shit not next year. Otherwise no real changes to the squad apart from Brailey in, he's decent quality plod.

Brailey would take Pattie’s bench spot which is a minor upgrade. Finau will be pushing Savage for starting winger which if injury free I think he will take. That will hopefully mean Jed is never seen in first grade.

Biggest hurdle Canberra will always have is Ricky. Losing Strange so late is tough but partnering Sasagi with Fogarty is all time levels of stupid. His use of the bench continues to be ridiculous, he just seems to forget to make changes in the second half.

Fogarty is no loss. One of the most limited halves in the comp imo; mental midget, awful defender, clueless in the attacking 20m but has a great long kicking game with good floating bomb. He’ll end up back up for Joey Walsh mid way through next season

 

[skeepe]

Fogarty was such a disappointment in the finals. The absolute opposite of clutch.

The Raiders overall as a unit were extremely disappointing
