CRONULLA SHARKS
STRONGEST LINE-UP
1. Nathan Gardner
2. Nathan Stapleton
3. Ben Pomeroy
4. Colin Best
5. Matthew Wright
6. Wade Graham
7. Todd Carney
8. Bryce Gibbs
9. Isaac De Gois
10. Ben Ross
11. Jeremy Smith
12. Sam Tagataese
13. Paul Gallen
14. Anthony Tupou
15. Andrew Fifita
16. Jon Green
17. John Morris
New faces: Todd Carney (Roosters) Mark Taufua (Knights), Jeff Robson (Eels), Bryce Gibbs (Tigers), Jon Green (Dragons), Andrew Fifita (Tigers), Isaac De Gois (Knights), Ben Ross (Rabbitohs), Sosaia Feki (Warriors).
First five games: Tigers (A), Knights (H), Sea Eagles (H), Cowboys (A), Panthers (A)
This year could be great because:
Todd Carney. Nothing else needs to be said. If he can return to the form that helped steer the Roosters to the grand final in 2010, Cronulla are top-eight contenders. They have the forward pack to rival any in the comp.
This year could end in tears because:
Coach Shane Flanagan has a lack of star quality in his back line. He has enough forwards to fill two NRL teams but there's a question mark on where the points are going to come from.

Not as bad as the plethora of cliches about how great the off season training is going.

 

[gunnamatta bay]

Cronulla are top-eight contendersyes

 

[Ausguy]

So Is penrith. means nothing.

Personally I think we will get whipped next Sunday... Anyone agree?

Yes, unfortunately.

Tigers will give us a real wake up call.

 

[Windy70]

I don't think we'll get torn a new one. But it may be one of the "acceptable losses" that Flanno has mentioned that we will no longer be accepting.

I think we can win it. If not then prepare for the usual early season reasons, halves haven't meshed yet, outside needs more time to get used to TC play style and tempo etc.

 

[Ausguy]

Get used to his play?

f**k that... Pom just farkin hit some holes you useless prick. And gards follow him around like you want to date him for shits sake.

 

[coolumsharkie]

I'm gonna throw a hunge on us.

 

[Ausguy]

Put a pineapple on tigers as well to reduce your loss.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

tigers arent great starters.

i reckon we can go well.

 

[Ausguy]

go well... go shell...

now there is a good sponsor opportunity.

 

[Quigs]

Don't go with Caltex... That refinery is not looking healthy

 

[Qld-Sharkie]

Maybe TC has the wood on the Tigers.

Last 6 games its Todd with 5 wins - Tigpies 1

In saying that...it might all be negated with the Sharks woeful record.

Interesting.......perhaps Todd keeps Benji quite.

Benji usually is the carver when they make the fin soup.
