Game Day - Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks vs. Canterbury Bulldogs

[Frenzy.]

Even though the Cowgirls aren’t playing great. Will be a much bigger test and somewhat of a glance into their mentality.

You’d imagine they’d be up for that.

Not sure we were ever going to get out of 2nd gear against the dogs.

The two wingers tries and the ease at which they scored them was most concerning for mine.

Not even counting that absolute laugh of a forward pass try.

It's a traditional grudge match. They've finally had a win in a gritty match. The Cowsheilas will be up for the Sharks. They also have the recent memory of beating us on our home track in a semi.

This is the game where the Sharks have to find all 5 "C"s

Courage, commitment, confidence, comfortability (in their ability) and consistency.

Hate to have set up the other end

 

[shadowboxer]

I know he gets bagged a bit but I thought moyza went well last night. Apart from the attempted push

I tend to agree with you but still has plenty of work to do. His Nico to Ronnie to Moylan was special.
He’s not alone in the team of being inconsistent…he also has dead eyes

 

[SharkShocked]

I’m a Moylan critic. But I thought he had a pretty good game.

 

[Special K]

Nikora is something else. I love him.

 

[DJDL]

He’s definitely taken it up a notch this year.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Nikora is something else. I love him.

My fave without question.

Just watching the replay again this morning. The set of six in between our first and second try was absolute rugby league perfection - five barnstorming runs for a well placed kick and a perfect catch by Will. Absolutely beautiful to watch

 

[Special K]

My fave without question.

Everything about him I love. Last year he was just belting blokes every week in D. Now he has taken his attack to a new level. He would have to be in the conversation for form backrower. Everything he does is so physical and aggressive. Some of those lines he runs is like he is shot out of a cannon.

Imagine if he took the Tigers contract!

The line for Will's first try when he left Alamoti stranded was perfect timing with pace and skill to hit the hole then turn and land the pass.

Really coming into his peak.

If the other 16 players (and I include Nicho) played like Briton Nikora we would be Premiers.

Oh, like getting the full 70 out at the same intensity?

It's the in game inconsistency that disappoints me.

The good thing is it's still very early in the season and something improves every game. 20 rounds to go.

I suspect that Fitz and the team feel the team peaked too early last year and the build up to September has been slowed down a bit. The side was well cooked by the semis last year

What are your pronouns azz?

All I know is when I get emails from someone who has announced theirs as they/them, I do make sure to reply all.
