Game Day

[newman]

Graham has been ruled out.
Carney 90% to be ruled out.

I'm hearing Flano wants to finish 6th to play the injury depleted Knights and we will be tanking on Sunday.

I am having to do the hail marys in the footy tipping comp.

I was the only person to pick the broncs last night.

that put me 1 point behind first and out right 2nd.

the raiders it is.

Did you just write Paul merkins next headline. Lucky for us that shite tv show 360 has already been on this week.

Brohman said a few minutes ago he's hearing as many as 8 will be rested. He's pretty close to flanno so probably some truth in it. Moroko?!

 

[shaggs]

Moroko is a must

Stop listening to 2gb it is bad for you.

It'd be crazy not to rest Graham, Lewis and Carney especially, since they're all carrying.

Peachey and Townsend might as well have another run since it won't cost anything from the second tier (is that right?), could rest Fifita too to give Ross his 200th game.

This times a thooooousand

 

[eddiesmith]

lol didn't even realise there was a game last night, not a good result for us in that we want 6th but might be good to now have to rest half the side, be funny if the 2nd string side still won

 

[Sharkie73]

Hear that Carney, Graham, Gallen, Lewis, Gordon and Ryan are being rested.

I somehow missed the genesis of this particular Sharks forum meme. Someone want to clue me in?

 

[Omnishark2]

I'd definitely be resting Luke Lewis - for the semis, he is our second most important player behind Toddy IMHO.

 

[DJShaksta]

Fifita posted on his twitter account about half hour ago that he won't the missing the game.

@andrewfifita: There is no way ill be sitting out. Most important game of the year. Can’t wait and I hope there is a lot of sharks fans in Canberra!!!!!

THE Cronulla Sharks will be missing almost half their top side for Sunday's clash with the Raiders in Canberra.

Todd Carney (hamstring), Michael Gordon (calf, knee), Wade Graham (shoulder), Jayson Bukuya and Anthony Tupou are all set to miss the game, while skipper Paul Gallen is out through suspension.

More players, including hooker John Morris, are likely to be rested.


Todd Carney is nursing a hamstring issue. Picture: Brett Costello

The Sharks have already secured a home semi-final and coach Shane Flanagan is not prepared to risk injuries.

All will return for the semi-final on Saturday week.

Limping into the finals again with back-to-back losses

Exactly right. This is an opportunity to work on the plays needed in the semis.

INot sure I like the idea of resting too many.... Time will tell I suppose.

 

[stevie013]

if they are injured, sure let them rest, but if they are 100%, they play. resting players....geezus, who do we think we are??

 

[Vin Fizz]

Im ok with it. Its just like a bye. What is our record comming off the bye this year? Thought it was pretty good (could be wrong).
