Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Wests Tigers @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

I genuinely believe Sharpe will be the 7 next year

so there might be a possibility he runs out with a 6 on his back this weekend, but maybe jumps into first receiver every now and again

Sharpe spoke about it on a podcast and basically said there won't be a traditional 7 next year, but I think he'll stick to his current spot on the left and maybe add some kicking to his game (rather than none currently). Brown will slot into the current Cogger role and do more kicking than Shape.

I actually think we still have them covered in the backs despite Schiller being out but it’s the mismatch in the forwards that really worries me, especially the look of our bench.

McCarthy lining up on Skelton is a worry. Skelton is a big body and a real handful close to the line. Gags is going to have his work cut out for him working with a rookie on that edge

Oh really? What pod was that? Would be keen for a listen

Brown is so good on the left. Wonder why we shifting him and not Sharpe?

Think it was Freddy and the Eighth.

Purely a guess, but I reckon he will be doing most of the kicking, so you want to be on the right-hand side as a right footed kicker.

Was 5/8 in the role sharpe is currently filling, cogger/gamble were the halfback

Crossland was the halfback the last 7 games for us last year

What makes you say that, other than the number on his back. Because he wasn't, and even said so himself.

 

[Apey]

He was just taking hit-ups last year, it was pretty funny.

Apparently there's only 1000 tickets left for Sunday's game

I redeemed my 3 game membership for this game and it was extremely difficult to get a seat. A few seats here and there so took what I could get.

Wouldn’t disappoint me if the club had to do away with 3 game memberships in the years to come to be honest.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

If our middles can hold and we are able to cut off Skelton on their left edge, I think we'll win.

This is a big game imo

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

If we can actually complete our sets, we should win.

I'm predicting a Gagai MOTM performance

 

[Apey]

I reckon they'll get us 1 - 12. Home game might turn it. Would be more confident if the Pong was in form.

Reckon we'll be underdogs in the next 3 so if we lose today things are looking grim.

If we can actually complete our sets, we should win.

Big if.

 

[Woody90]

I don’t have a lot of hope for this one tbh. If we had either just injuries or poor form I’d give us a chance at home but both together is pretty grim. Tigers by 14 I reckon. Hope I’m wrong.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

It just started raining here on the Coast .. Only light though.
It was blue skies only an hour or so ago!

 

[Woody90]

Officially a sell out! That’s just wild for a struggling team in round 6.

 

[Yosh]

Team better turn up for the fans. Whatever the outcome I hope we really take it to them. This is a winnable game.

I reckon they’ll show up. They usually do in recent years particularly…it’s the lack of ability to hold the ball I’m most worried about!
