Pacific Championships 2023 and other Internationals - Sharks related and game days

[Mr Angry]

I hope they go Val over Cobbo, I do not care about anthems, Cobbo is lazy, he is a kid, it shows, Val is an elite winger, he is and always plays well in green and gold.
Happy with the centres.

Thanks for that BBB

If Ronnie is going to play left wing, he has to develop a left arm carry. Attention to detail that makes the difference in finishing in the corner.

Doesn't matter. Timoko doesn't give him the ball. Wouldn't pass go in a Monopoly game that kid

Finally!

Haha

 

[sharknows]

Didn’t see the game how did our boys go?

My brief ratings

Nikora 8/10 with 1 try and 4000 1%s. He's a machine
Ronnie 7/10 with 2 tries and not much else

The Hammer, never seen a man beat a Manu before.

She played 2nd row vs Tonga as well. Wing, 2nd, 2nd over the 3 games

Nikora 7/10 - under utilised big time. Only 3000 clean ups this game. Many tackles. Soft meaty off a kick but he was there to get it.
Ronnie 7/10 - Safe under bombs. Showed he's still got hops with a spectacular meaty off a bomb. Clocked up his metres. Seemed slowish though.

Good to see Nicho get 23 minutes in a rep game - missed one goal line stop - a mental lapse.

Set up Cam Murray’s try with an absolute pearler of a pass.
Warmed into it - which is more than he was allowed to do by Freddy.

Was it was mental lapse? Think it was more about he didn't know how to defend a hooker going underneath as a middle. He'll learn that. I reckon he played himself onto the bench for the final. Pearler of a pass to Murray and a bit of Shark short side play to put Edwards away was nice

You’re probably right!

I only got to watch the full game of the Aus vs NZ men’s test today.
I’m not sure if this is an interesting point but it is Cronulla related. Every point scored by the Kiwis were scored by players who came through the Sharks junior systems: Nikora, Mulitalo, Nu Brown and Isaako. Throw in Holmes tally for the aussies, and it’s good to see that our club has played a hand in developing international players of substance.

Good to see some Positivety amidst the ussuall off season negativity and Mediocreativity (?) Improvements administration wise maybe point to retaining more of the keepers and attracting the missing links required.... One can only hope ! Im hoping for Rain too ! Its frkn dry here!
