Round 21 V Sharks

[martielang]

I think we've just got to try & beat the Sharks at their own dirty game. Put Cartwright in the 6, play up the middle & hope to wear them out. Katoa at 9 so we have another kicking option.

 

[ACTPanthers]

It doesn't matter who replaces Maloney, our attack is so blunt and ineffective, we will only score if Cronulla get five players sent off. Even then its touch and go whether we can score enough points.

Maybe I'm being harsh and Yeo and Kikau receiving an inside ball from Cleary bamboozles them and they both stroll through on several occasions, helping us rack up a cricket score.

Even then, we'll probably still take a penalty goal if we can...

So no Egan or Luai....Give Burton a run

I can't wait to see who they pick. I want Maloney suspended as well so he gets a break as he didn't over origin.

[ACTPanthers]

Well at least that takes Moylan having a blinder against us out of the equation...

Still think the Sharks will take the points comfortably, going off last weeks "effort" anyway.

I'll actually be pleasantly surprised if we can manage to score a try in this game to be honest.

I thought the same.

Don’t think he’s eligible to play? Unless he’s been upgraded to a development contract

 

[ACTPanthers]

Would an exemption be possible?

 

[Panfa]

Not sure if burton is able to play but he would be the best option at 5/8 to cover maloney and luai.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Unleash Burton.

 

[TheFrog]

The Sharks weren't last in most categories for the season though. Where do our points come from?

If you stop them scoring, you don't have to score than many yourself.

 

[TheFrog]

Not sure if burton is able to play but he would be the best option at 5/8 to cover maloney and luai.

They'll surely get an exemption to bring someone in, I'm not sure who we've got who can play in the halves, we've let them all go.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Would an exemption be possible?

I suppose so, but with Blore available they might reject it?

 

[herbert henry1908]

Blore doesn’t need an exemption, he’s in the development squad.

 

[TheFrog]

Blore doesn’t need an exemption, he’s in the development squad.

Does that mean they have to play him rather than anyone outside the squad?

 

[franklin2323]

If you stop them scoring, you don't have to score than many yourself.

Which we haven't done this year

 

[franklin2323]

Blore doesn’t need an exemption, he’s in the development squad.

He will get named you'd think but I'd push for Burton. Blore is too much like Cleary playing style wise

 

[forby]

I know! Let’s just forfeit. That might make some of you happy. I am getting totally frustrated by the total pessimism on this forum.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Does that mean they have to play him rather than anyone outside the squad?

Honestly not sure, but I could see how the NRL might say no to an exemption if we have a fit half.
