Surely Ryley Jacks comes into the halves.
Sorry I had not realised Jacks was still in the 19. I agree he must come into the halves. So Jacks for Cronk, and C Smith for B Smith.

No way Tohu actually plays halfback.

If Cronk wasn't going to play then don't name him.

If Cronk has been given a spell for his recent heavy workload then why the hell wouldn't you do it against the Knights at home as opposed to the Sharks away?

Are the club conceding defeat to this game even before kick-off? I hope the rest of the boys - particularly the forwards - are fired up... If we go in not caring about the result, Cronulla could really put a score on us.

Have you guys missed Cronk's last few games against Cronulla? They targeted him and he wilted under the pressure.
Not sure why you've all gotten so pessimistic about tonights game all of a sudden. Playing with the extra forward is not the dumbest idea.

Cronk cracked under the speed of Cronulla's line, why are we pessimistic? Well maybe it is because we are either going to play a forward returning from injury who is significantly slower on his feet and does not have the incredibly rare skills possessed by Cronk, OR it is because we will be putting in a young raw halfback in Cronk's shoes to handle a barrage of late hits by a bunch of roid ragers.

I can't understand why Brandon Smith was at the captains run and not named at all either.

I don't mind them resting Cronk this week because Cam is back. I bet this was all planned out.

What a surprise Jacks is at half back. Not sure why Storm would even bother naming Harris at half back last night. If they didn't fool us, they weren't going to fool the Sharks.

Should be 18-0. No f*cking way Vunivalu knocked that on.

Billy trying too hard.
